No Donington Grey on F8x M3/4

bunker · 09-25-2015, 12:57 PM

Just FYI for the individual build-ers out there, my dealer informed me yesterday that BMW Individual will not do Donington Grey on an M3 / M4 because the cars are not built in Spartanburg. Disappointed...

Yup. Someone else tried to spec Donington Grey and got rejected as well. Sad because it's really a beautiful color and would suit the M3/M4 perfectly.

so...now I've gotta figure out which one to go with. Jubilee Silver was the one identified to me as the "closest." Silver Grey is a possibility. So is Space Grey.

grrrr... decisions.

Jubilee Silver is

One of the Indonesia M group owners has an M4 in that color, you should be able to find a few pics in the master color thread

I have indeed seen that one. Would love to see more pics of that car. I do like the color quite a bit from what I've seen, but only two pics on that thread so far.

Singapore grey looks awesome..will that one work?

Don't get space gray..it's a super dead looking grey. No substance to it.

totally disagree. space gray is an awesome color in its own right. however, I couldn't stomach paying $5k for a car that's almost as ubiquitous as black or white on modern BMWs.

I vote for silver gray. that color is perfect

I thought if you dropped $5k, you could get any color offered on the planet. Not the case?

chris719 · 09-25-2015, 07:13 PM

I think it's more like whatever they feel like doing for 5k.

+1

It's too plain for 5k

But it sure has a whole lot of character, more than mineral gray I think.

Why is this in the photos/videos section?

Evil kind of false advertising.
