Bluestone Metallic vs Sophisto Grey Metallic vs Space Grey
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I ordered my car in Sophisto Grey without seeing Bluestone, finally managed to track down a paint sample today and compare. Think I'm sticking with my order as it is. Just can't make my mine up on Bluestone. |

Thanks for posting. I like the Sophisto.
I have never been in a US dealership that had these paint samples. Do most European dealers get these?

and bluestone looks awesome on the car.

How they can expect to sell cars prior to launch without brochures, paint samples and interior trims is beyond me. |

ajfoggy they both look really really good. do you want lighter, or darker? I think the bluestone shows more lines of the car.

This picture shows it off a bit better. If it is as light as glacier silver in bright light the bluestone I definitely don't want that. |

Mediterranean blue is not a new color, the F10/11 LCI has it, and also the new X1 and 2 series Active Tourer.

To me it's just a very dark blue without much pop or sparkle. To me Tanzanite blue is a similar dark blue color, but with so much more pop in the sun.

How do you like the Champagne quartz? And why haven't we seen pics of your F11.

Some image links to this car (one of them is how the configurator showed it and one is how it looks dirty in the winter): Champagne quartz metallic, X08. Last edited by Micleg; 01-29-2017 at 12:57 PM.. |
