No Space Grey for now?
While speccing my M3 order, the dealer informed me that Space Grey was not listed as one of the optional colors. I would expect it to be released at some point, but has anyone else heard of this?
If I can't get Space, I think I'm going with white; possibly silver, but I swore I wouldn't get another silver car! |

I know it's available on the 3 series because my 335xi coupe in Space Grey is coming in tomorrow. However, I looked at the computer screen while my rep. showed me all of the colors. SG was not there as an option.

Likely an early ordering system software glitch.

That was my dilema. But fortunately Space Grey is available for the Coupe, that is why I will opt for it.

Don't know why the sedan would be different. Go Alpine!

If i get the coupe, the 31 seconds I gain in the 1.2 mile trip to the bus stop with the kids in the morning will be reduced to 3 seconds after I get out of the car, flip the seat forward, and let the kids out. $70K for 3 seconds/day hardly seems like a bargin. With 4 doors, it's a no brainer. So sparkling graphite will have to do.

Exactly my thoughts and why I am pretty keen on Space Grey myself. Just the right balance of light/dark and with the metallic it really pops. I have wanted a silver car since before my current red E36 M3 and also wanted silver for my E46 M3. I liked the red quite well when I first got the E36 but the E46 was always just a purchase of opportunity, not a choice on the color. Was never that fond of that red on that car... I digress... Space Grey FTW!

BTW, not to be OT, but I have to say how impressed I am with the 328xi coupe. My girlfriend got hers yersterday. (Of course, it doesn't have the power that we like, but, very impressive nonetheless.). It's nice to be back in a Bimmer. Can't wait for the 335 and M! |

Well Greg, its not available on the 3 series sedan, so maybe that's why?
I hadn't even thought about this before, but if Space Gray really is available on the E90 M3, then that makes it an M3 exclusive for the E90. If its not available as the guy claims, then I wonder if BMW will add another color for the E90 M3 (such as Sparkling Graphite)? Or will it just have one fewer available colors than the coupe? |

Space Grey looks great with the (anthracite?) paint on the 19" wheels. Not for me though, as I don't like metallics. Of the available colors thus far, Alpine White is really starting to grow on me. This began with seeing a few too many white GT3s in recent months. I would really like a bright red, non-metallic to become available (current Z4 color), but if that doesn't happen in a year or two I will probably go with Alpine.
