My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
I emailed Lomag with pictures of my car because I am the first deep green e60. I actually love the color. Am I crazy? Have bad taste? Color blind? Why does no one else like this color?
BTW the only after market option I was going to add was the e60 site decals, but my wife lost them.
or :thumbsdown: or 
Anyway - go under the information page and look at exterior colors and then the A43 deep green one is mine mine mine mine mine!
I will get better pictures. Just learning how to a digital camera. But the color in the pictures is the exact color the car is. On the Website the car looks almost Kelly Green - which I was afraid my car was going to look like.

I am not against the deep green color, I don't know why it is not all that popular, I like it. Do I like it as much as black? No, but still a great looking color.
How about a link to your pics?

I would have got it maybe 10 years ago, when all the green colors were more in style. But I have to say this color looks pretty nice on the E60. Good Luck with your beautiful car!!!

My Ride: 2013 535i (White with Oyster Interior. Premium Package, Navigation, Technology Pacakge, Park Distance Control, and Rear View Camera)
Yeah, I remember dark green color was really popular in early 90s. I almost bought a dark green car, but the dealer want to charge me $500 extra for dark green over black for the same model, so I picked black instead.

Dude, the car looks great. Makes me wish I had ordered that color myself. And your baby is really clean despite the outdoor weather. Congrats on a great decision. You own a fabulous car in a great (not often seen) color. Big ups!

I think your deep green car looks superb. Is it the same as the previous Oxford Green? 
I personally won't go for a dark colour again as I found with the UK weather that my Titanium Grey looked filthy most of the time as I just didn't have the time, with three small children, to keep cleaning it, hence going for a light colour the second time.

no - it is darker
less green more black
the car - she is not so clean anymore - been parked outside for two days in the snow and salt
BUT - i have the day off tomorrow - so she is going to get her first bath
possibly a wax - depends on the temp in the garage
