Space Grey Metallic Color Pics wanted...

[arllc312mjf]

Does anyone have any pics of this new color? I realize that it's not on the 1 yet, but are there any 3-series cars that have this color? Please post some (actual) car photos!!

I like black. Black is good. Black is classy. But I'm really pissed that Space Grey was not available in 2008.

Space grey is awesome. Black is a pain in the wrist, back, neck, etc.

I've had my heart set on Monaco Blue since the 1 came out but now I may have to reconsider. Space Grey is HOT!

[imported_LiveFast135i]

is it going to be on the 1?

[Slay0r]

for 09 yes

-they are killing off SGM

I know the pictures aren't the best quality, and the color probably looks better in person, but I don't think it's anywhere near as nice as SGM...space gray lacks the depth of SGM, and I really like how SGM's color seems to change with lighting conditions.

i thought the SMG was too dark, didnt the front facia *pop* and made the rear diffuser barely noticable

i deff. like space gray better

:w00t: Hey all… it does look nice. Though I wonder if the color is more of a knock-out/gotta have it color in person; or should I say car-son? NO, don't say that. I like it but it doesn't grab me like others say it does them. I don't know what it is but at this one dealership I drive through almost every other day (…just to look for any new 135i colors I haven’t seen yet…), the only car that has not moved from like the beginning of this year is a SGM 135i w/auto, sports, heated seats.. a decent all around package which came in at about $38.5k.

Now I cannot figure out why that car won't sell? Sometime I look at the SGM and it looks incredible, plus it matches the BMW calipers, if were getting that picky; and I’m sure some of us actually are. It's a real nice car, and I think the SGM was one of the most popular colors choices?? This one really baffles me. So now it's got me thinking; here's a color that will be discontinued in a year '1' car. I mean with the space grey thing and all.... So, now I am wondering if 'I' should make that purchase, secure that car, hum... I have never even considered SGM, only black and white; the car looks great in both, while neither is actually a ‘color’.

Anyway, with the new Space Grey addition, that particular car would most definitely be a very rare car (but it may take 40-50 years, and we'll all be six feet under). Now if I could afford to buy one to drive, and one to store, ya right keep on dreaming. Affording just one it a stretch. Let me conclude this ramble-on-brain-burp with where I started by asking once again for the people who have seen Space Grey in person; is it one of those... 'blew me away' feelings? Or, Not. Lastly (again), is there metallic flakes seen in the SG as in the SGM? Thanks much, I'm gone...

Nice. That last pic is my buddy from the last track day we went to at Laguna Seca. I was crapping bricks sitting shotty... that thing is a monster on the track.

The space gray looks awesome in person, in bright or dim lighting.

And I've seen Space Grey in person.

Not a bad color

Booooring

sorry, at least it's still a 1, and it is better than the green

Dull, dull, dull. SGM was nicer. Why did they drop it? It seems to be the most populer 1series color along with AW.
