Power Green Metallic 1-series coupe spotted

BMW86 · 04-11-2010, 05:02 PM

I think it looks great. Each to their own and props for trying something different. I'd be happy to have this colour on my 135i provided I had all the cosmetic upgrades to go with it.. Wheels, kit, lowering, tint etc. I think this is on the ricer side but it still retains its class. Green probably isn't my pick either but maybe an electric blue or something else is something I'd go for.

F1 Fanatikko · 04-11-2010, 07:17 PM

hate it.

Itanius · 04-11-2010, 08:46 PM

Hmm, that just might be the worst color I've ever seen.

Berduderunner · 04-11-2010, 09:22 PM

I think I would really like it w/ all shadowline accents... chrome + green? ehhh

Garduna · 04-11-2010, 09:51 PM

Looka interesting and very unique. It would work wonders for a car like a Lambo but not too much for this car. Darker green with gunmetal rims, it would rock

OBI_agent · 04-12-2010, 02:03 AM

I like this color. It looks different in a cool way.

If Toyota can offer a similar color why not BMW

polaxgr · 04-12-2010, 07:39 AM

i picture it with matte black csl's 19" and black tint , i am lovin it

spudw · 04-12-2010, 10:52 AM

In the 5th photo there is something green that can be seen through the front wheel. At first I thought they had the calipers painted to match, but it doesn't show in other photos. Strange.

My guess is it belongs to some up-and-coming fashion designer, hair dresser or a performance artist. Not because of the 4-cyl or anything to do with the model, but I just can't see an accountant or a soccer mom ordering up that color.

I think it would be hot on an M model with other stuff in CF and some matching accents. But I don't think I'd order it for myself.

+1

I think Sedona Red Metallic is BMW's modern day homage to Inka Orange on the 2002. Thats why I got it in Sedona!

How about "Pathetic Green"?

Weak?

The 120i engine is a gem: a hi-tech NA 85bhp/liter powerplant with turbine-smooth power delivery, outstanding perfomance, and diesel-like fuel consumption. Just because you drive a 135 don't mean the rest of 1-series are weak, especially the highly efficient versions that are only sold in Europe.

Get your stats right

Dackelone · 04-14-2010, 06:36 PM

I wish BMW would offer the "Exclusive" program on 1-er's and 3-er's. When I ordered my 135i I specifically asked about a no cost delete of the sun roof and special ordering a non BMW color. BMW said NIEN!!

I wanted Porsche's "Zermatt Silber". I had a Porsche 944 Turbo in that color and just love it! I have also seen in on some "Special Wishes" P-cars in Zuffenhausen factory owned dealership.

I don't understand why BMW could not offer special order colors on the one and three series cars. Too bad. Seems like they only offer that for the people who buy five, six and seven series cars.

Now that is quite the stretch!

ptack · 04-14-2010, 06:59 PM

anemic, weak, mewling
I lived with a BMW 4 cylinder for 13 years and the only redeeming thing about it was the mileage which of course was the whole point. Applying the word "power" to a 120i is indeed ironic. "Eco Green" would be more fitting.

zmaster007 · 04-15-2010, 01:46 PM

Bigger wheels and lower, it looks alright: (excuse the hack-job)

But a tiny bit darker and it looks pretty good!

Lame attempt at orange:

I've often thought that. I'm not a big fan of Sedona, but it's growing on me, and I like how it's sort of the "signature" color of the 1er coupé (at least according to BMW's marketing).

AntonV · 04-15-2010, 03:12 PM

honestly, Sedona has its good days and bad days. You need a really clear sunny day, especially when the sun starts setting. The color is amazing.

on an overcast day, it looks like a ford taurus red.

I couldnt be happier with it......every tom, dick & harry has it in silver, black or blue. I wanted to be different.

AlBel1214 · 04-15-2010, 03:14 PM

Some flat black wheels, grills, trim would look sweet on this...

///M1 · 05-14-2010, 11:26 AM

Only Green I can accept is the heritage Jaguar Racing Green, and perhaps the GT3 RS green. On the small 1 looks like a summer bug.

Red Bread · 05-14-2010, 11:54 AM

I like it, and would have considered it had it been available here. How many shades of grey can one company offer? I'm tired of the lame colors offered by BMW, Audi/VW and MB. Brighter colors work well on most cars, and not everything should look like a variant of primer.

FJUNO78 · 05-15-2010, 06:20 PM

like it... wouldnt want it for a DD, but would be down to have a project/track/weekend car looking all sorts of funky

Russo · 05-15-2010, 09:59 PM

i like it as stated above with the flat black stuff... it reminds me of the new Camaro Synergy Green... it would be nice if the de'chroming of cars became more of a factory option than having to resort to the aftermarket

+1 also not forget that in some countries like here in NL the 135i is crazy expensive

135i starts at €59,680 ($73,883) and the 125i at €48,000 ($59,424) Both without options

That green is sort of cool but wouldn't buy it myself in that color.
