As green was set for my gf and myself and the stock color options for the X5 LCI are quite limited we had to go the Individual route and ended up considering the following colors:
- Oxford Green
- Boston Green
- Verde Ermes Green
- Aurora Diamond Green
- Malachite Green
- Urban Green
- British Racing Green
Boston, Verde Hermes, Aurora Diamond & Urban were out early, because they are just "too loud" or not to our liking.
So we went to the BMW Welt to see all the colors, most on samples except for a Verde Hermes Green X3M, and went with Malachite Green after going back and forth between Oxford Green and Malachite Green. British Racing Green (Uni) was "too light" for my girlfriend and I'm unsure myself about Uni since my 7-Series is "Black II", which is Uni, and an absolute pain to keep clean and you can see every single swirl, chip, etc. and I just LOVE how Malachite Green is right on the edge between being "too loud" and "too boring". Especially the golden shimmer in sunlight is just beautiful and in less light it still looks green while a lot of darker colors just look black at dusk/night.
