Does BMW actually offer the color in some countries, or, do they send the car to Honda? After searching the BMW global site, I found Tahiti Green, Oxford Green and Deep Green.

honestly i thought that color was VW color 5-6 years back, but if you want that color you'll need to go to a paint shop..

Makes sense, thought the color a bit 'loud' for BMW.

Tahiti green has more blue in it… this appears to be something non-standard.
