FWIW, I've had my car for a couple of weeks and received many compliments on the color.

Good to hear! So you clearly would recommend Oxide Grey?

Going to throw a curveball, from someone that was considering both those options at one point. Eventually settled on the stark contrast of the black and white. It's so much easier to maintain, and the tinted windows sets it off nicely. To each his own, that's the beauty.

White is a classic
Piano black accents look great
Wanted something different than white or black

My 2 cents. I love the black sapphire and the black interior.

I was so close to selecting black sapphire but then saw the graphite metallic and went that direction. Can’t go wrong with any of them imo

Wow! That is nice! And Yes, you can’t go wrong with any of the colors.

We’ll all be curious how your production process progresses.

I’m also digging them except that it’s not available with the Luxury Seating Package; sport seats only!

I had red in my last car. It certainly looks great. I just changed to brown this time around.

I'm late getting back but I would recommend it. I ordered mine using only what BMW showed when I did a build for my 540. My salesman, who does professional photograpy and knows colors saw the oxide grey at a BMW event and thought it was a great color or I might have changed colors. It's classy and stylish and subuded. I like to fly under the radar

The only negative for some is that with the M-Sport option, the black plastic BMW places on the front and rear of the car stands out more than it would with dark colors, but that's the case with any color that is not dark.
