BMW M5 Looks Amazing in Special Edition Bright Green
BMW’s latest promotional video shows an M5 wearing the Individual Special Paint Java Green metallic finish.
Green is still the least popular paint color in the industry despite brown and beige still existing. Nothing has killed interesting car colors like people being concerned with resale value in our current world of leasing and trading in early. Kelley Blue Book tells us that chromatic colors like yellow, orange and purple could put you at a disadvantage when it comes to resale. Playing it safe means going for Suburban Soccer Mom White, Traveling Salesman Silver, and Still Cool Dad Black. But whether you’re a soccer mom, traveling salesman or a dad hitting the mid-life crisis, a BMW M5 car begs for a standout color.
BMW’s M Division has a long history of awesome and outstanding colors. The ones that roll off the top of our heads are the ones named after racetracks. Laguna Seca Blue, Imola Red, Dakar Yellow, Le Mans Blue, Silverstone Metallic, and Sebring Grey Metallic are colors named after tracks BMW racing has a history with. Currently, you can get your BMW M5 in Singapore Gray Metallic and Donington Gray Metallic if you want a racetrack homage.
However, if those and the other colors offered on the BMW configurator aren’t to your liking, and you can find a dealer willing to go to the trouble while you pay for it, you could go for BMW’s spectacular Java Green Metallic like this one featured on BMW M’s YouTube channel. As far as we can tell though, Java Green Metallic is named after unripe coffee beans.
Being the least popular color for a car, green is about as standout as it gets on the road. But if the Java Green Metallic doesn’t quite whet the appetite for audacity enough, then BMW also offers the even brighter Signal Green or the more muted Urban Green.
