Hmmm, being a huge green BMW fan, I'm perplexed on this particular Malachite.

The Malachite I know is my favorite BMW color (next to Aegean Blue).

This is what I think of when I hear Malachite Green:

And here's an actual color reference from BMW:


So there's no way the photography is murdering the color accuracy of these M8 shots that bad, so it must be a newer Malachite green that BMW has released in the last few years? Or the one I like is the 'dark' and the one on the M8 is the light version? Does anybody have the paint code for this individual M8? Man I was talking with my dealer about getting an individual M4 in Malachite, and I would have freaked out if it arrived in that M8's shade of green instead of the one above.

Here's some video of this 'new' Malachite green on an F90 M5:

p.s. I messaged Shmee150 (Tim) on his new M8 Competition in Oxford Green trying to figure out if he got Oxford (1) 324, or Oxford (II) 430... he sadly didn't respond
