I saw that color at the BMW dealer at the time I was shopping for a car.
I asked the salesman why you guys get that?
He goes we didn't know what it would look like.
I told him i guess you are putting it in the front to help it sale?
He goes i hope so, but he doubts it will sell.

I saw one parked outside my office building earlier this week.

I thought it was a custom color at the time.

The color might look good on a Jag but definately not on a BMW.

Expensive, ugly and built by a manufacturer that values complexity over reliability. At least BMW has chosen a color that suits the Bangled design.

that's a horrible paintjob. aside from the color, the paint is sprayed on too thick and the paint surface is not smooth. looks like as if it was painted with spraycan.
seriously man, how did you tell all that from these pics?

I think that's BMW's version of British Racing Green. it's called "Bavarian Beer Shits Green", and is sponsored by the Hofbraeuhaus.

Almost any time I see a Z3 or Z4, there is an old couple in it, both with matching hats, usually hats (the hats, I mean.. well, the old people are usually white too I guess, but anyway). My girlfriend mentioned she should get a hat to keep her hair out of her face, and that image flashed in my mind and I forbid her to buy a hat. at least in red, cause that's the color I wear.

They used to have billboards for the Z4 that just said "Land Shark", which I thought sounded about right, cause it's a car that looks too big for how small it is.... if that makes sense.

speaking of colors, where is the best place to see a bunch of pics of european or asian S2000s out on the streets.. is there a place on s2ki.com? They have some sweet colors over there.
holy crap, do I ramble or what....
