Glacier Silver (both 30i & M40i) Pics please!!

Seeing as I just saw a thread requesting Phytonic Blue - let's see one for Glacier Silver and accompanying mods from different forum members I'll be sure to post mine in towards the end of January when it arrives....(sigh).

I just recently got her and haven't had any good photo op's yet...just these fuzzy pics so far. I was on the fence between the Silver and Gray but that graphite is too dark for me. Donnington would've been perfect!

That's beautiful....X3 and scenery. That must have been an amazing drive. Did you use the ADA (active driving assistant) much? If you did, how was it?

Thanks! The drives around here are pretty spectacular. I use ADA sometimes....mainly I use the adaptive cruise control, but not the full ADA because I find the steering wheel reminder a bit annoying. I prefer to drive the car myself (especially on an engaging road), but towards the end of the trip when I'm getting a bit tired, I switch on ADA and tune out a little bit.

Loving the thread. Glacier silver was my first choice and then the dealership brought out dark graphite (my actual car) for me to test drive and I had to have it.

And it's for this very reason I have refused to go to the dealership. They might come out with an M40i for me to test drive and I might magically forget about my current build in production....lol

This was a close second choice colour for me. Think it looks great with individual tartufo leather. I'm a sucker for black cars though...

I’m really liking the combo. I’ve had many silver cars and have always appreciated how low-maintenance the color is. I originally worried the cognac interior would only look good with the darker colors, but it matches with the silver quite well.

Yup thus far, in SoCal, I think I'm the only person who has this combo (on the forums) Lol.

@SROC3 Nice looking car! I would have picked silver if they did not offer the Phytonic Blue! Cognac interior is nice and IMO works with any exterior color (I think it works best with blue though but of course I'm biased)

I see that you already have black fender vents installed. Black trims look great on white and silver but I don't think they would work as well on blue
