Are you sure about those photos? They look like they've had very heavy post-production to me.
I've had several BMWs in Oxford Green and it looked not much like any of those colours in the photos. It looked smart enough on 5-Series Tourings (E34 and E39s). Sort of a country pheasant shoot look. :lol: I had it on an E38 740i with a tan interior and it just about worked for me. I've seen it in reality on an E46 M3 and it didn't appeal and I'm not so sure about it working on a Z4. All of those examples above do look good...but I don't think their imagines in the photos are truly Oxford Green.
There is a BIG difference between Oxford green 1 and Oxford green 2 (M3 E46)
1 is boring but 2 is Lovely.

I quite like the low key paint colour look on a car like this (I guess that's why I like the blue), but yes maybe it wouldn't work. Thanks for talking me out of it
I do like a nice green though

Not one for green but this MR2 with the gold wheels looks just great.

Jesus that E46 looks so good, I’ve been seriously thinking of getting back into one again and pictures like that do not help.john-e89 said:

If you could replicate that colour, I'd be 2nd in the queue behind you!
That would look fantastic!

Would be Estoril all day long for me
Favourite M colour ever, apart from the fact every model is now available in it which is a real shame. Even on the M3 it was an individual colour.
My best friend is like you, Tom...he absolutely LOVES Estoril. Yet, I just don't 'get it' on anything other than an E36 M3. :lol:

Again, an E36 M3 and an E34 M5 are the only cars that colour works for me on!
I guess I remember those cars being launched so vividly...I was already on my late 20s/early 30s that I just associated those cars with those colours too strongly?
Same with Estoril.
Dakar Yellow is the same.
