It is a nice color but a bit dated. This metallic hunter green was very popular in the mid 90's but waned. I'd get it again but I'd be prepared for ridicule from my friends.

While that is true, I still think it is a nice color, it won't be as common as all the blacks, whites and silvers out there, yet it wont attract law enforcement attention like the reds and montego blue.

It's rare, and looks pretty good to my eye. Definitely unique.

If youre having to ask other peoples opinions of a colour then you must have reservations about the colour yourself -in that case i would not get it. The only time i would get a less popular colour is if i absolutely loved it. There is a reason tazman green is a rare colour.............

Exterior and Interior colors are a matter of personal preference.

You will find some people who like 'Tasman' Green and some who don't like it.
Personally, I like it (but only with Beige or Oyster/Black Interior).

Get what you like, you should not worry about others opinions, BMW has had it for years and it is still there for a reason.

Good luck deciding.

Although not a color I would pick for myself, I still think it is a pretty nice color, and it is also conservative.

i think it's a great color. Sure beats all the silvers, greys and whites on the road. looks a lot better in person than the bmw website configurator. I'd get that color with black interior.

Thought it was "Tasman" Green. Very nice color. Uncommon.

I don't think its a bad color. Interestingly enough, green gets significantly lower bids on the auction block.

I think the Tasman Green color makes a statement of quiet dignity. The color is perfect for a man of my age--over 60. I plan to order a Tasman Greeen 335d through european delivery in the fall of 2011.

+1. Get what YOU like. You will have to stare at your decison everyday. If you saw the car in person and are still thinking about it then forget it; you don't love it.

I hope not...I'm male and only 38! Was prepared to go with black or space gray but found this on the lot. Tasman Green/beige leather...it's a great combo but does show dirt. The best part is that I don't see any others on the road...far too many black, dark blue and white running around.

not feeling it, i know blacks, whites and silver are common but the green looks boring imo. if you wanted something different what about blue water? (i know let the flaming begin )
