If I were fortunate to have a choice it would be Green every time. What would your preference be Gee?

These are the best two colours in my opinion, However it has to be the Green

Green is the runaway leader so far and it’s a beautiful colour, but for some balance the “blue” does give you a two-for-one deal...

My B3S is blue and in certain lights it 'sparkles' and I love it, however the green is special. if buying now I'm not sure which one I would go for, quite probably the green as I've already had a blue one.

Green is 10x more differentiated from normal BMW colours than the blue is.

Love both but green might just edge it for me.
Especially this one.

Isn't your B3S the Lambo Hera Blue car Steve? That's an epic colour too. 8)

Hence why I ordered my D3 S in Alpina Green. But were green not on the palette, it would be Alpina Blue for me.
