Oxford Green or Goodwood Green Pearl on G61 550e

Hi all,

I ordered my G61 550e in Oxford Green. I can still change the color and I'm second guessing myself, thinking that Goodwood Green Pearl might have a better overall appeal on the car...
My biggest fear is that the Oxford green will be less timeless and I'll enjoy it less in a few years than the Goodwood Green. I appreciate you guys' perspective!


For comparison.

Goodwood



Oxford





Bonus question!
Do you have rim advice? I'd prefer bronze / gold like rims.
Maybe like these (Variant Wheels Radon in matte bronze)?

Personally, I like the Oxford green better if that’s any help.

I don't see a wrong answer here but if it were me, from what I can tell from the photos, I'd go Oxford. Beautiful either way.

BRG was my first choice before I dove into the options. Tbh after comparing everything I consider goodwood green a slightly superior version of BRG.

Then I saw Oxford and kind of saw it as more or less BRG/goodwood out of the sun and something different, brighter, in the sun and found it interesting!

But now I'm debating if BRG/Goodwood is not just "classier" and more timeless.. life is hard when you can pick from all the colours ;-;

Goodwood will by classy in any era.

In full disclosure I have Verde British Racing which looks very similar to Goodwood.

Don't forget Isle of Man green! BMW has some great greens & blues - you can't go wrong.
Oxford green reminds me of nearly every E34, so if it's the same I'd try a different shade.

Oxford is probably the next best color after iomg. However more I see it, I actually really really like Oxford green.

Oxford is like the carbon black of green. Amazing in all lighting conditions.
