I don't see this color "sophisto grey" in the configurator?

I like what I see in the pic. Anyone know what it is?

---Bill.
BMW USA changed the name to Dark Graphite Metallic

Both Sophisto Grey and Dark Graphite Metallic are paint code A90


It pretty dark when not under strong lights or sunlight
You can see it here in this video

Those are comfort seats with nappa
And the nappa option is only available on comfort seats (that's true at least for the U.K.)

Those aren't ventilated seats because I can't see the micro perforations in the leather to make it permeable to air streams.

I had those in a previous car and the leather harder to keep clean - esp if you snack in the car

I def see micro perforations in those seats. Zoom in and it's obvious.

Yep, these are indeed ventilated seats. Personally not a big fan of perforated leather. Depending on the position of comfort seats, leather looks a bit deformed here and there. I played a bit with the seat: easy controls, comfortable still sporty, you can get that feeling of a sports seat or adjust it to comfort mode for longer journeys.

I've just ordered a 530e in Bluestone, stunning. I currently have a 5 series touring in Sophisto. Sophisto was an optional colour on the new G30 but I wanted a change in colour.

Did they gave you a delivery date for the 530e?

Quick question, how bad will the ride be on the 20in rims? Genuinely.

I suppose the variable dampers are a must with the 20inchers.

20'' rims in this country = variable dampers without doubt!
