2023 550i British Racing Green

Individual color only added maybe three weeks to the build which wasn’t bad at all…. don’t see many green cars anymore - just mostly black, white and various shades of blue and grey.

Looks like someone backed into that "compact cars only" sign and pushed it over

I've loved green ever since I was a child; I just had to go with the individual route when I fell in love with malachite green metallic; I'll be taking more pictures soon and creating a new thread; for now, there's a picture from delivery, then two pictures when I went to get the front license plate bracket installed, and the fourth picture after ceramic coat and front PPF.

First saw this thread now and happy to see another one in the best Color I know.
How many BRG M550i are there? In this forum its me, you and S55 M2. On Instagram I have seen one in Poland as well. And then there was a limited edition in South Korea with 25 BRG M550i cars.

Certainly rare and lives up the name of individual

Unlike nardo grey which if you look at on the m5 threads is by far the most common individual colour

Weird colour , never heard of it before and if you watch the video, it’s not actually what the dealer ordered!! They ordered blue!

Goodies is maybe the wrong expression but did order some nice carpets with color matched leather binding, dark carbon aluminium from the F90 and mirror caps painted in BRG.

Marlow do you still have your British Racing Green m550i? The Porsche Dealership in Stratham NH recently had a 2023 for sale, and they sold it in 2 days to someone in New York. I REALLY wanted to get it, but missed out. :-(
