How do you like Donnington Grey? I always thought it leaned a little more towards Beige/Champagne than a Grey, but I suppose it depends on the lighting conditions. Still a beautiful color!

I love this color. Originally when I went to purchase I saw an X3M in the showroom with it and my jaw dropped. Was so bummed that the M50i didn't have it available as an option. The world works in mysterious ways. In person I see 0 champagne color. Maybe my eyes are broken haha it looks silver in direct sunlight. Grey in studio (fluorescent light). Dark grey in low light.

Love this. My F85 was in Donnington Grey. Absolutely beautiful. What interior did you get? Share some more pics.

I got Adelaide Grey! Such a unique interior. Looks grey in direct light and brownish in low light. Will share more pics after I get PPF and ceramic coating. Trying to hold off on getting rock chips until then haha but here are some more for now!

Nice pics, Adelaide looks more Grey in your pics, I haven’t seen in person yet but most of the pics I’ve seen, incl BMW site, it appears more tannish/brownish color. I’m glad to see it actually looks more gray in reality.

Did you lease or buy?

Seems like 90%+ on here lease. I've always bought my cars. I don't really understand the guys that spend thousands and thousands on PPF, Ceramic, Suspension, Exhaust, etc. on basically a long-term rental car (lease) lol.

Yea! There's no way on this planet I'd spend all that money on a leased car haha

Tho I did contemplate just leasing since I do purchase a new car every 2-3 years. Haha it's terrible financially, so I'm hoping I keep this one to at least until the end of the warranty haha

Yea I generally ride my cars into the sunset, as long as I still love driving them! I have 119K miles on my '11 E90 M3 and still love it. There's just something about a naturally-aspirated V8 M-car! The lack of low-end torque (turbos fixed that) requires that you maintain it up in the high RPM power-band range, which I love! Before that I had an '02 E46 M3 for about 10 years as well! Though I'm lurking this forum cuz I'm considering making a switch to X5MC. Too much kids gear to haul around these days for a sedan!

Thank you!
Thanks for sharing these interior pics!

Definitely leaning towards this interior color on my next build, bit can't get enough exposure to make a final solid decision.

Would you mind posting a couple more pics of the interior when under the lighting you mentioned that has a tendency to make it look more brown/tan...?

thanks in advance!

I ordered Adelaide! I was set on taruma or whatever the brown was- but I saw the grey in person on an x6m and was intrigued. Seems uncommon.

Definitely a unique color! Looks great in the pics you posted.

I was originally considering Silver Stone as my next interior, bit when I saw Adelaide Grey as an option recently, that seems more fitting for the presence I want the future car to have.

My only concern, it that it may have a more "tan/brown" hue in person, similar to how it looks on the configurator...which I would like to avoid.

In those pics I'd say it looks more of a Taupe color.
