Comparison: Donnington Gray 2015 X5M and Space Gray 2013 X5M

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
The truck I ordered came in this morning and I was able to go down and take some comparison shots between my current 2013 X5M and the new one side by side. The new color is really nice, I like it a lot. Much lighter more pewter satin color to it than Space Gray. These are iphone pics but I think you can really see the differences. I always thought my current car still looked cool. But sitting side by side it does look dated now. My car is pretty dirty from rain water and I asked them not to detail the new one as I don't like dealer washes on my cars but you all can get the idea.

Interior is black extended, one nice thing is on the new one the upper dash and upper doors are now leather without the full leather option. Nice touch. Carbon trim looks awesome though I love the carbon leather in my current.

I drove the car but will give my impressions on that a bit later.

I didn't take any shots of the interior. It looked nice but we've all seen the seats and in black there is nothing too special. I can take some later

Man those X5M's need a power dome! Looks like another variant of gray.

Thanks for the comparison photos! Looks like Donington Grey is more silver than Space Gray. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of the X5M once you drive it.

Congrats, looks awesome, love that color. Comparison really shows, even in cell pics, how different it is from space gray.. I thought the same when we got our F15 about the E70 looking dated now. I almost got another one (I had an '07 that was long gone and I missed it), then saw the F15 and knew I would regret getting the out going model once the F15's were on the road..

Congrats again, good luck with it.

I love it. It's very close to Space but has a bit more metal flake and silver to it. Nicest gray I've seen.

That colour on the new X5M is just crazy. Probably the best color BMW made on the X5. Enjoy it to the max

Thanks for the side by side pics. More than anything else I've seen, these give a great sense of the color (especially as my last 2 cars were Space Grey). I'm beyond jealous as you picked the same color combo I did and now this next month is going to be even more difficult!

Looking forward to your driving impressions...please do share!

Awesome comparison pictures, there is no going back to E x5m now. F85 is much more refined, and next gen, and they really nail it on the new metallic color. Congrats on your new M! Subtle head turner for sure! =)
