New color ? Silver gray or Titanium gray II

E90Fleet · 07-10-2005, 11:53 AM

Got this pic of the new touring in the factory

look at its color and the sedan infront of it

it looks like the BMW color Silver grey or Titanium grey II

Wonder if they are adding them in for September ( sedan could be a prototype )

EDIT: Compare it to this Titanium Grey II E60

Great color -- I was tending toward artic silver in spite of the extra cost for metallic, but this is even better!

Looks like they are prepping the steel for painting.

IMO the color inthe picture could easily be Arctic. I find the arctic looks very different depending on lighting, etc.

The original is pretty large, and when zooming in you can se its definately not Arctic

It looks a little bit like Blue Water metallic, a color that was on the E39 a few years back.

this one shows it nicely

E90Fleet · 07-11-2005, 06:00 AM

This one and the above pic look very much like Silver Grey

YYdoodle · 07-11-2005, 10:16 AM

It looks very nice here:

Is this a metallic color?

I do think this could easily be arctic. Went to see one at the dealer this afternoon, and I actually changed my order to arctic.

Only Arctic could manage such trickery.

E90Fleet · 07-11-2005, 12:00 PM

Trust me its not Arctic

they are releasing a couple new colors in September which should include Silver Grey and Mystic Blue

No literature anywhere has ever mentioned Silver Grey being available for the e90 in September. Is there any reason to believe this outside of a picture on the assemblyline?? It seems a stretch to go from "a pic" to "it's available in September" without any other info. I sort of hope this isn't true because then I would have another gut wrenching decision to make between Mystic Blue and Silver Grey.

That's a no-brainer: take Silver-Grey!

One of the things that strikes me odd about the Silver-Grey possibility is that that is how Mystic Blue was introduced on other models in the past;; it was together with Silver-Grey.
