Yes, I have one in malachite green. Attached a few pictures.

I have it ceramic coated directly at the dealer and for me its a wonderful colour.

You can´t see any dirt and with the ceramic coating its very easy to keep clean.

May I ask which malachite green color code this is? 205 or P85?

For shure. It is 205.

Thank you. Really nice spec!

I wanted to order that Cognac color interior .... UNTIL ....I saw it in person. It was way too "orange" for me. In fact so orange that several employees at the dealership began calling it the "Halloween Car". Probably because of the many black interior pieces, like the dash, combined with the Cognac.

Instead, I went with the Mocha interior with a Mineral White exterior.

I would have preferred a better or "truer" tan color interior but Cognac was a non-starter for me once I saw it in person.

Same, too orange for my taste.

I wish BMW offered a closer to Tan option instead of Cognac. Something along the lines of Tartufo shown earlier in the thread.

Finally given her a summer clean…now in my possession, love the colour combo

JonasM40i · 05-07-2024, 12:08 PM

Congrats. In my opinion one of the best colours which you can pick for the X3. Would always pick it again!

Red is my favorite interior color. I liked it in my F31.

But not with green paint. That’s too Christmas-y for me.

If I were to order the green, I would probably specify mocha or black interior.

It’s cognac mate 😉

Think a cognac interior goes well with both Brooklyn Grey or any deep/dark green…..I especially like the urban green!

Keefy · 05-07-2024, 02:15 PM

Think I’d struggle to choose between these 2.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. My F31 had Tacora Red. It would be my first choice for an interior color—except with that green exterior.

I definitely prefer the bottom one. The top one is bit too ‘70s-adjacent.

But if the dealer wanted to sell me the top one at cost…

Defo Malachite for me, with X3M seats in contrasting Midrand Merino Leather/Alcantara.

Can’t make my mind up about Cognac, in that I want to like it, but it’s a bit too orange for my taste. Would have preferred BMW to offer a more natural Tan option.
