Artic Metallic? Blueish or Greenish???

ska///235i · 09-28-2005, 04:24 PM

Any Artic Mtlc Owners please comment on their car color. Is it blue or green???

Nikki · 09-28-2005, 04:29 PM

BLUE!

but yes, it will sometimes look green :*(

It depends on the light, not everyone agrees, but I think that it looks silvery-blue in the sun, and grayish-green in the shade.

Nikki · 09-28-2005, 04:30 PM

this is the lighting i think it looks best in:

love it when it's this color!

I've seen 1 or 2 pics around where it looks greenish, but I don't think I've ever seen it in real life looking green. I wouldn't mind if it did, I like that quality about it, the variability... but mostly I think it looks more blueish grey... or greyish blue?

longtran · 09-28-2005, 05:41 PM

eimSD you coming to oct. meet?

matze328 · 09-28-2005, 06:47 PM

on the most pictures it looks a little bit "greenish" to me - thats why it will not be my choice.

ska///235i · 09-28-2005, 11:07 PM

davinet78 · 09-29-2005, 06:09 AM

I'm not sure, the kids so frequently have stuff going on on the weekends, I'll have to wait and see.

I've got an E91 Touring in Arctic.

In bright weather it's definitely light green.

In less bright conditions it's pale blue.

In very dull weather it's grey.

If you have a fear of green stay away from Arctic. I really want my car to 'freeze' in its blue state as I much prefer it to when it's having it's green days - but green it is over 50% of the time.

I wasn't at all sure about the colour ( I chose it as I wanted something different as BMW colours are so dull) but now I've got it it's really growing on me - and everyone who see's it comments on "what a lovely colour"

It certainly is... and the car's none too shabby either.

I really like your hi-res pics.

I'll probably end up with something very similar come next August - preferably an 325iT if BMWCA decides us mere consumers worthy of the honor. I'll take an XiT if they don't give me the choice, but it must be a touring. Then I'll have to decide if I want to take on the responsibility of a lemon interior.

ska///235i · 10-01-2005, 07:01 PM

Bleen or Grue color, I ordered....LOL

now the long wait begins
