Wasn't that just Space Gray?

Nope, it wasn't Space Grey either...

It was painted in a color that BMW AG reserves for a number of their high profile concept cars:

Chrome Shadow

White Silver Metallic like on the 50th edition MINI Camden.

dakar yellow or laguna seca blue
maybe even suzuka gray

Grigio Titanio Metallic is nice (I painted a MkIII Jetta that color) as is Amber Fire Metallic (I painted a Passat that color). The Grigio Titanio is cool because it reflects whatever color is around it so it's constantly changing colors. The Amber Fire metallic is the metallic copper from the PT Turbo. Similar to the Lambo actually which is a great color as well.

I say go for something with some pop so if your'e absolutely stuck on these colors, go with the Lambo color.

I believe that was the color/finish they used on E46 M3 18" wheels. It's rumored that the chrome shadow cost a pretty penny too.

I've been wanting to see a matte olive green for some time.

Go to any military installation and look at anything CARC painted. It's not pretty.

Kenyon · 12-07-2009, 11:57 PM

It was on the E46 M3's
I guess it would be custom to have it on the E9x M3

dude on a concept and for a beefy-looking car like this the wheels/tires should be much wider than this

anthony @ eas · 12-08-2009, 01:47 PM

The last one.

elm3 · 12-08-2009, 02:26 PM

Seriously? Maybe it's because I see it all the time but I HATE that color. I don't think it's terribly flattering either. Now a MkII GTI, different story.
