Color Options? Sparkling Graphite?
Will sparkling graphite or another silver close to the concept be available. I am looking for something darker than Spay Grey but lighter than Jerez Black.

Your best bet is to get Space Grey and then get Gunmetal finish done on the OEM CSL rims........ That would look hot... |

Or the Satin BBS RS-GT's. That lip is sexy and they're lightweight. A bit costly though.

Space Gray
I think Space Gray will be as close to the concepts Chrome Shadow as possible. I also think it is much closer than Sparkling Graphite, which is quite dark. I am planning on Space Grey myself, both becuase I like the look of CS but also just because I think it is a beautiful, medium silver with a nice metallic component and it also understated.

Jason,
I am in the same boat you are in, except my two colors are Jet Black and Sparkling Graphite. Having a white car already, I would like to get something a bit darker. The interior colors though have me even confused...fox red, black, bamboo, or that new silverstone color? I plan on having this car for a long time...must longer than my previous car and I want to pick something that I won't get tired of... |

Imo, the colour choices are really uninspired. They don't even offer a good red.

I will be attempting to order mine in 'Bright Red' as used on the Z4, for an up charge of course. Hopefully this will be a possibility. Last edited by RandyB; 07-20-2007 at 09:13 AM.. |

My wife considered sparkling graphite for her E60 when we ordered it. It looks great in the order guide and in photos, but to be certain SG was the right color to go with, we found a dealer with a SG car on the lot, and in certain light is has a definite purple/pink hue. If that's your thing, great, but in case you did not know. . .
FWIW, my wife ordered saphire black instead. |

You guys pay more over there, but get to buy the individual colors. The azurite black is absolutely killer, so is the blue onyx--I've seen pictures or real cars! |

Alpine white -- the only way to go! With all other colors (except the ugly red maybe) the carbon roof doesn't stand out. If the cf roof doesn't save a significant amount of weight, it should at least look cool
