Well, this is what I have ordered. Any thoughts on the color? Was it a good alternative to Donington?

Awesome color. Thanks. Been dying to see this color on M5. I wish there was a more comprehensive wrap around video of exterior and interior as well. What is source of this video? Anyway, I ordered this color as well. Had the mojave metalic on my 2012 535 and loved it until a 16 yr old girl very recently T-boned and totaled it. Had car repainted in a few places and no problems matching. Also, it’s true it hides swirls pretty well, but on this car preferable to hand wash anyway. Anyway, this champagne seems pretty close. Got it with bi-color wheels, smoke white interior and the plumb trim. Classy scheme, unassuming and not too common a color. I actually compared the paint swatches of DG with CQ outside in the sun and the dealer and I both agreed that both were great colors, but the CQ is more dynamic and interesting due to there being noticably more metallic flecks and opalescent speckles under the bright sun. Plus I just like earth tones. Expecting car sometime in summer according to my rep in Houston.

Btw- I got 2nd slot. First slot buyer ordered DG and Tartufo, which I think is also a great combo.

I saw this color in person a couple of days ago. It's interesting in the sun because of the yellow that pops out surprisingly at certain angles. Also, it shows a good amount of metallic flakes in the sun at certain angles and distances. Another nice thing about it is that it doesn't show scratches and swirls that much, and it hides dirt pretty well. On the other hand, it just looks like a brownish-grayish color at many angles, distances, and light conditions (which is actually most of the time...), and not really attractive under those conditions. It would also be extremely hard to deal with if part of the car ever needs to be repainted.

I would go with the Marina Bay Blue (although I haven't seen it in person).

I talked to the guys in local dealership and it appears that this is 100% the same color as attached below.

enjoy!

It is realy amazing HOW DIFFERENT it looks depending on the light conditions. Gray, brown, silver, bronze.

Have you received the car yet? Happen to have any high quality photos or video? I was very much considering this color but thought I needed a lighter color leather to compliment and the White and silverstone weren't really desirable to me. Wished they had more of an oyster/beige interior option, then I would have definitely pulled the trigger on this color.
