Whats everyones thoughts on the Cape York Green color?

I have only seen it under non sunlight conditions and to me it looked dull. However alot of videos of this color it comes off as gorgeous depending on if there is sunlight or not.

Maybe some photos of said color would help. I like green as a rule but a few shades just don't work.

Definitely interesting. Not ugly.

Good, luxurious, light jewel tone.
I think would look good on X7 and XM

Wasn't there a 4 series in this color a few years back? Wasn't around very long. Kinda reminded me of the old Ford Turquoise. Looked nice.

Edit: It was 3 series, Blue Ridge Mountain Metalic.

BRMM is still available on X7 and others.
CYG looks great on the new X1. It's not flashy, and not really "sporty" but interesting as a rather unique color in a rather boring palette from BMW.

It all depends on what you you're using it.

I can only visualize this color on a SUV and frankly with all of the other colors that BMW offers I find CYG boring.

The color actually looks beautiful, but it depends on the person because we all have preferences and various ways of seeing things.

Not sure which model you are considering and if you want to spend the additional money for an individual color and that this green color is offered for the car you are looking at but this week I saw an M5 Competition in Individual Verde Ermes Pearl Metallic that my service advisor owns and it looked awesome! Here is an online photo from the BMW personalizing page for individual colors but the car looked even prettier in person on a sunny day!

PS, and off topic, the sound coming from the M5 Competition's sport exhaust gave me goose bumps!

Historically, in the US, any shade of green has been the worst selling color. Lease or own it for the long term.
