That looks sweet, im surprised at the way it looks i thought i woudln't like it but honestly ive changed my mind and this could be a possibility for a future colour choice!

MastaMind · 11-28-2007, 06:53 AM

Thanks for the pics.

Is that Taupe leatherette?

1ster · 11-28-2007, 07:14 AM

Thanks! SGM is on my short list, and it is nice to see some good pictures of it.

It is amazing how the lights really lighten up the color. In the real world it is quite a bit darker. Some people notice hues of purple within SG, but I have never noticed it on my E90, maybe some brown though.

BForbes · 11-28-2007, 07:40 AM

It looks a bit dry and purplish for me. Still awaiting the AW BMW.

Agree. I have it on my car, and see brown hues, but rarely any purple.

Vielen Dank to the original poster for the pics!! Nice work!

Looks okay, I think it looks better on the 335i.

If they had made Space Gray available on the 135i my mind would've been made up :mad:

jopali · 11-28-2007, 10:01 AM

i'm glad i'm not the only one that sees the purplish hues, altho i must say this looks good.

darknightohio · 11-28-2007, 10:30 AM

Thanks for sharing!

I used the autocolor function on one of the shots and it basically removed all of the yellowish lighting:

Great photos of the SGM.....Made me go out and put down my deposit on an SGM with Black Leather........And now the long winter wait !!!

TheoIam · 11-28-2007, 06:16 PM

Nice pics. Makes the one look very upscale.

I have to see Monaco pics to make up my mind.

135SF · 11-28-2007, 06:50 PM

Great pics of SG. That's what i'm getting with black leatherette,sports pack and i pod. Will not consider any other color.

SmoothStyle1 · 11-28-2007, 07:02 PM

Sparkling Graphite = The Truth.

That is def. the color I'm getting; without question.

paul christians · 12-07-2007, 01:28 PM

this looks cool to me,I am thinking AW or black on black or even this color too, with bushed aluminum trim....

mlevere1988 · 12-07-2007, 02:06 PM

Thank you for real life pictures other than the Sedona Red. It looks good but my current car is that color and I am getting tired of it. I need something a little brighter.

dclee1 · 12-19-2007, 01:33 PM

argh...having a tough time choosing between sgm and monaco blue...and need to put the order in this week
