C2P Atlas Cedar - new color for the X5?

[1230vani]

Anyone know what is this color, looked online now and could not find it. Thanks a lot

[1230vani]

This is a new color for the X5 as per MY 2017 pricelist (for Europe). I hope to get an image from dealer configurator tomorrow.

So a blue-ish green I'd assume?

Nice. There are too many M Sports driving around in the same damn colours. Every time I see one, they're 90% white.

i am old enough to remember that white was typically a rent-a-car color because it was the a zero cost color... generally speaking since the great recession white has been the popular choice. before that silver was king, black and grey typically battled for second place but as of 2014 moving forward autumnal shades and blues have gained popularity.

It replaces mineral silver and is similar. Very slightly more brown.

That's because it looks amazing in white

It looks like Dakota grey for Audi

When I held that sample out of direct sunlight it showed indeed like Dakota grey but when held more in light it showed more like Atlasgrey from Audi ... In normal daylight conditions it's somewhere inbetween

just as I was hoping, to me it seems that Atlas cedar is the color used on this BMW concept car years ago:

The sample showed the same variations depending on how much light it captured.. same as how the color changes in that video depending on how the camera captures sunlight / shadows.

I think they look "OK" in white. My father's F15 is Mineral White, and he said he'd never get it again.

From when is it replacing Mineral Silver....?

Mineral Silver is still showing on BMW-UK configurator, and is the colour I was going to go with should I order a X5 in the coming months.

Will be really pi$$ed if it has been dropped...as this one doesn't look 'more brown' than mineral.......looks more like a metallic grey...???

I can't speak to UK configurations but I doubt that they would hold over a colour at the factory for 1 particular market.

See first bullet point under optional equipment here:

I'm not sure the video is a good reflection of the colour. Did you look at this link?

It looks like it has some olive in it. I do not like the color as shown on my screen. I would definitely need to see in person.

I might get to my dealer store in a few days to compare it directly with the sample of Atlas Cedar (I posted earlier on this forum) and my space grey 5-series. When I do I'll post some pictures!

PS: I have an order for my X5 in Atlas Cedar color. Production is scheduled in September, delivery October (Shipping to Belgium). I confirmed my order after seeing the samples at my BMW dealer, totally convinced of the color Still will be a surprise-effect when picking it up

Agree!

Comparing Atlas Cedar with my Space Grey 5-series and a mineral silver X3 (2 last photo's) parked next to it (just perfect because Atlas Cedar replaces the mineral silver color option)

[iconoclast]

Looks like there is a brownish-green hue to it. Looking at those photos above it reminds me of Ipanema Sand found on RR.

Old Saab sun green like in the second third pics

That was an awesome color.
