So firstly no pics as I was driving and by the time I’d parked it was gone…but Sainsburys petrol station in Fareham Hants there was a Turkish Green Zed with a red roof ! Sounds like it wouldn’t work..but it actually looked great.
What’s the oddest exterior/interior/roof combo you’ve seen ?

Can’t imagine many people would be brave enough to spec one like that from new. Did you see what colour interior was?

Unfortunately not no…wonder if that was red as well.

There are rumours of a 'frozen green' (matt green) G29 Z4 with a '1970s brown' interior being sold new for just £70k with a manual gearbox. It's only £5k more than an automatic (that's a new one on me).

Sounds like the world's most expensive 'lime eclair' sweet from the 80s.

If you look at colour theory (see Color Theory ) you'll see that red/green are complimentary colours (see image below) and in fact it's a good choice


Whilst researching BMW Turkish Green, I found this car Turquoise Green BMW Z3
Seats are a darker shade of green, called Evergreen ~ it looks nice

Actually I have a red roof on a Boston Green Z3 and if I put a white bonnet stripe down the middle of the hood, roof and boot it would be very Italian. =)) (where's the contradiction in that?) Obviously the intention was to respray it but as I managed to get a matching Boston Green one I'm now selling it £400.
