Dark Olive or Terra Brown pics

Has anyone taken delivery of an G01 X3 non M package in either Dark Olive or Terra Brown? I would love to see pics. between those 2 and Phytonic blue, but it seems most of you are ordering that (less selections with M packages) I am looking at a 30i with either X-Line or Luxury.

Also, the F25 forum has its own forum for Pics/Videos. Is there not a Pict board for G01 like F25? I found the post i made the day i took delivery of my F25... would like to post one again if I get a G01

I saw that, was hoping that would change as more G01's get out there. I had to remind myself it hasn't really been out that long.

my dealer's demo i test drove is Terra Brown so that I can see. hoping someone else gets Olive and posts pics, or maybe i would be the first. hate to order a color i don't like though

Luxury... I like the extra chrome pieces in the front and back.

I've done shades of white to black and wanted something different. I think Terra looks sharp and classy.

caeguy what interior did you pair it with? was thinking cognac, canberra beige or mocha - is mocha+terra brown too much brown? my F25 has Mojave brown and I love it - but exterior is blue. prefer to avoid black interior

I went with Mocha with the Terra. I think it works well. I like the lighter color interiors but they get dirty and stained by blue jeans easily. I think its not too much since you still have the black as an offset/contrast color.

We settled for a black Vernasca/black Sapphire that was in the dealer pipeline but mocha is really growing on me. If they offered the Terra in an m-sport layout your combo would be killer!

caeguy Leaning towards same combo as you. If you happen to want to help my cause, would love to see a pic or 2 of yours inside, or perhaps outside looking in with door open so i can see the exterior and interior together.

can't decide on Olive or not, but I def like Terra so I'm more likely to go with that. I like the blue but I have 2011 F25 Deep Sea Blue and I don't want a repeat.

only other color on table for me is the glacier silver which looks sharp, but i think it goes best with black or Oyster interior which I don't want.

that being said, Terra + Mocha combo is top choice now, would love to see yours.

Thanks!

my dealer has an X6 in Dark Olive on the lot. pictures don't do it justice - its really pretty - thinking Dark Olive w/ Mocha interior is the way to go. 30i X line Exec pkg. need to decide on a few more options.

I really like the Dark Olive, but I didn't lease and I can see getting tired of it after a few years, and maybe resale being less. But it's different, which is nice.

I am probably keeping this X3 a little less time - kept my F25 for 6.5 years, bit long for maintenance. I pay my house off in less than 4, would like to thing when that happens i will replace this and definitely be able to afford my way back into 40i or whatever BMW numbers the larger engine at that time. haven't ruled out leasing either.

Here you go... I took some pictures outside but the interior color wasn't realistic. These pictures are more true to life.

Here you have some samples of a Terra Braun unit from a Spanish review. Love this color, actually it is my choice but with the 21" 726 wheels, as these standard 19"s are quite ugly...
