Has anyone got a picture of what this colour looks like?

Cheers

If that´s the same one than Oxford Green as per M3 E36, i can send you a picture of my car or upload here if i figure how to do that.

Found it at last on the bm3w.co.uk site. I don't know how to post it here either but for anyone who is interested it's in the buyers guide under colours.

I really like it, which is just as well because I may be getting an E46 M3 Coupe in this colour!

From www.bmw.co.uk 's website were you can build your virtual car, Green of any kind isn't an option on the M3, you can have an Oxford Green 330i though, is on the 'individual' colour chart for the M3

Oxford Green has been discontiued as an M3 colour now Raceboy.

Kicks the sh1te out of your residual anyway..

Only buy it if you reeeeealllly like it...

Individual will paint the car pretty much any colour in the current range as long as its a 3 series colour. They do do other colours too... Like Yellow

[pdavison]

I do really like it mainly because it's not the same old silver or black.

Would it be harder on residuals than seca blue or pheonix yellow?

[ScoobyZoom]

similar effect on residuals.. those are the three worst im afraid.. with white being the most hideous (however I like it )

Imola Red?

As long as it has the shiny 19" wheels they all look good...

IR fades, that's the only problem with it.

I saw an OG M3 (E46) last night, and although it was getting dark, I thought it looked quite good. Certainly a rare colour, since all you see is black/silver/grey (yes, including mine)

Hmm, I much prefer the less shiny 18" wheels. The car looks less "look at me i've got an M3" and more "I bought this car for what it can do, not how it looks"

Much better for the ride and handling too

[ScoobyZoom]

read bad roo's thread rich

[ScoobyZoom]

the point that the biog wheels add to resale and the general public couldn't tell the difference about the ride and handling with the 18's on..

The car rides better and handles better on 18's.. but only on a track
