Vermont Bronze

JD6 · 10-24-2018, 01:20 PM

I quite like it, but then I had my X5 in Kalahari Beige like this one

Steve_M_Sport · 10-24-2018, 01:58 PM

I love Sepang Bronze and very nearly bought a Z4MC a few years ago but it had a white vinyl wrap over it and I was worried what the paintwork was like underneath.

Need to see it in the flesh in sunlight but that impression looks like camel dung.

A freaking brown.

BMW are obsessed with the colour of cack.

I assume brown pigments are really cheap!

Saluki Bronze.
I think that was the name of the colour you are referring to.

Yup. Saluki bronze. How trends turn around, but makes the car look like a beached whale.

I am very disappointed with the colour chart on the G20 configurator.
Couldn’t BMW have introduced more new colours besides Vermont Bronze
for the Sport model ?
Most of the colours will be at least 7 years old by the time the new 3 is
launched.

On the configurator.
Any thoughts about this colour ?https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/at...8;d=1540373000

At least the Sport line has some more colours to chose from... M Sport is Black, White, Grey, Blue or Orange...

The blue is quite nice.

RobUK · 10-25-2018, 03:37 PM

Anyone call for brown?

The blue is quite nice.

But you are really stuck if you prefer a light colour, then it's simply white or mineral white...

True.
BMW offer too many dark and I mean dark colours.

I saw a G20 on the road today in Vermont Bronze. It was the first time I had actually seen this colour.
Not a pretty sight.

Brown is really a crap colour. It is bearable when shining. Horrible when dirty.

frazervalley · 12-25-2019, 06:42 PM

This is sure to make me popular on this thread.

I was looking to buy another car and was driving around an automall. (A business park made up of car dealerships that you can drive around in and check out the cars). Bright sunny day. A certain colour caught my eye, but I did not know what the car was as other cars blocked my view. I walked over and it was a 3 series BMW. I loved the colour. Upon close inspection, I could see red and green metallic flakes in the paint which gave the colour a sparkling effect. The colour was Sparkling Bronze metallic. It does appear brown on cloudy days, but to my eyes it comes alive when the sun shines. I have had many people comment on how much they like the colour. To my eye, it looks understated, but classy.
