Official Bernina Grey Amber Effect Thread

MCHLBMR · 01-05-2021, 04:45 PM

The LCI 5ers are looking so good! Love the color, too.

TEGRITY · 01-05-2021, 05:47 PM

mate, that is a sweet package indeed.. enjoy!

Just curious, does the car fit in through your garage doors? at least with the side mirrors unfolded? it looks narrow in the pictures...

khanyam4 · 01-05-2021, 06:51 PM

Love the LCI G30 5 with these led/laser head. Some people think these type of color is played out ie nardo, lime rock, brand hatch, chalk, etc but I'm not over it.

Amazing color. The lighter rims accentuate this color even more so. Great choice! Thanks for sharing.

Wow...this is beautiful.

It really gives me Mojave Metallic vibes. I had a 2009 E92 335i in Mojave back in the day and I still to this day never saw another in person or online until this post!!!

My favourite "new" bmw color.
Photos don't do it justice.

Yazar · 01-05-2021, 09:42 PM

Elegant machine! Congrats!

driftqueen · 01-06-2021, 12:47 AM

Is there a bernina for the 8s? Just forward planning...😬

JustChris · 01-06-2021, 02:29 AM

Yes a lovely colour indeed.

I'm amazed this is considered new or news though. I was looking a YT videos of it months ago?

Eg 5 month old video

I'm not sure the point of this post was that the color is breaking news, so much as the OP is sharing their build and a bunch of their pictures. One top of if there's no existing build thread on the subforum for the color, like there is for many others.

Agreed, I was just surprised it was front page news, or maybe rather I'm surprised then that the 5er section doesn't have many/any delivery and photo pics of this colour like the OP says.

Ikester19 · 01-06-2021, 06:44 AM

Congrats, lovely colour. In some pics it looks like a lighter shade of Dravit.

marsb007 · 01-06-2021, 08:13 AM

My intent was to start a thread on the color, like we have for pretty much every other color. Yes, it's been out for a while, but if you search for Bernina you'd barely get anything on this forum...

No idea why this was in the front page though. Slow week I guess. Those were just some pics I took in my driveway after I cleaned it. Nothing artistic or special...

Either way, hope it helps someone decide for or against the color.

GOLFFRR · 01-06-2021, 08:49 AM

Sharp!

HanLueX · 01-06-2021, 10:18 AM

Looks nasty with the blacked out rims and grilles. Awesome build

Yes, it fits. It's probably the angle from the back seat that I took the picture from. It's a standard size door x3. I have one, my wife's X5 fits just fine as well, and we use the third for storage.

Hey no apologies needed, perhaps a slow week and we ALL always need MORE CAR PICS.

Your car looks fantastic!!! Enjoy.

Game · 01-06-2021, 12:30 PM

Great looking car. It seems like half of the new LCI 5 we have at my dealer are in this color.

Thats good then.. when we were hunting for houses a few years ago I really copped it from my wife for saying NO to a house that she really wanted as the garage doors were quite narrow and the driveway was steep enough to scrub my front skirts. that didn't go well.

Fronttwelv · 01-06-2021, 07:14 PM

Amazing color! This would look sweet on a g20 as well!

Sedan_Clan · 01-07-2021, 04:19 AM

That's a nice color. Beautiful car.
