Terra Brown Metallic has arrived

John Casey · 07-17-2018, 11:55 AM

Here it is…our new terra brown metallic with cognac interior (and a few other goodies, like convenience and premium packages). We think the color combo is great and have been enjoying the new X3.

The terra brown metallic really comes to life in the sunlight. In the shade it appears to be a dark brown, which is also really nice.

Thanks. Yes, we like that BMW ordering process.

Jayf30 · 07-17-2018, 12:51 PM

Very nice color, I also have the cognac interior and love it. Congrats!

bmtespar · 07-17-2018, 02:23 PM

Great color combo. I only saw one of these in months of research in person and loved the color. Congrats on your new ride and for picking something a little more different than everyone one else.

Ragnarkov · 07-17-2018, 03:10 PM

Definitely not the usual exterior color. Very nice.

Congrats!

Thanks. I was originally going to go with the mocha interior, but so glad we went with cognac because the light and darker browns compliment well. I saw the olive green at BMW UDE and it is a nice color too, but a little more subtle. I like the way the terra brown shines in the sunlight.

Nice color!

PS. Where were those pics taken? Looks like Park City/Deer Valley area.

Nice to see this color, I guess it will not be the most ordered color. It looks pretty cool , not my taste but a very sparkling color.

Myk-D · 07-18-2018, 04:51 AM

Love this colour. Well done for not going with the (blue) herd

comber · 07-18-2018, 05:05 AM

Nice one... I am waiting for mine with same combo Terra Braun-Cognac, but luxury with 21" wheels

You know the area...it's a fun drive over the Wasatch Mountains.

Thank you all. Brown was top priority for the girlfriend...it's for her. I was hoping blue would be acceptable so that we could get the M Sport package, but no. In the end, I'm happy with the choice. The brown is a nice color that is not common (with being uncommon a good thing in this case).

21" wheels will really help to fill-out those wheel wells. We went with the 19" RFTs (to avoid the cargo area bump). My biggest complaint in the wheel area is the black trim around the wheel wells. I'm glad that it's not too noticeable with the terra brown metallic color.

Yes we get it in U.K. as well but not on M Sport or M40i/d models

Yeah, no M Sport with the Terra Brown Metallic.

But we are happy with it even without the M Sport.

DavidLE46/F36 · 08-06-2018, 07:06 PM

Totally agree! Very unique and sharp looking
