Green, in any variety, historically reduced the value of resale/trade in when you plugged it into an estimator. Usually not by much, but I always wondered about that.

OK let me go ever so slightly beyond resale value....


"Hi am calling about the BMW that you have for sale,,, can you tell me what color it is?"

Yeah absolutely it's a very lovely Green, it's called Manhattan Green.... CLICK ☠️

Interestingly, although the NA configurator isn't available for the X5 with that color yet (still 2019), if you try to configure an X7 in Manhattan Green and Extended Shadowline trim it deletes the color.

That is because in order to get the Extended Shadowline trim you need to have the MSport design and Manhattan Green is not available for an MSport, at least for an X7.

All I can say is I don't want my car to resemble my drink.



Give us silver, please, BMW.

Correct; would have been more accurate to say that Manhattan Green is not available with factory black trim in the X7. Any chrome delete would be after market....

There is a similar rule for the X5, you can't get an MSport in Jet Black or Dark Graphite.

The Ordering Guide for the 2020 X5, however, doesn't mention a restriction on MG, also interestingly. All it says is that Extended Shadowline (ZM9) requires ordering M Sport Package (ZMP), and that ZMP requires ordering C3D (Manhattan Green) as one of the colors. So Shadowline Manhattan Green lovers, apparently you're golden!

Yes I know, if it did I would have listed MG as one of the colors that can't get MSport.

love it and got tons of compliment

so I purchased this Manhattan green X5 last week 2020 model, and since then I got tons of compliment, it is a unique color, there are so many whites and blacks out there but then this color makes my car to stand out. and people think I paid extra for it,
from far it has a brown tone to it, so some people think it os brown, from closer you can see the olive green tone to it.
interior is Ivory and goes together really good

Green is a tough colour to carry. I remember a lot of compliments on this wrap.

I understand colour is a market differentiator but I wish they'd have a BMW go to colour range like the iconic styling.

Black 22 inch wheels & extended shadowline trim, would help this color look much better on G05.

That has to be the most ridiculous attempt at justifying a color choice. If the buyer liked it that’s all that matters. Having deep pockets doesn’t make that person have better taste then the next.
