Colour Query
Hi, new to the board. Been a lurker for about a week or so trying to find out what colour the car is in this spy picture. Its probably been asked before, but I cant find it.
Is it sparkling graphite? Ive seen other pictures of sparkling graphite (esp. the 3 series) online and in real life, and they look much darker than this one. Thanks in advance. |

I would say that it has to be Sparkling Graphite. Perhaps it is the lighting in the photo. The only other greyish colors in the color lineup are Titanium Silver (which this is def not) and Cashmere Silver which I'm not sure of the exact look of. SG is def the color I am on board for. I really like the way it looks.

Sparkling Graphite, Shadowline trim, and black interior--my spec'ed car, except it's a diesel and not a 135i. With a set of aftermarket wheels in gunmetal or hyperblack it will be awesome.

Thanks for the replies. The colour looks great for this car. Im actually shocked at the low number of colours available for the 1 series. Including the missing "arctic", which I had presumed was a BMW must for ever series.
I googled "BMW sparkling graphite" and found the forum below which had pictures. Strangely, the colour looks different. In some instances theres a hint of purple (esp. the first 'showroom' pictures). http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...p?t=267&page=4 |

im almost positive thats sparkling graphite. this is my favorite picture of a 1 series to date, and a couple others for shitsngiggles, they all look to be the same and i cant imagine it being space grey since its not supposed to be available anywhere. that e90 thread shows how much it depends on light
mikeo, that is the perfect combination. dark poplar grey birch whatever trim? |

I would personally like to see Space Gray:iono: I have seen 2 Space Gray 335's and they look great in both direct sun and overcast or nighttime. The Space Gray looks amazing with some M6 reps. Just food for thought. |
