Had really bad luck with green colored cars. One was totaled and one was rear-ended but fixable. Love the color but will never get one again.

Those of you have OG ///M's:
1. Do you have any regrets?
-No regrets here. I've actually picked up a 911 since i bought my OG m3 and although it was impractical for me to keep the m3 after buying the 911, I knew that if i sold the m3...i'd one day be regreting that decision. So now the two are happy stable mates

2. Do you find it hard to mod with OG, and keeping the color scheme while getting the look you want?
-IMHO, just like everyone is saying....wheels, drop and call it a day. Personally, the only mods I have done to mine are 19" Work Rezax and led tails (since my car is a pre-2003.5)

3. Any problems keeping it clean under a normal(once/twice per week) washing schedule?
-Keeping it clean?....it basically falls under the same category as a black car, where you wash it and a couple hours later, it will be covered in dust. Nothing a California car duster wont be able to remove.

4. And any other opinions or facts you may wanna share....
-When I was first looking for an e46 ///M, I wanted white on imola red interior, but after seeing the OG on cinnamon, I was sold and never looked back. E46 M3's are a dime a dozen here in SoCal, but by having a slightly modded OG on cinnamon m3, i believe it sets me apart from the rest....

Here's how she sits today (sorry for the crappy phone pic)

I never saw an OG in person around Toronto area and have seen every other colour so I can say its very rare. I am not a fan of the dark green colour on any other car than the Jags. But I do own PY so I can say that driving a car with different colour is fun and rewarding in the sea of silver and black cars. I don't think there are any mod limitation to OG and would like to see one with csl trunk, vorsteiner hood, black rims, lowered, tints and etc...

Oxford Green on Cinnamon was the exact combination I was looking for, but it wasn't available with the ZCP package so I had to settle for Blue. I really wished BMW still had OG available when ZCP was released.

1. Do you have any regrets?
None here, when I first started looking for an M3 I wanted a lighter color because I've always had dark colored cars but after seeing OG/Cinnamon I knew that was the one I wanted.

2. Do you find it hard to mod with OG, and keeping the color scheme while getting the look you want?
I really haven't done any mods to it yet, I will say if you are looking for color matched parts they're a pain to find. Like the others of said, you don't have to do much with it to make it look good.

3. Any problems keeping it clean under a normal(once/twice per week) washing schedule?
Have to treat it the same as a black car, when it's clean it looks good but it's hard to keep it that way for long, especially if you DD it.

4. And any other opinions or facts you may wanna share....
When I was first looking for an M3 I was leaning towards IR or AW on cinnamon because they seemed like the two colors you could do the most with in terms of appearance mods. When I saw OG, it jumped to the top of my list in terms of color preference because of rarity and I thought it looked extremely sharp. I told myself I've give it 6 months to find one and then I'd go with the other colors but got lucky and found on in ~2 months. I am more than happy with my decision and plan to keep it until it doesn't drive anymore.

I kind like OG as a color. Who is the guy on here with the super modded one with the orange front turn signals? One of my favorites for sure.
