Nardo vs. Brooklyn

For those interested in comparing the colors...

Nardo and BGM are really close from certain angles, but the difference is hard to see in pics. Nardo has a green tinge, and BGM is more blue.

To confirm, is your car the nardo or the brooklyn gray one? Without knowing the difference between them, hard to know which is which lol. The "my nardo brother" is really what confused me seeing as people say brooklyn is more blue.

I hate how BMW markets the colors so that the base x3's can get some colors like the Brooklyn grey

Part of the reason I went with a sig color.... but if I had to do it again I would get something with more pop. Grey is dull

I'd personally go for Grigio Telesto if I were going for this color palette. Not an x3, but an x5m photo for reference, courtesy of r33_RGSport

I just feel like all the car manufacturers are chasing Nardo and BMWdealers are spec'ing Brooklyn in any model they can order it in.
