Dark Graphite Metallic
Did a brief search to find some member pics, but I've yet to see any Dark Graphite F15's here on the boards. I haven't seen one in person, but from what I've seen online, it seems to be a beautiful color!
Anybody have some pics to show off?

I would have considered it and also like imperial blue but not allowed with msport which was a requirement to me, so no Option to get either of those.

True, I figured that was one of the reasons for the color not being very common.

gpjustinn I think it looks great, here in Houston (tx) I'm not a big fan of darker colors just because the amount of sun (heat) we get... If id lived up north somewhere that would be a color id consider for sure. Not so sure if the weather is so much different where you life |

I have a Dark Graphite Metallic. It's cool. Sorry my car is in airport parking, so no pics.

I have one, which my wife drives daily. As said upthread, it's a nice balance between black and grey.

Found these on my phone, before I installed running boards.
Found the ones with best lighting, so you can see the color under the sun. Otherwise it's bit difficult to see if it's black or dark gray. Like I said earlier, I quite like the color. |

I honestly wanted this color when I was building my X5 but two things made me not get it.. When I checked out the color at the dealer lot, it was very close to black, so scratches, swirls, and dirt will probably show up easily.. and no Msport line.

I was afraid of this as well, especially since the disaster of buying my wife a black car. I am extremely meticulous when washing cars and have not had any problems with swirls. However when you do get a surface scratch due to the jackass carrying his skiis, it is very noticeable. I just made my second trip to the dealer for a quick polish.
