What color is this?

Rippy087 · 03-26-2008, 08:00 PM

Hopefully this link works. I searched on Google images for SG and this car came up. The caption for the car said Gunmetal Grey, but as far as I can tell, the 1er doesn't come in Gunmetal. It looks significantly lighter than any SG I have seen on the web so far. Any ideas?

Nope - it's a not a color available for the 1er. It's a photochop.

And those wheels aren't right either.

Thanks!

I knew that the wheels were photoshopped, but whoever did the color did an amazing job on it. I thought it might just not be available in the US or something along those lines. Dissappointing, beautiful color.

I think they played with the colour for the whole picture (hue and whatnot), to alter it, then photChopped the tail lights and whatever back on in the right shades...
look at the landscape, it lends itself for grey manipulation.

wheels are definitely chopped in

Yep, they're my Photoshopped works from last year before we knew of any colours other than Sedona Red.

On BMW USA when they show the 135i, it goes through several colors, and I saw a bright yellow. Wonder if that will ever become an option.
