Whats everyones thoughts on the Cape York Green color?
Whats everyones thoughts on the Cape York Green color?
I have only seen it under non sunlight conditions and to me it looked dull. However alot of videos of this color it comes off as gorgeous depending on if there is sunlight or not. |

Good, luxurious, light jewel tone.
I think would look good on X7 and XM

Wasn't there a 4 series in this color a few years back? Wasn't around very long. Kinda reminded me of the old Ford Turquoise. Looked nice.
Edit: It was 3 series, Blue Ridge Mountain Metalic. Last edited by snowbimmer; 02-03-2023 at 03:31 PM.. |

BRMM is still available on X7 and others.
CYG looks great on the new X1. It's not flashy, and not really "sporty" but interesting as a rather unique color in a rather boring palette from BMW. It all depends on what you you're using it. |

The color actually looks beautiful, but it depends on the person because we all have preferences and various ways of seeing things.

Historically, in the US, any shade of green has been the worst selling color. Lease or own it for the long term.

Color grew on me
I have a 530i w/Cape York Green and honestly wasn’t crazy about it on the showroom floor. It was dark outside when I test drove the car and under the showroom lights it looked almost gray, but like a flat gray, which I hate. Anyway, dealership offered me a good deal, because they couldn’t find one in the color I wanted (black), so I bought it. The next day when I saw it in the sunlight, it looked completely different in a good way. Since then, I’ve grown to really like it and get more compliments on this car/color than any car I’ve had before.

Sort of like a poor man's sea foam color?

I like green.
This particular green doesn’t do a lot for me, at least as it appears in the photo. It’s too gray.

I went with this color and am glad I did. SO sick of white, black, silver, and gray as the only colors you see on cars these days. I’ve got a few pics in my garage listing in my profile.

I just bought my in-laws an X1 in this color and they love it. It's a really nice and unique color for sure:

It definitely a chameleon color.
There is only one person that has to love it and thats you. I was looking at Arctic Race Blue on my m440i which was nice but I didn't love it. I had to get my by far favorite color for me Portimao Blue. Every time I see my PB I love it and would have regretted getting ARB because it didn't pop for me. |

My grandmother had a metallic green Chevy circa 1975 and I had a green VW Jetta.
I did say it was the worst selling not that it didn't sell. Sales numbers are what they are
