So....I think I'll just ask for some opinions. Yea... I know....this probably won't help, but if anyone feels like chiming in, please do!

Dravit, Mineral White or Skyscraper Gray?

Currently have Mineral White on order and debating flipping to sparkling copper metallic. so I will be no help.

Well, thanks for making me feel just a little bit better about my indecision!
Not sure why I'm having such a hard time picking a color for this one. I've had over 20 cars and have never been so indecisive.

Beautiful!
How similar is this color to Skyscraper Gray? I know that the the frozen finish is different, but the gray tone seems to be fairly close.

I think it’s similar in tone but very different in finish as it’s not glossy/shiny and the frozen are a matte finish. but this color is sparkly in the sun, again metallic. Skyscraper is not metallic, so no sparkles! Lol The frozen matte color plays a lot with light and shadows looking lighter and darker depending on lighting. I love it! You can see more models in this color for 2023. Plenty of YouTube videos out there. Definitely looks great with the black gloss trim, in the m model and m sport package. Here is a short video….

Here is skycraper gray…check out the videos on YouTube. All the colors are all out there ….see it’s not metallic, so not sparkly. All the BMW metallic paint colors have sparkly flakes that shine beautiful in the sun

Skyscraper Gray is definitely metallic.

yes, it is metallic. I have seen it in person, and it's nice - but the videos aren't great for showing real-life pictures. to me, it's more silver outside, looks more gray in the shade.

JazTampa was saying SG wasn't metallic. I just wanted to correct that. SG is metallic.

She's HOME!! Call my CA Sonya at Galleria BMW. I placed my order very late July and it was at the dealership last week. She shipped it out to me in Northern California!! She has always made my experience pleasurable!!

Did the trim make it on the back door or is that black plastic? Great looking car.

Took Big Al up to a nice cabin in northern WI. Much needed respite from the city life.

Nice color combo with the black wheels. I typically don't like black wheels but looks nice on your color combo/interior

Wow... how awful! From the one pic it looks like something may have impacted it near the front of the glass panel... like a rock or construction debris from above. Glad you're all safe!

That definitely looks like the point of impact. Glad you and the family are well.

Mporcl · 09-03-2022, 11:54 AM

Nothing hit the car. Car was stationary. All are okay. Dealer will make right.
