Nardo Grey X3MC LCI

goldfz8 · 05-07-2022, 09:24 AM

Hello, After many months of waiting i have finally received this beautiful beast. Pictures do not do it justice and I cant take a photo to save my life so im sorry about that. 400 miles in 3 days and I am over the moon with how great it is.

Beautiful, so much nicer than brooklyn grey.

spta97 · 05-07-2022, 10:47 AM

I wasn't even aware of this color - how do you get to the individual colors on the configurator?

Really nice - you are a braver man than I parking on NYC streets...I won't even take mine to the city

Yup, It tells you what color you can put on your build. I wanted grey and being a queens man for 25 years brooklyn grey was out of the question lol.

It would be interesting to see it side by side with Brooklyn Grey, as they look similar to me. Not suggesting you hunt one out, but I was expecting it to be less shiny.

Thanks for the link!

Hard to pick a color not seeing it in person I would imagine.

Congrats! Looks insane. That is way cooler than BGM, every X3 3.0 in Cali is BGM nothing special about that color. Nardo is next level!!!!

I changed my original order from BGM to MBB for that very reason.

goldfz8 · 05-07-2022, 12:44 PM

Thanks!!! I agree i feel there are way to many BGM all over

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing! I've always liked Nardo and if we'd have opted for Individual, it was one of the colors we were considering as well. I'm not a Photographer either but here are two of your images cropped and brightened a bit which might provide even more perspective.

missed one

spta97 · 05-07-2022, 06:20 PM

Nardo is much nicer looking! I like how it is more of a true grey without the blue undertones.

Nice job!

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 05-08-2022, 02:27 AM

Nardo is a superb color & a cloudy overcast day is a perfect day to take some nice photos of it...

What's up with the graveyard photo shoot?

danniexi · 05-11-2022, 06:52 AM

couldn't tell too much of a difference when looking at the solo pics but the difference between nardo and the brooklyn grey x4m is absolutely striking! now i understand why you went individual. the car looks gorgeous. well done!
