Title says it all.

What color out of the X3 selection did you get or did you order your new X3 G45

Pictures might be great to help others to chose.

I bought dark grey metallic with black interior.

Brooklyn Grey with black M Alcantara/Veganza interior on an X3 M50.

[MidnightLight]

Exterior: Tanzanite Blue II Metallic
Interior. Espresso Brown Perforated and Quilted Veganza

Haven't taken delivery yet. Will update with photos eventually.

This is what it should look like but have gone for the 21" M jet black matte 1037M wheels but with blue caliper coupled with black perforated and quilted venganza - last light-colored seats one I got blue jean dye on! so went for the darker shade,

Also, the dealer will de-badge the car so on the back it will only have X3 and M badge but in black. The silver seemed to compete.

I saw a X4 in it and it looked really nice. Time will tell if it is a risk.

alpine white is the best to get the contrast look from the gloss black trims. other colors doesnt constrast well

would prefer mineral white but unfortunately not available for m sport trim

I haven’t seen anybody with the Arctic Race Blue color? Let’s see some pics of it. I have the feeling it’s more grey than blue in color.

[Ravenous666]

It is a light blue. There are plenty of videos on YouTube.

I made a picture of the Arctic race blue and Vegas Red samples at the dealership.

I'm still undecided....

Its a pretty color from what I can tell. I wish it was available for the M440i Gran Coupe. I know the M340i has the option of it this year.

I'm not a buyer, but if I was, Vegas Red is my only choice.

It was for me too at first.

But when you look at it when not in bright sunlight, it has a Bordeaux tone which I don't like at all.

Well, as they don't have Thundernight in the purple family (like the 2 Series) or any version of Orange, I guess I'd be out of luck if I didn't like the low light appearance. I took Aventurin Red on my G01, as there was nothing else I found appealing, but you probably would not care for that as it could have been called "Bordeaux"!

The Individual program is tempting but far too expensive. Good luck with your choice!

[Ravenous666]

Aventurine Red is not my taste. Makes the car look quite old-school.

We had a red E36 coupe and a misano red Audi TT roadster in the past and these where great bright red tones.

Individual paint is a possibility but I'm also not rushing to throw an extra 4000,- in just for the paint

IMO, when it comes to reds, they have to be very bright. Like a Ferrari red. They’re meant to stand out. Go big or go home.

I saw the Arctic Blue in person on an X3, although it was at night. I didn’t like it at all. It came across as very dark and not very sporty, IMO.

Yes, but if only the choices were offered! Once I get past the German Color Scale, what's really left to choose? At least some value of red will tickle the retinal cones a bit. Thundernight and Valencia are definitely missing here as well. Vegas has more punch than Aventurin but the selections are meager to me. BMW Individual or a full wrap are quite costly.

This forum platform doesn't have a snoozing emoji, but that photo of two X3 would get two ZZZZs from me for color.
