Oxide vs Skyscraper
I have a Skyscraper grey M3 on order that was supposed to be delivered this week. It's still stuck on status 155 at the moment.
I bought the car without seeing Skyscraper in the flesh but it looked nice on photos and videos that I seen. I went to the dealers today and saw a 3 series in Oxide grey and have to say, the colour looked stunning! Has anyone seen both colours side by side to see how they compare? Or even better, got a photo? |

I chose Skyscraper and I’m very happy with it. There was an Oxide 340 near me at delivery. It’s a nice color, but I prefer Skyscraper. Oxide has some golden tones in it.

I have a Oxide grey M3 and would love to see some pictures of both cars side to side, because in some lighting situations the colors seem really close and in other quite different. Would be very interesting to see.

In bright light do you prefer the car to show silver flake or gold flake? That's your answer

I’ve been looking for side by side images for a year, have yet to see them or find a dealer here in LA that has both colors in stock.. I’m leaning towards Oxide🙏🏽

Here you go, I own an Oxide M340i, I really love the color, it's shifting with light exposure and has this little something special but I also like skyscraper, it would be a hard decision.

Only seen pics...
But oxide reminds me of a titanium color (a warm gray base with warm tinted flake) whereas skyscraper is a traditional cool silver. As someone said above...do you want a gold/yellow highlight in sun, or pure silver?

I'm not a fan of the color gold, so I personally would choose Skyscraper. I'm beginning to think though both colors may be too conservative for a vehicle like the G8x, and may go with Brooklyn Grey instead. My fingers are crossed BMW offers a new $550 darker grey choice for the MY2023 that does NOT contain gold flake.

I have an oxide grey so I'm biased, but I absolutely love the color. IMO Brooklyn grey is too common on other models and skyscraper is a bit too dull for me.
