Looks great!! Maybe different in person but it looks more like a light shade of Nardo grey. When I saw my friends fashion grey, it seem like there was a touch of muddy green type of shade to the color. None the less, congrats and is the best version of your build

Since they're local to you, any thoughts on OneEighty headlights? |

Holy sh..
Thought it was going to be a wrap, damn that full paint looks spectacular. Excellent color choice for the E90 body style. I particularly like the headlight washer delete. God I hate those things. |

Great looking build!! It definitely looks a little bit like nardo but it also has some fashion grey in it as well.
Fashion grey has some beige in it in most lights. It also looks very different on a sunny day vs a cloudy day. Not trying to hijack the thread but it’s good for comparison. Let me know if you want me to delete the post. This is my fashion grey 340i
