I would expect that type of green on a lambourghini or a challenger. Def did not expect on a 1 series. I'm not what I think about it here

the 2002 came in Tiaga Green. the 1 comes in Power Green. Modern day interpretation of a classic. very fitting since thats exactly what the 1 is in the first place.

Beautiful...I think it appaling that the only colors we get over here are:
black dull black metallic black silver dull silver metallic silver grey dull grey metallic grey blue dull blue metallic blue white and the occasional red My Barrique Red color gets noticed everywhere and makes the car look much more expensive than it really is. BMW, bring back the color palette!

I agree that BMW's color palette is on the boring side, but it also seems like a LOT of people opt for the "boring" colors - don't know if that's a case of BMW offering people what they want or people simply choosing what BMW has to offer.
Anyway, no offense to the many people choosing black, white, gray, or silver - I think these colors can look very good, but it just seems like there's a MILLION of them out there. I chose crimson because I love red cars and think the 1er wears it well, but I was also glad that it seems to be one of the less popular colors for some reason. What happened to Imola Red? Dakar Yellow? Inka Orange? Laguna Seca Blue? (Man, I think an LSB 1er would look HOT!)

Love it! Finally something different. I'm tired of seeing the same color schemes from BMW. There are too many Blues, Reds, etc. I would definitely order this color if its available in the US. I wonder what other NEW colors BMW has available for special order?

Well studies in Europe and America have shown the best selling colours are Black, Grey/Silver, Blue, and White.
So while it may be 'safe' it also sells the most. In addition to that you have image. BMW sells an image which is different from say Mini with its colour options. Sure people can paint an aftermarket colour just like they can put aftermarket 'ghetto' tyres on the car. But in today's world there is a reason why BMW doesn't offer spinning wheels as an option as it doesn't go with their image. And while most modifications done on here are tasteful, I would imagine for the most part BMW wouldn't mind if every car was only using BMW available options as in their eyes you are a driving advertisement for the brand. This is so much more evident with premiums brands like BMW, Mercedes, Audi.

Its an interesting color, head turner for sure. Id like to see it on a M3. Its a similar color to this Lexus IS C concept that Lexus did a photo shoot at our one business for. Lexus is customized by Fox Marketing for Lexus NA
