(E92 / E93) Official Sparkling Graphite M3 Coupe / Cabrio Thread

It's hard to make this color look good all the time..
It's not white or silver it's more of a black; pain to keep clean

+1!

A friend of mine is looking for one. e90 M3 preferably. Anyway, I think that the sparkling graphite is one of the best colors for the m3. It's like space gray, but way darker.

Yup! I saw that as well.

The seller posted that the sale was pending. I replied to check if the sale went through. Still waiting for the seller to reply back...

Alright, who has some purple rims on this color? I can't be the first to be doing this. I am tired of black all the time though I do like the mean look of it, its out dated. My babies now:
