First In the Metal Photo's-2017 Model Year-Chestnut Bronze Metallic Exterior Paint

First in the metal photo's of the 2017 Model Year F25 X3 all new Chestnut Bronze Metallic exterior paint color. A little cloudy/overcast...but you gotta catch'em when you can. Color wears well on the X3. Enjoy and thanks. PalBay

Well, I can't say it's my cup of tea, but looks decent nonetheless

It's certainly striking .. Not totally sure what to make of it really ... It's fairly horrid yet strangely appealing !

Reminds me of a Saab 900 turbo years ago that was in a dealers window ... For about two years !!

Used to drive past the Saab dealer daily and actually missed it when it went eventually


The X3 seems to have new style wheels on it though

Can't see it being popular in the UK apart from the country set of "retired colonel" types ... Personally, pretty horrible colour.

Yeah me either. Reminds me of saddle brown interior I hate that everyone loves.

I wish they would offer some of the individual colours that they do for the 3 series

Yes the X3 colour palette is a little bland to say the least, nice to see Melbourne Red arrive last year but could do with a couple more vibrant colours for that sporty look.
