I've gotta admit, I had never seen the sparkling graphite in person, only in the advertisements. I had my beautiful black saphire 325i with burl walnut and tan leather all picked out and ready to go. I sat in it at the dealers shortly after it came in off the boat. Then my dealer showed me a sparkling graphite with a black leather interior. It had more options then I had planned on ordering, and I wasn't crazy about the brushed aluminum trim. After comparing the two side my side, the SG really seemed to highlight the graceful lines of the car better. I also thought the graphite might be a touch easier to keep clean. After having the car for almost a week, I'm so glad I went with the graphite over the black. It does give off a puple tint in some lighting situations, but man, in the sun it is a blazing array of green, blue, red, all soaked in a background of liquid metal. I really like the black leather and aluminum now too. It feels more "sporty" as opposed to simply "classy".
