Thanks.

Had seen it on a 4 series and thoughts it might work.

I think you can be 100% convinced that it does work!

Very cool color combo and touring. Green certainly isn't a popular color these days and barely offered. Your color reminds me is my Oxford Green W32.

Oxford Green would have been my first choice. It's a more 'traditional' BMW colour. There's even two Oxford green e46 Cabriolets on my street (probably swayed my decision on green).

Sanremo green is a production colour on the 4 series though. So although it's still (a lot) more than regular paint, you get it for a couple of thousand(£) less than Oxford Green or one of the other greens. Sort of 'mid-range'.

Was blown away when I saw it. As you don't get distracted by the mahoosive grilles that you have on the 4 series, you have more time to appreciate what BMW have done with the colour.

Interesting idea to pick a colour that's not listed as individual as such but offered for another model.
Potentially opens up the choice more (although you could argue you can get any colour you want subject to handing over enough cash!)

Beautiful color! Had the same car(Elekta E34) as inspiration when speccing my but ended up with BRG and Caramel on my M550i. But your choice is clever since its much cheaper individual option than mine.

Nice! Go team #greenovertan

BRG matches the Elekta.
Those seats must be lovely too.

Plus you get a better soundtrack than me from up front.

Perfect combination!!!
Exterior color + Interior + Black Trim + Wheels = match made in heaven.
You nailed it!!

Thank you! A full house. Praise indeed.

Couple of weeks since picking it up, and I'm still peeking out the window at it.

Skyrider01 · 12-04-2021, 12:53 PM

Beautiful! Congrats!

erawamai · 12-04-2021, 02:44 PM

That's a lovely spec.

Definitely a full house.

Not surprised you keep peeking out at it.

Beautiful colour scheme, congrats on the new acquisition

Along with verysideway's G21 being one of the best looking 3's.

Inspiration was indeed taken from verysideways

Not taken the plunge on the gold alloys yet though.

Although I bought the winters from his X3, so might investigate bolt patterns / widths to see whether I can put in a bid for those and save some work.

verysideways · 12-07-2021, 01:36 AM

Beautiful car!

An M550i touring would be about the only thing I'd swap my G21 for, and your spec works so well 👌
Bet that diesel lump pulls like a train too eh?

Now there's a project for someone... an M550i Touring build.

More torque grunt than a Lambo Huracan in the 30d; albeit not quite the same experience with the windows down in a tunnel.

YETIinFL · 12-07-2021, 09:27 AM

Wow, that is a spectacular color. I bet it looks even better in person. Congrats.
