Y'know how Boston Green kind of changes color depending on how the light changes. One moment it's dark green then, from a different angle, it's turquoise.

On a different thread I mentioned how I'd painted my new hardtop the wrong color. Came out too dark.

Miserable weather today and looking out the kitchen window through the rain the whole car looks really dark green almost the same as the hardtop and ("I" think) the car looks awesome.

I want that dark green color all the time. I don't want that 70's twotone suit effect (younger people won't remember those suits)

I was planning on a total respray early next year anyway. But now I'm thinking of a color change.

Looking for a dark green. Preferably a BMW color.

Oxford green? What's that like in real life?

If you look under the bonnet of a Boston green beemer the metalwork is a non-metallic dark green. Wondering about a non metallic color like that. Something like jaguar BRG. Does bmw do anything like that?

Sorry. I'm rambling. But you get the idea

What do you reckon?

My 2000 Z3 was Oxford Green and it looked very nice, but, even that looked black in certain lighting. I’ll add some pictures later.

That would be great Tony. Thanks. I love the look of z3 with hardtop. A totally different 'meaner' look. I might never take it off.

Dark green leaning towards black sounds mean.:ymdevil:

That's perfect as a non-metallic option. I like that. Thank you.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. But please keep the color suggestions and opinions coming. Any less common BMW dark greens out there?

Also - is it sacrilege to be talking about changing the color?
