Beautiful color - a lot of green on the eyes though…

yea darker greens look better on 8 series like san remo, BRG, malachite, and verde ermes

Definitely the best looking BMW currently in production. Don't like the wheels though.

While I was in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago on the way to a client's home to see his car collection I saw a G80 M3 in Isle of Man Green in natural sunlight. It was beautiful.

I would say that it may very well be the best color from the current color palette. In natural light the color "pops" and pictures cannot do that color any favors.

Good to know and yes true color from pics done by a cellphone is non-existent. I'd prefer a darker green but $0 cost on what sounds like a great option is fantastic.

I probably left out that the color appears rich and much more so than the typical BMW grey and black people choose.

Normally I am not a green fan but I find Porsche's Paint To Sample Oak Green Metallic a fantastic hue but in my humble opinion Isle of Man Green is probably a better green.

Once again thanks for the info which sounds promising as a great color. Out of curiosity have you seen the M850i similar offering, i.e., an Remo Green Metallic in the flesh?

Same probe for anyone else out there that has as would love to hear the feedback on the Remo. No surprise as to not a single 8-series (840, etc.) on the ground here at a dealer for me to check it out first hand.

I have seen San Remo Green in person, its closer to Verde Ermes than it is to Oak Green/Malachite Green. Under shade SRG is still "greener" than Malachite Green. Malachite is closer to Manhattan Green Metallic and has a more grayish hue. Under the sun, San Remo is a darker green compared to Malachite. (Might be biased, as I went with Malachite).

I have only seen about 2-3 cars in that color and all have been M3's in Isle of Man Green.

I ordered 'peridot green'. Not many people ever seen it but i decided its what I want. Would be interesting to put it aside with BRG or boston green but chances are very slim I can find another M8 in those colors somewhere around.

I think the biggest difference will be under direct sun since PG is a metallic color where as BRG is a uni color

Agreed and why when I was toying with the idea of a green for my 2020 M850i with no option other than $5K Individual I scratched BRG off the list due to it being a uni paint.

you got it right and it was a reason i went with peridot.
The car built is moving fast and we may see live pictures in 3 weeks.

I’ll be driving Tail of the Dragon in Oct……come on up and we’ll compare, although I know yours will definitely be more eye catching.
