As M GmbH is want to do on social media, the BMW performance division has shared another great color from its BMW Individual color pallet. Frozen Urban Green Solid (frozenurbangrün; non metallic UNI; P9Y; BMW) is BMW speak for matte Urban Green non-metallic, and man does it look good on an M3 Touring.
Okay, fair question one can’t answer. Does anything look bad on an M3 Touring? Probably not, but still this does look good. Military-like greens have been a popular choice these last few years from German carmakers, and Urban Green in matte solid is particularly military-looking.
What: 2022 BMW X7 xDrive 40i Color: BMW Individual Verde Ermes Pearl Metallic (pearl effect; P7T; BMW) VIN: 5UXCW2C06N9K63484 Mileage: 46,714 miles Price: $54,900 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Bridgeport, CT Listing:Skedaddle Cars
Tailored Driver is about pushing boundaries, and this X7 does exactly that in more ways than one. BMW Individual Verde Ermes Pearl Effect is one shade we’re not certain we’ve seen before, but we certainly think it was a big bet that paid off for the original Tailor. It’s also helped to push our own boundaries by inspiring a deep dive into Verde Ermes in hopes of learning more. While that search is still very much ongoing, we can say that the color seems to have first appeared on the facelifted F90 M5 Competition with BMW USA ordering at least one of their Press cars in the hue. Since, we’ve seen images of it on the i4, G80 generation M3, and a few other models in BMW’s range- all with stunning results.
Vintage colors and numerous design details capture the charm of the historic G-Class

Mercedes-Benz delights G-Class enthusiasts with the new highly exclusive G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s. With a compelling blend of historic colors, exclusive design elements and equipment details from the legendary 280 GE, it captures the magic of the off-road legend’s origins. The special model pays tribute to the first G-Class model series (W 460), which first captured people’s hearts in the 1980s with its unique combination of on- and off-road capability and laid the foundation for the unrivaled success and cult status of the iconic “Geländewagen.” Strictly limited to 460 units globally, the G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s arrives at select U.S. dealerships later in 2025.
Historic colors and design elements
The limited G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s fuses the modern technology and comfort of a 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550 with the charm and aesthetics of a heritage model. Customers can choose between three nostalgic paint finishes, which were among the first paint options for the G-Class.
MANUFAKTUR Agave Green: The earthy green radiates robustness and closeness to nature and emphasizes the outstanding off-road capability of the G-Class.
MANUFAKTUR Cream: The classic and timeless color exudes a touch of elegance and sophistication and was a popular choice among customers who primarily used the G-Class for city driving.
MANUFAKTUR Colorado Beige: The warm, sandy hue conveys a sense of adventure and freedom and emphasizes the versatile character of the G-Class.
Prominent amber indicator lights above each headlight also provide a vintage touch. To round off the vintage styling, the complete front fascia, radiator grille, brush guard, underguard, front and rear bumpers, side sills, flared wheel arches and exterior mirror housings are finished in MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno, echoing the rugged look of the first G-Class. Classic 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels in silver provide a striking contrast.
The Mercedes star on the hood employs the design of the historic emblem, featuring the Mercedes-Benz laurel wreath and lettering on a blue background. The tailgate door also features a unique design element paying tribute to the 1980s – the silver brand badge featuring black “Mercedes-Benz” lettering – and an edition-specific spare wheel cover.
Select equipment details from the PROFESSIONAL Line Exterior contribute to the powerful off-road appearance, including PROFESSIONAL mud flaps and all-terrain tires. Vehicles finished in MANUFAKTUR Agave Green are also fitted with the PROFESSIONAL roof rack.
The MANUFAKTUR Logo Package in black, which features black door handles with an embossed “G” logo, further exemplifies the attention to detail. A projection below the exterior mirrors welcomes the driver and front passenger with “G – STRONGER THAN TIME” illuminated alongside the vehicle.
Dove Grey fabric seat inserts and 1980s-style “Schöckl Proved” badge
The interior of the G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s also highlights unique elements in homage to the early days of the off-road icon. The seat inserts of the black leather seats are upholstered with Dove Grey fabric that was highly popular at the time. “STRONGER THAN THE 1980s” branding is incorporated into the front passenger grab handle. The front door sill panels feature the topography of Schöckl mountain near Graz, showcasing the test track where the G-Class has proven its exceptional off-road capabilities since 1979. The traditional “Schöckl Proved” badge at the base of the B-pillar is designed in a classic 1980s style, displaying a heritage G-Class model in the respective vehicle color. A “1 of 460” badge adorns the center console of each vehicle, which underscores the exclusivity of this special model.

What: 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Color: Paint to Sample Racing Green Metallic(racinggrünmetallic; metallic UNI; Y68; Porsche) VIN: WP0AE2A82PS280816 Mileage: 632 miles Price: $239,991 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Warrington, PA Dealer Listing:Porsche Warrington
To those Tailored Driver fans who see this 718 Cayman GT4 RS and immediately think “Aston”- you’re not wrong. Porsche’s Racing Green Metallic is “Ice Ice Baby” to Aston’s “Under Pressure”, which is to say it’s nearly the same, and for good reason. It’s clear to us that Racing Green is a hue with no edits required, and in this case transforming the stiff, no-nonsense weapon that is a GT4 RS into a weekend cruiser that may warrant brown leather driving gloves. Best described as incredibly tasteful, this Tailored Driver will continue to command the right kind of attention regardless of where colors trend in the future. Is that kind of staying power worth the $239,991 price of admission? We think it just may be.
Sort of the opposite of that line from Field of Dreams, McLaren Special Operations exists in a world of If you come we will build it. Understandably, this can take the form of an infinite number of different Tailored Drivers, so it makes our life a bit more difficult. Take this Satin Urban Green 765LT for example- we simply can’t find a color code, nor can we find another example of MSO painting a car this color. Search after search only returns this exact car wearing different wheels. Now, we can surmise that MSO borrowed an existing color, likely BMW’s Urban Green, and applied it lovingly with a satin clear final stage, and called it a day. If that is indeed the case, then paint code goes from unknown to a variation of the “YA04” that we’ve seen before and is linked above.
So here we are, exactly where we find ourselves with many McLaren finds, wondering what the precise code is. It’s admittedly at times a frustrating endeavor, but as Tailored Driver grows we want to catalog and feature builds such as these to provide equal parts reference and inspiration. For now, place this MSO build in that bucket. We can’t wait to see how you interpret it with your very own Tailored Driver.
What: 2018 Volvo V90 T5 R Design Color: Black Olive (schwarzolive; non-metallic Uni; 2A7; Porsche) VIN: N/A Mileage: 90,311 miles Price: $29,900 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: Lake Forest, CA Link: Facebook Marketplace
We don’t typically feature repainted cars on this site, because the technical focus is the factory tailors or the remasters. Still, every once in a while, a redone car comes along that captures our attention. This Volvo V90 in Porsche Black Olive seems to qualify.
When it comes to Volvo, we’re pretty sure they don’t have a factory tailor program. Back in the P2 S60R / V70R era, I’d inquired if one could deviate from their standard R colors wanting a simple white that would have still stood out from the few colors offered. The answer was that something like this was possible so long as the color was offered in Europe. Whether that still holds today I don’t know, but the V70R wasn’t offered in white in Europe either.
It’s safe to say that Europe also doesn’t offer Porsche paint colors. Even still, Porsche Black Olive is an excellent color that looks incredible on a Volvo V90. Beyond that, the listing says it was taken down to the shell with all panels and glass removed before the repaint. Photos of the whole process were taken and can be provided.
Inside, the owner added “Porsche tartan” plaid to the seats as well.
Worth noting, the car has some aftermarket parts on it including wheels, Maxton body kit and rear spoiler, an upgraded audio system and more. If you’re seeking bone stock or OEM condition then this may not be your car. That said, if you’re seeking a very unique long roof, we suspect you’ll be very interested in this one.
What: 2024 Ferrari 296 GTS Color:Verde Medio(verdemedio; metallic UNI; 19400 M; Ferrari) VIN: ZFF01SMA6R0300684 Mileage: 41 Price: $485,611 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Ferrari San Diego, San Diego, CA Listing:Ferrari San Diego
Unexpected and tasteful may be the perfect storm when it comes to a fine tailored car. Take this 2024 Ferrari 296 GTS that’s in stock at Ferrari San Diego. Though a Ferrari color, Verde Medio Metallic is a medium green not far off from Aston Martin Racing Green.
Okay, perhaps a 296 GTS, even one costing $485,611 may be a bit less legendary than the three cars listed above, but this is still a phenomenal specification. Verde Medio looks amazing with the light Pelle Bianco leather. The whole car look just works, so we dedicate a golf clap to whomever created the specification… and we’re left scratching our head how one might add such a car to their garage and only log 41 miles. Whatever, that’s more miles for the next owner I suppose.
What: 1996 BMW M3 Cabriolet Color: BMW Individual Glacier Green Metallic(metallic UNI; 335; BMW) VIN: Unknown Mileage: 18,500 km Price: € 119,950 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: Driving Passion, s’-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands Dealer Listing:Link
Yes, you read that right. An E36 M3 Cabriolet is six figures, and not just six figure but six figures in Euros. Is it worth it? Well, like many cars of this nature, if you have to ask then you likely aren’t in the running for it. Even still, we think it might be and here’s why.
First, it’s a poster child for BMW Individual. On the outside is subtle yet different Glacier Green Metallic, an ever-so-slightly tinted silver. Inside, it’s got extended Hazelnut Nappa nappa leather that would have had to have been special ordered.
Beyond that, the car has many options for the period, including seat heating, dual climate control, electric exterior mirrors, automatically dimming interior mirror and multi-function display.
There’s one more thing. The car has just 18,500 km on the odometer (11,495 miles), and presents in the photos as if new.
Yes, as perhaps the most subtle of the M3 lineage, we know the E36 isn’t the most desirable M3. To our eye, that only makes it desirable in its understatement… in the way a 964 Carrera RS sort of looks like any other Carrera 2 of its time. This was the standard operating procedure in the 1990s, and this M3 Cabriolet pulls it all off beautifully.
What: 2025 BMW M2 Color: BMW Individual Java Green Metallic II (javagruen; metallic uni; P7V/6; BMW) VIN: N/A Mileage: Delivery Miles Price: $84,474 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: BMW of Morristown, Morristown, NJ Dealer Listing:Link
We’re always, and I mean ALWAYS appreciative when enthusiast sales staff at dealerships give fellow enthusiasts a heads up when a special car comes into inventory. In this case, it’s a nicely optioned BMW Individual M2 in Java Green Metallic that’s on the showroom floor at the dealership as we speak.
So, you can go to the listing link (above) or check out Valdrin Ferati’s post shared on Facebook HERE along with real world shots of the car versus the CGI renderings in the dealer listing.
Bentley enthusiast Mark King receives his Bentayga Apex Edition by Mulliner, in full Le Mans Collection trim and livery
This option only offered to owners of limited edition Le Mans Collection Continental GT or GT Convertible
Both vehicles feature exterior in Verdant green with Le Mans style racing stripe in Moonbeam
Interior features include Beluga hide and Dinamica fabric seat faces with contrast seat stitching in Hotspur
Apex Edition Bentayga based on 550 PS 4.0-litre S V8 with Bentley Dynamic Ride and rear-wheel steering
Special Apex Edition features include 22” carbon wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes and carbon body kit
Le Mans Collection Continental GT created to mark 20th anniversary of Bentley’s sixth victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
[source: Bentley]
Crewe, England – A long-term Bentley enthusiast and collector, Mark King, has taken delivery of a very special Bentayga – the latest addition to an extensive Bentley stable. His Apex Edition Bentayga is one of just 20 handcrafted examples by Mulliner worldwide, finished in the same livery and trim as his 2023 Le Mans Collection Continental GT – itself created to mark 20 years since Bentley’s return to victory at Le Mans in 2003 after a 73-year absence from the top step of the podium.
While the Apex Edition Bentayga was also offered in six curated colour and trim themes, the Verdant green and Moonbeam livery of Mr King’s Apex Edition Bentayga was only offered to existing Le Mans Collection owners.
A thoroughbred stable
Mr King, who is based in Northern Ireland, follows a family tradition as a passionate and knowledgeable collector of high-performance vehicles. His new Apex Edition Bentayga joins a garage that holds a Bentayga Speed, a rare Continental GT3-R and a Continental Flying Spur, all of which he uses regularly. A Bentley owner since 2010 and regular attendee at Bentley’s exclusive owner events, he leapt at the opportunity to commission a Le Mans Collection Continental GT in 2023 and needed no encouragement to add the Apex Edition Bentayga in full Le Mans livery when it was announced. His existing Bentayga Speed has covered over 100,000 miles in his ownership and is often pressed into action to trailer other vehicles from his extensive collection.
The Apex Edition Bentayga
The Apex Edition Bentayga is based on the Bentayga S, the sporting flagship of Bentley’s SUV line-up. Its 4.0-litre, twin-scroll turbocharged V8 petrol engine develops 542 bhp (550 PS) and 568 lb.ft. (770 Nm) of torque, giving a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.5 secs) and a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti-roll control and rear-wheel steering deliver agile handling with minimal roll, while the V8’s exhilarating snarl is enhanced by a free-flowing sports exhaust.
The Apex Edition takes the performance focus to the next level, with ultra-strong 22” Mulliner carbon wheels that save 44 kg in unsprung mass for enhanced steering agility, and carbon-ceramic brakes for immensely powerful, fade-free braking. As the most performance focused and dynamic Bentayga ever, Mr King’s Apex Edition amply merits its Le Mans-inspired livery.
The Le Mans Collection Continental GT
Created in 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Bentley’s sixth victory at Le Mans, the Le Mans Collection Continental GT’s Verdant green and Blackline specification nods to the black and green livery of the winning #7 Speed 8. The Beluga black matrix grille features a painted #7 in Arctica white, while other distinctive features include black 22-inch ten-spoke wheels, powerful carbon ceramic brakes and red brake callipers.
All Le Mans Collection vehicles feature a six-wreath emblem inlaid into a high gloss carbon fibre fascia, marking each of the six outright victories recorded by Bentley at Le Mans between 1924 and 2003. The highlight of the interior is the three-way Bentley Rotating Display, which revolves to reveal a central vitrine that holds a section of engine valve from the winning 2003 Speed 8.
