Car's sweet.

robackja · 12-15-2010, 05:52 PM

Is that space gray?

Edit: I take that back. I originally was looking at it on the iPhone... on the desktop it doesn't look like space gray at all..

PKL · 12-15-2010, 05:55 PM

Looks like an individual color to me

Yea looks much darker than space gray... Though it could be the lighting and white balance..

Psylight · 12-15-2010, 05:57 PM

Isnt that Sparkling Graphite...but uber waxed?

Mr.Metak2you · 12-15-2010, 05:58 PM

IMO it looks like some photshop'n that might have altered appearance of Space Gray or Silver Gray.

That's clearly a processed photo.

I remember seeing this a while back, search "Color Splash App"

wow fitment it perfect.Its darker than space gray but doesnt have the blueish/ purplish hue of sparkling graphite. Maybe a custom paint job?

ee8 · 12-15-2010, 06:15 PM

without question, sparkling graphite. Offered only in first year of production IIRC

NycE93M3 · 12-15-2010, 08:16 PM

dvpouldar26 · 12-15-2010, 08:30 PM

Thats Sparkling Graphite, a discontinued color. That is M3V8's car. He just sold his blower.One of the nicest m3's imo. Very well done.

Sparking graphite, discontinued.

Very tough color to mod, only a few pulled it off, including this one!

Gintani FTW!

Why's it so tough to mod? He's got the same mods tons of people on here already have?

I agree with Alpine, not a lot of mods agree with this specific color - especially glossy carbon.

Miami M3 · 12-16-2010, 02:55 PM

I thought I read on another thread that it was an individual color. Titan Grey or Titan Silver, I think? Definitely looks less metallic than graphite but a deeper shade of grey than space. If it's an individual color I'd love to know and find out how I can order it.
