Couldn't decide on a color

So I just had them send it to me in BMW SOP primer gray.

I figure I'll paint it later after I decide.

Almost a cross between Frozen Grigio Medio and Fashion Gray. Would be great if we had more paint choices, even if just capability of choosing from a number of Individual colors at extra cost. Yesterday I was looking at the Aston Martin DBX config/build website - they have 30 colors to choose from, but it is also $200K plus...

I went back to my earlier colors thread after configuring a DBX, and can see about 3 or 4 colors which would be tempting [ https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1612633 ]. Maybe they'll open things up with the LCI.

I agree. I wish there were a few more options, but I understand it would be alot for BMW to offer as well.

I like the Toronto Red, seriously considered it for a day or so. Looks sharp, especially when its all washed and ceramic coated. Looks wet!

So how much is it going to cost to have it painted eventually? Will you go to BMW or an independent shop?

Looking forward to seeing what comes next. I'm also waiting to see what's coming for the X3M just want everyone to hurry up. Hopefully Akrapovic within the next month.

No pics together yet, but maybe that's a good idea.
