Strange colour

Saw this today and the colour with Cerium grey trim wasn't very nice.

I'd say it's Sunstone Metallic - individual paint.

Looks like Allegro Biege to me (UK people will know what I mean).

It was more metallic than it looks in the picture.

Sunstone metallic and it looks really good with black grilles and boomerangs.

Yep, definitely sunstone metallic. Sound only come with shadowline (black) pack

Different.

I agree!

Here’s a Joe Achilles review of a car in the same colour. The colour looks a lot nicer in the video, as I’m sure it did in the flesh.

Unusual color.

It didn't look great to be honest...

I almost order an X3 M40i in this colour, then went wonky somewhere and ended up with a black X4 M40i instead after swearing blind I'd never have another black BMW lol

I think you dodged a bullet 👍

Best colour they made IMO - Sunstone Metallic

Picture in OP really doesn't do it justice.

Curiously, I don't like those larger rims in the photo tho, they make it look odd. I went with the smaller 19s because of wear, but that photo makes me happy with the choice for style too.
