They are both great. I prefer Space Grey since they are not having that purple shine to it as the SG. But this is on balance since both are amazing for the E9X

Sparkling graphite for the E90 - there´s a reason BMW chose that as the launch color.

I got a sparkling graphite e92.

Literally I've already met 3 space grey e92 owners, and they said they regret not getting the Sparkling Graphite. I love it and don't regret not getting space grey. Too bad it is a discontinued color....

Graphite but I'm bias .. this is a personal question that only you can answer. I find it comical you're asking a forum a question like this..

Sparkling graphite has hues of blue and purple in it. That was one reason why i strayed away from the color.

If space gray was available on the sedan when I got my E92, I probably would have bought an E90.

Silverstone metallic, I think(?), that was previously available on the X3!

Now that is the best looking silver gray colour I've seen on ANY vehicle, day or night, sun or shine ... if only it was an option for the 3 series! Well... I guess you could always pay $$ for the Individual option.

ANSWERS countdown tomorow

Well, I share a 2006 bmw 525i black auto/prem with my brother and have some pretty good deals on the table.

1) 2008 BMW 335i coupe auto/prem/sport/ and more options come out to 49000 MSRP going for 0 down and 650 including tax ONLY PROBLEM Is its in sparkling graphite (Space gray is much better)

2) 2008 Fully loaded 335i sedan 0 down 550 a month loaded 48500 MSRP

3) I already have a black sedan so why should I get another black sedan but wait up...the sparkling graphite is not worth paying 3600 dollars more at the end of lease just because it is a different color and is different than the 5

4) I hope I get some people who can give me advice is the SG really nice, do you dislike it now that you have it, etc?
