iX1 in Cape York Green ?

MontyB1 · 08-08-2022, 06:06 AM

Just saw these for those considering the new colour, assuming that is this is the colour, which I suspect it is..

Finally, one in the wild. My wife just ordered this color along with the red/black leather

MontyB1 · 08-12-2022, 08:35 AM

And another now!

MontyB1 · 08-16-2022, 10:09 AM

And a few more with different light conditions out in the open.

This color looks incredible wish an X line would leak. Personally I do not love the m sport styling on this one, I think it mutes the character of the car.

The best looking new BMW in a very long time, of course we don't get the EV variant in the states though!

I like this a lot more than I thought I would! I'm still mulling over frozen grey. It looks so good but not sure I want to pay the $ and deal with the extra care it needs. Too bad you can't get San Remo Green in M-Sport. I saw that in person on an I4-M50 and loved it.

I did look at frozen grey but frankly I am less a fan of the M sport looks vs X line on this, I think the silver accent pieces really accentuate the character of this vehicle along with the grey painted "cladding" on it. Maintenance again too, I did not want to deal with a matte special paint, I already am uptight about my Oyster interior and how prone to dirt that will be.

I'm so excited for our San Remo green with mocha interior. Thought briefly about switching to Cape York green, but very glad I didn't.

I considered it myself, its a very nice color, just couldn't justify it over Cape York, I always leaned toward lighter colors and this was something unique from every other cars equivalent storm bay blue grey which would've been my other choice.

San Remo to me looks a lot like Mini's British Racing Green, which is a great color.

I'm going with Utah Orange / Mocha.

It seems silly, but a fairly big reason we canceled our Buick Envision order was their very limited color palette. We had to choose blue with beige. We're suckers for a brown interior though.
Utah Orange and mocha will be like driving a sunset every day. 😁

Yeah I'm the opposite, never been a fan of chrome trim. Every BMW I've owned has been M or M-Sport with shadowline.

That said, I like the X Line on this more than any other BMW, so I'm still on the fence with San Remo.

Can't wait for more pics in the wild when they start rolling in!

I have to agree I feel that San Reno excels at being a sportier aesthetic over the X line with it. At least in my eyes.
