I don't think its a popular colour as I have only ever seen one on the road. I would not personally choose it as I think the car will trade in at a lower figure later on down the line. It is personal choice at the end of the day but when you're talking E60 money it pays to think ahead and get a popular colour just like they say leather and auto is a must for a good future part ex.

I think its a cool color. I have only seen one & its was very unique. For me, it was my second choice behind Alpine with Auburn. I don't really care for the lighter tan interior, albeit I think it goes well with Olivin. Ultimately, choose the color you enjoy.

I got the olivin green because I wanted the auburn interior, and they offered that with only a few exterior colors.

The olivin is much less common and what I like about the car, the features and now the color is that I'm not just one of the pack with a color that everyone else has.

It's great! If Truffle Brown was available with olivin green it would be in my garage right now. When you see it in person, you just fall in love with in. It looks like a million dollars/Euros.

Was at dealer's last year when I put my E39 into the workshop and saw the E60 in Olivin and it was love at first sight

I remembered murmuring to myself that it would be THE COLOUR when I order my E60!

Couple of months later, I needed to get rid of the E39 quickly and when I approach the sales guy, he told me only 2 units left ex-stock or wait for next batch 3-4 months later - of the 2 he has a Mystic Blue and a Olivin Green.

So here it is..... my year old toddler
