Dark Graphite vs Oxide Grey? Help
Both M Sport - which one? I can’t decide. This will be my first EV if I pull the trigger. Coming out of ‘22 540i and a bit nervous.

I'll be going with Dark Graphite again. I was hoping Skyscraper Grey would be available, but I like how the black details blend with Dark Graphite.
Plus, even though I'm switching to a Touring, the neighbors won't even realize I've got a new car! 😄 |

Welcome to the EV club - that was me 13months back when I took delivery of my i5. Let us know if we can help with the transition/questions. I think you’ll love the ride. |

Personally, I like some contrast so I'd probably choose the Oxide. Both are good choices though. Good luck picking!

I think it's just going to come down to personal preference. The oxide's grill area is more contrasted, and the grey presents a more stealth/sinister look.
From a maintenance standpoint, both colors would be relatively easy to maintain and detail, and somewhat forgiving on dirt/dust during the summer. A difficult decision to be certain. Personally, I like the stealth look, I think. |

As the owner of an Oxide Grey 540, I can definitely say go with the Oxide Grey.
