SGM is Sparkling Graphite Metallic

BrokenVert · 08-31-2009, 11:43 AM

I'm sorry about this thread, but so many people call Space Grey SGM. It just bugs me.

But I do wonder why Steel Grey isnt called SGM. Was it in the past?

Anyways im done bitching now.

I guess it's confusing because technically Space Grey is a metallic colour but it's just not used in the acronym.

ha i made the mistake of calling space grey SGM, when i first came on this forums and got laugh at, it was a good week or two till i realized why

either way, i wish BMW would bring SGM back, it was an amazing color and by far my fav

We talkin colors or transmissions now?

My 2 pence to the OP: SGM is an ambiguous acronym and on 09 and newer 1ers DOES by default refer to Space Grey if anything, why wouldn't it, because Sparkling was first? You'll have to happy with your "inaugural" color because IMO you don't get exclusive rights to an acronym because it came before Space Grey Metallic even though its supposedly "common knowledge on the forums."

I always got confused when I would see SGM because I never knew if they meant Space Grey or Sparkling Graphite..for me, this thread is helpful
