Today I was at the day of open house at BMW Regensburg where the E92 is build. Already many cars are completely build and are waiting for transport and shipment.
I saw space grey cars in the daylight and was disappointed. It looked not so brilliant as on the pics we already know. Maybe of any wax for shipment protection. At the assembly line it looked much better, maybe because of the bright light at the assemly line.
I saw space grey primarily in combination with coral red leather at the assembly line. Black primarily with cream beige. I saw also some cars with black interior.
At the assembly line, I was able to compare space grey with sparkling graphite.
Space grey appeared to me as the silver gray of the E46 coupe. Spark. graph. was much darker.
All cars I saw were either space grey or white or black or titanium silver. No other exterior colours.
There were also US models ready for shipment.
A very impressive day.
