Whats happened to the older style dark green metallic cars in recent years? Call me old school but it has become one of my fav colours in recent times..







Too much of this wecession white / bogey green /



Is it just me or does everyone else agree??

I think BGR only suits certain car styles. Would look shite on euro boxes for example.

I like how your first photo captures 2 great BRG vehicles

Yeh, wouldn't suit ll vehicles, but would be nice to have the option

The people who "Know what we want" have decided that white, black, four different greys and a sh***y blue are the fashionable colours for decent European cars. For the next few years anyhow.

A**holes.

They have all the colours in buckets at the factory, all they need to do is paint cars...
There are a couple of colours that should accidentally spill into the sump and be lost forever, that puke orange mustard colour that bmw put on some M's and Mary Kay Pink to name a few......

+1.

Deep green is a fav of mine too. I had an e92 in deep sea green with cream interior which was beautiful and rare in that combo. While on my search for a z4c coupe I missed out on one in the same colour which looked stunning. I've got bored with black.

My Westfield is British Racing Green and I love it, but I do agree it doesn't suit most vehicles.

I had a British racing green BMW mini cooper for a few years a while ago,

Loved the colour, when cleaned up it looked amazing and had a great metallic fleck in it so really shined well.

Its funny when you say you have a green coloured car, some people think you mean a bright green colour and so don't realise how nice it is.

Seems alot of car manufacturers prefer the really bright greens (if they actually do a green colour) that will look pretty awful in a few years time where as BRG is a classic.

I think it would look good on the coupe

I personally hate greens so the less the better

I had a focus st in electric orange though, so what do I know?

I agree. BRG is suitable to certain types of car. Sporty old brit cars, Or more elegant cars. Such as the 2000 528 in emerald metallic green I owned. Don't think it would suit the Zed though.

Our next vehicle (M-B GLK250 Blue Tec) will be white & I like the looks of it in that color. Of course Walla Walla Wa. Can be very hot (42) in the summer and dusty from all the wheat fields that are burned after harvest. Very, very difficult to have a dark color not be scratched up & looking rubbish in those conditions.

Here's my BRG car. I think it suits the Caterham.

I've seen a few pre facelift E46 saloons in oxford green. Always found that a strange choice but suits my dads E34 perfectly.

You can have any colour as long as it suits the car. I know mini still do British racing green but on a nice sports car you can't go wrong. I'd rather have a dark green over black or white for that matter. Far too many white cars out there. People think it looks sporty and fast but not for me thanks. Oxford green also looks cleaner for longer than some colours, ideal in the winter
