IX3 KING wroteThe German Color Scale (Black to White with all non-color silver/grey/etc "colors" inbetween) are snoozers. Blue is a bit more interesting. Red is at least stimulating to the eyes. Thundernight/Daytona or Valencia/Sunset would have helped this carline a lot. I'd probably wait for the Individual Program to launch.What colour is everyone ordering.

Very subjective, the frozen space silver seems interesting but pricier.

IX3 KING wroteIn my opinion, your car looks best in silver. My wife didn't want silver or white, so we ended up with green.I will be getting the range topping BMW iX3 m sport pro fully loaded. Any help would be great.
The German list where my car is included has already been posted.

I go with Ocean wave blue. Currently I have a San Remo green i4 M50 and Eucalyptus green is not as nice green so I would be comparing them all the time. If I had for example a black car atm probably would have chosen the Eucalyptus green.

i keep wavering between space silver which I have seen the car in and eucalyptus green. Currently orderd eucalyptus but with option to change when there is eventually a eucalyptus to see. I know someone said eucalyptus not as good as their current green but as no one has seen it and every render and phtoo is totally different we still don't know. The render example in showroom looks nothing like BMW photos but then neither do any of the other render samples look like the actual cars.

I went for alpine white myself.

Hi, first post here for me as I ordered mine just a couple of weeks ago. My first option was Brooklyn with black interiors. I liked the combo very much. In the end, taking into consideration I didn't have ventilated seats, I went for brighter digital white interiors matching Ocean wave. I have to say that I like blue very much and this is my fourth blue car in a row since my black X1 15 years ago

Jayzars wroteMine has the paint sample panel too but it looks nothing like the photos of it. Also the other paint sample panels look different to the paint on the cars even when when placed next to the car! So I am waiting to see the real thing.Our showroom has the eucalyptus green paint sample panels - check yours, maybe they do as well?

I'd love to see the Eucalyptus in person. I don't see many of the Minis where I'm at so my chances of seeing the color this year seem low until the iX3 comes here in force, and even then I'm sure a small cohort will select it. I guess my dealer may have a sample but even seeing it in a showroom feels weird as that's not the lighting conditions that the car will spend the majority of its life in.
In photos it looks decent if a bit light and sage-y (which makes sense to me given the name). But I thought the same of the Digital Teal on the Hyundai Ioniq5, that it was kind of... depth-less? Then I saw one in person in the sun and it's much deeper and gorgeous. So I await seeing a Eucalyptus iX3 with earnest.

I ordered Eucalyptus Green. It's essentially light grey with mild light green tints outdoor in bright light, and darkish grey indoor/poor lighting, and everything else in the middle. (Dealer had a door piece sample, it was poor lighting. I am speculating about the bright light from random pics).
BMW describes it as earthy non showy color that hides dirt.

I normally like BMW blues but the Ocean Wave looks a bit dull, particularly when compared with the Le Castallet Blue in all the i3 launch pictures.

IF you really love the Frozen look, it is better and safer, but expensive, to go for a nice colour and the have a Matt PPF film on it. Done by a skilled detailer it will look stunning and the PPF will protect it from small scratches etc.

Do dealers let you take the paint samples outdoors? Viewing them under artificial light doesn't tell you much. I once looked at identical vehicles, one in the showroom, the other parked outside, and I would have sworn they were different colors.

I change the colour of each new car I buy and try not to repeat the colours too frequently. The three colours you picked were my top 3 as well. It looks great in Silver but I went for the Polarised Grey as it looks a bit different to anything I've had before. I did Silver the car before my current iX.
