Can't tell if this is Space Gray or S. Graphite...

BimmerDreamerFL · 09-17-2006, 04:08 AM

I've posted the same question a few days ago -- regarding another photo, but I find myself having to ask, again.

Found this posted on Bimmerfest.com and can't tell if it's the new 'Space Gray' or last years E90 color 'Sparkling Graphite.'

Maybe it's my cheap old monitor, but in certain lighting they look very similar...

Space grey. I can easily understand why people get confused though.

I think it is SG

SG = Space Gray
SG = Sparkling Graphite

Hmmm.....

it gray alright

Chris33 · 09-17-2006, 07:59 AM

I would say it's Space Grey. It look's to light to be Graphite.

I think its Graphite. look at the e46 next to it. Even if thats silver the newer car is very much darker...

Its space gray,...all the dealers got the same cars. Space gray with coral red interior.

It's space grey, you can tell by looking at the flake where the flash is hitting the car. It's just a dark pic of space grey - sparkling in that light would look almost black.

This is Space Gray. Although my car is Sparkling Graphite, I still prefer Space Gray!
