I am currently driving an 07 G35 sedan, and looking to move up to M-Ville within 12-15 months. I really love this color, but was just at the bmwusa configurator, and it does not seem like an option. Any input on this>?

Thanks

ColoCane · 01-27-2009, 12:52 PM

It's an '08 color. Not available in the '09s, much to my disappointment. I absolutely loved the Sparkling Graphite. But had to order another (went with Jerez Black). They got rid of Graphite and added LeMans Blue (similar to Interlagos Blue, but with blue highlights instead of the purple).

redline22 · 02-12-2009, 01:28 PM

Ya I like the color too. I just bought the same one ,but with the smoke colored stock rims, not the 19inch doudle spoke M's

Heat00 · 02-12-2009, 06:59 PM

here is my 02 worth..a couple of quick shots... I have painted reflectors and matte black grill... i think it goes well with Graphite

Daft · 02-12-2009, 07:09 PM

Why o Why was this colour discontinued?!

SlowGray08 · 02-12-2009, 10:47 PM

SG is pretty damn bad ass, then again I am biased.

d3l0n · 05-13-2009, 02:57 PM

any more guys?? new wheels? black wheels? (CSLs specifically lol)

Gladius · 05-13-2009, 08:56 PM

I'm going to try out my old CSLs as track wheels...I'll take photos when I do.

Heat00 · 05-16-2009, 09:14 AM

very nice....

heres an after shot, got my hands on some oem 19's

Tak555 · 08-18-2009, 04:33 PM

just thought i'd bump this thread... this is NOW my favorite color.

any more out there?
it seems like a relatively rare color? anyone with speed cloth?

bbrf033 · 10-12-2009, 01:22 PM

If you are talking about speedcloth as opposed to the leather option, yes, I do. Same color and wheels as in the pix above.

Takumi587 · 10-27-2009, 04:57 PM

Wait is this color no longer available?

CSMRX7 · 10-27-2009, 05:00 PM

nope 2008 only

CSMRX7 · 10-27-2009, 05:03 PM

Here are a few from the track

saeedg48 · 12-06-2009, 11:14 AM

I would have ordered it if Sparkling graphite did not have that blue/red tint to it in certain lighting.

Dieselino · 12-06-2009, 05:04 PM

I really like sparkling graphite but I decided on space gray because sparkling graphite hides the carbonroof.
