Is this correct? Looking at a car that is 300miles away so trying to clarify all details before I go to view. Have been told it is artic grey or arctic grey whatever they call it. Have been told that this has a grey or blueish tinge depending on light. But never really looks green. Is this correct? If so why is it green on v5 and hpi? Anyone know the colour? I can't seem to visualise it.

Many thanks.

Bearing in mind that Grey is right next to Green on a drop down menu, I'm guessing it's your standard DVLA cock up smile

Round Judd Street London, opposite a pub called The Boot there is regularly a BMW M3 parked up, in what I swear is 70's green plastic bathroom gone murky, you can only tell close up that it has a greenish tinge, it's a post 05 as well.

Really!?

I will ask for a colour code and clarify with the seller.

Is it an E39 by any chance?

Glacier Green is a very silvery colour with the typical silver hues in addition to the smattering of green.

Yes have seen this on several Arctic Silver 3 series we have had in stock, it does look green in fairness.

Does it really? This may be enough to put me off. Will go and see one locally if I can.
