Skyscraper Grey G8x finally

frank70 · 04-04-2021, 05:52 AM

One of the few colors for which we had not seen pictures yet.

Scorp!on · 04-04-2021, 06:07 AM

looks very good ! kind of a lighter Mineral Grey.
Wouldn't have been mad to choose this color.

altough I like Mineral Grey better

9153mark · 04-04-2021, 06:24 AM

Some "direct sunlight" still needed...
Fiona red would go soooo well

Zirenz2006 · 04-04-2021, 08:32 AM

does it remind anyone of Space Grey or am I seeing things?

BimmerFix · 04-04-2021, 09:23 AM

Lighting is terrible.

Needs to be on a bright showroom floor, or outside in sunlight.

Do appreciate the photos tho.

I agree, appreciate you posting the photos, but I have a strong feeling these photos don't depict the color accurately at all.

Yeah that lighting is awful. In these pics it's like Silverstone II and Space Gray had a love child.

Similarly terrible pics of Brooklyn grey for comparison...

Blindside_137 · 04-04-2021, 05:40 PM

This color is promising! I still think Brooklyn is a decade late.

Yes, zooming in on the brighter parts of the pictures, looks similar to Space Gray. Hope it is - love Space Gray. If so, hope it's available in the US, and not as a specialty color. I like Brooklyn Gray, but agree - it's a few years too late.

E36 PWR · 04-06-2021, 10:23 PM

Found a few swatches from some touch up paints. Not sure how accurate they are, but looks promising. On the first swatch below, I sampled some colors and put them into boxes so you guys could better see the colors.

Another great shade of grey. Thanks for sharing!

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 04-09-2021, 05:34 PM

Looking forward to seeing some high quality photos in the sunlight soon!

V-Eight · 04-11-2021, 01:34 AM

wow!!!!! It's the colour I want for mine, and I'm really really happy to have seen, finally, a real photo of the result. Totally in love. With the CC gold brake calipers it'll be a perfect looker.

Olivenoire · 04-24-2021, 06:36 AM

Seems it is a Skyscraper Grey.
That's not mine, mine is for delivery mid-may

This is Oxide Grey, not Skyscraper.

stvward · 06-06-2021, 03:59 PM

No. The detailer confirms that it is Skyscraper Grey.

V-Eight · 06-07-2021, 01:27 AM

Ordered mine last friday, M3 Comp x drive, delivery is expected within the end of august.

Skyscraper grey in the end.....I like it, maybe a too much safe choice, but for sure, it'll be a colour that will never bore me and maybe, will make a future resell easier.

congrats! which wheels did you go with?

strongly considering SG, debating between wheels. the two tone in the video above look really classy but i've also always been a big fan of black wheels for that sporty vibe. tough choice.

I went for the 826 bicolor. In my opinion are better than the black Monochrome offered as standard ;-)

I'll post a lot of picture as soon as it will arrive at the dealer, hopefully, within 3 weeks from what I know.
