About to have some paintwork done on my car and i was under the impression that my E36 touring was finished in Boston Green but after looking at the sticker under the bonnet it states Farngruen Metallic.
Are the too colours the same or totally different???
Is Boston Green the same colour as Farngruen Metallic?

to be far thats what got me thinking but i thought boston green could be the euro name for Farngruen Metallic.mabz wrote:as they have different names i would guess they are not the same
plus the only pics i can find of Farngruen cars are E46's so they may have changed the name when it went over to the E46?

That almost looks blue am I right in thinking fern green is quite rare on the e36 due to only a few late cars getting that colour? I suppose as a test before it becoming a choice on all E46's
