Individual Champagne Quartz Metallic F80

shameson · 12-13-2017, 07:06 PM

Just wanted to share some pictures I took this morning of Individual Champagne Quartz M3. I thought I would give this one it's own thread, as in my opinion, this is a beautiful and underrated color! I love how it changes color angle to angle with the light, so I tried to capture that.

This one is an '18 with Black Merino and DCT (no interior shots since its nothing out of the norm)

Cheers!

I had been slacking a little. We also had a streak of rain so today was perfect.

Awesome color car looks sharp.

Graves · 12-14-2017, 04:41 AM

Sick color. Looks great in the sun and out of the sun.

SwedishBloke · 12-14-2017, 04:47 AM

Champagne Quartz Metallic truly is a brilliant color, I myself have a F80 MY17 in CQM. The good thing about this color is that it's just not one color, its 4-5different ones for the price of one. It all depends on the lightning/sun and from what angle you are are seeing it from.

JTK24 · 12-14-2017, 11:09 AM

excellent design choices

Sassicaia · 12-14-2017, 11:34 AM

I need to see this colour in person.

HRE_Wheels · 12-14-2017, 11:36 AM

Wow. Great choice on the color that's for sure. What a looker

Thanks everyone! The sun definitely brings out all the hidden gold flake, it's stunning.

It's worth seeing it in person, pictures don't do it justice. I had only seen the color online until we ordered this.

itsmeeeugene · 12-14-2017, 12:36 PM

i was this close to pulling the trigger on the same color, but ended up with mineral white instead. sooooooo regret it now

Hedoniste · 12-14-2017, 12:52 PM

Very nice

Clark_Kent · 12-14-2017, 12:53 PM

Looks good! Underrated for sure!

e90-4aj · 12-14-2017, 12:53 PM

Since there really isn't many pictures of F80's in this color available on this forum or in general on the internet, would it be OK for you if I posted a few pics of my car here that better show the changing nature of this color?
In several other CQM threads the pictures posted are offline due to traffic limitations etc, so I was thinking of attaching them in a post to make them stay here permanently.

Purely to service the community and for those who are thinking to pull the trigger on this unique color.

Feel free to add some more pictures, certainly helpful in showing off the color!

shay2nak · 12-14-2017, 03:00 PM

awesome! congrats!

SwedishBloke · 12-14-2017, 04:14 PM

Pics are nothing fancy, just taken by me on the go with my old S6 Edge.

With little to no lightning the color is champagne-like, but in the sun it shifts from champagne to different shades of gray and and under some circumstances the color has a hint of light blue/purple.

Maybe these can help someone to decide whether to tick the individual paint option or not

nano10 · 12-14-2017, 06:47 PM

Very nice, really like the color!!!

KevinM · 12-14-2017, 08:03 PM

Great color - congratulations! Almost like a metallic version of a flat gray...
