I’m also considering an m5 and Donington grey is a standard color. It looks nothing like this, much more grey on configurator. This pic looks great and much more silver as you describe.

Or just try asking for the Audi colour if you like it so much. There are other Audi colours available through Individual Manufaktur |

I went (ordered) for an M3 comp. Xdrive last week.
The colour I went for is the Skyscraper grey, as the Donington costs 10k Euros here in Italy. Absurd in my opinion for a color that is so common on other models. I've never seen the Skys.grey in person but, through the specific thread here in the forum, there are several pictures and I think it's really good. Brookling to me seems something "already seen" in other brands, and off course the Skyscraper is again a specific M3/4 colour, it's not available in any other bmw models for the time being. It cost just 1k euro, and to me its a good chioce if you want a "special" silver option. If you don't like it, for 3k you can wrap it, and even in this case, you spend less than half you would spend for an individual option.

Glacier Silver
I have a 2015 Alpina B7 in GS that absolutely glows in the sun, really metallic, flakey silver (not the aluminum-like Pure Silver). I too am looking at a good silver or grey (maybe Grigio Medio) option for a G80 for my wife. Not sure how GS compares to Audi Florett though, but GS should be an easy ask for BMW to provide.

They are probably referring to Glacial Silver.
Here is one from the F80 forums. Note they have a link to their older car, a Silverstone Metallic II, as well in that post. By the way, your MBB post is what convinced me to go with MBB over SMB for my xDrive order. It looks freaking awesome on the G80. I just got my allocation today and asked them to request it (and SMB as backup).

I always thought the Rhodonite Silver that BMW offered as an individual color on the '17 to '20 G30 was a beautiful silver. I prefer my silver to be on the lighter side so that it looks less grey.

I also agree on the wheels. It's the only thing I've gone back/forth on over the last month. I love the shape of the 826M but I really wish the bi-color were a bit lighter. I love the brightness of the 825M bi-color but ultimately I prefer the sportier look of the 826M... so I ultimately went with the 826s and feel like if I don't love them enough, I'll do like you and entertain replacing them.

OP, can request for the specific Audi silver. I've seen people post pics of Nardo Grey M3s, Ferrari Red M4s, etc. Worst case is they'll say no and give you the closest option to it. |
