Mineral Grey E89

Space grey isn't available in the US right now. Here is what the current Mineral Grey looks like. I have more pictures if you want.

Wheels are 276.

Very nice!

Are the pics close to what it looks like in real life?

If I go with another Z4 when my lease runs out it may just have to be mineral grey. I hope they bring back the white interior (without that brown or golden or whatever stripe across the dash).

Depends on your monitor I have a couple more pictures, ask in pm if you like.

The color is different than what I imagined based on a M3 I saw at the dealer when I picked MG. It is a bit darker than I thought and a bit on the warm side. No regrets, just different. It looks a lot better than the sapphire black I drove for testing.

It is dark enough that a bit of dust layer is already visible. However, my alternative was mineral white and that would already look like oink.

Tomorrow it's winter wheel time and new pics.

I highly recommend the E89, BTW. I couldn't find a 4-series 'vert I liked from how it drove. And the E89 has a pretty reasonable trunk for a roadster.

That's funny, I think I first saw the color 'for real' on a M3 or M4 at a drive event.

My current one is Melbourne; and I too can see a layer of dust what seems to be maybe a day after washing when I sit in it... Must be the low driver position and angle. Can't see it from the outside, though. Still, difficult to resist the urge to wash it more often than is really necessary

Thanks for sharing OP. MG looks nice on the Z4. Reminds me a bit of the sparkling graphite from my old E90

Link?

I have my winter wheels on now and I serious consider never mounting the original wheels with the stupid runflats ever again.

Considering getting a summer wheel/tire set and turn in the lease with no curb rash

Suggestions welcome. How about the orange BBS wheels?

Love the color. I have Space Grey.
Also looks like BMW FINALLY changed the lower outside grill insert color from the (ugly) Silver to Body color? The cross bar in sliver is s nice contrast.
However I already painted mine lower grill inserts to match the body color.
