1998 Bentley Arnage Green Label

1998 to 1999 · Sedan

The Arnage Green Label represents Bentley's brief but fascinating BMW collaboration period, powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter BMW V8 producing 354 horsepower. This unlikely pairing lasted just two model years before Volkswagen's acquisition brought the Red Label's 6.75-liter V8 back into the fold. The Green Label's BMW engine delivered surprisingly spirited performance for a 5,500-pound luxury saloon, with modern reliability that Red Label owners could only dream of. Only around 1,000 Green Labels were produced, making them the rarest Arnage variant by far. While purists initially dismissed the BMW powerplant as heretical, collectors now appreciate these cars for their unique place in Bentley history and their superior driving dynamics. Clean examples command strong money today, particularly as the most reliable entry point into modern Bentley ownership. The Green Label's scarcity and historical significance make it an intriguing alternative to the more common Red Label variants.
