Hi all, as I am going the individual paint way for my M3, I am torn between Marina Bay Blue Metallic, British Racing Green and Irish Green. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Does anyone know which BMW individual green is the closest to the Aston Martin one?

I would probally say IOMG

That Aston is actually British Racing Green I'm pretty sure. Aston is British after all!

The BMW version is going to be a different shade obviously but it's a great color.

The BRG and Irish green look amazing and unique, I would definitely go that direction over IOMG which is not individual or unique at this point (don't get me wrong, it is nice tho!)

The Aston green is metallic with more blue than BRG. From what I’ve found, Boston and Peridot green seem the closest BMW colors. Anyone seen these colors IRL?

Right now, I’m thinking:
Option 1: Marina Bay Blue metallic + Tartufo interior + black 826 wheels
Option 2: Irish green + black carbon seats + black 826 wheels

Option #2 would be pretty sweet.

The outcome may be similar to this one:

Wish tartufo was available in bucket seats. It would open up a lot of color combinations

That's the way to go out of those options for sure

I saw this car in real life. Gorgeous even without buckets!
I am just thinking BRG might be a tad too dark when the sun isn’t out

I believe the color is called AMR Green (Aston Martin Racing Green) and the closest color that BMW offers is Boston Green.

MBB looks am amazing on these cars and have see it in person.

Another green, although more gold base in the sun but highly metallic is Verde Ermes. Bias I know as we ordered it, but it is unique with only a handful of G80/G82 cars in the world according to BMW. Not a cheap color though.

Verse Ermes looks beautiful and the metallic flakes are eye catching in the sun. But it feels too “elegant” for me. I like the non metallic paints because they bring a bit more “sportiness / simplicity” to the look.
Not decided yet, but closer to Irish Green as it looks green in all light conditions

Stealing this thread (sorry OP), what do you guys think of the neon green piping on that AM? Do you think our G80 would look good with piping like many of these exotic cars (lambo, McL, etc.)
Any good pix with tasteful piping done on the M3?
Since I am having the BG and blue theme going, I am thinking of some blue pipping but I don't want to make my M3 looks like it should be on the next Tokyo Drift movie

Beautiful. Would pair nicely with 1000M wheels!

[Alps40]

Thanks all. I decided to go with Irish, can’t wait until delivery

Completely agree. Have considered and I would of ordered them if I ordered the car again.
