Donnington looks great! I've been a huge fan of Space Gray in the past.. this looks like a nice evolution.

I agree. I almost went with Donnington for the X6, but decided to stay true to the Bimmer vision of LBB. No regrets! Although I must admit that I look at all the real pics from COTA to see what it looks like and pray I won't hate it when it arrives. Did I say no regrets!

In some of the OP's pics I can tell the two apart by color, others, I can't, and in still others, I'm not sure if the difference I see is lighting, camera effect, or actual difference.
They are close, but they are both grey. I think grey is a great color on a car. It doesn't even matter too much what shade of grey; they all look nice. I don't think either vehicle looks dated. If I didn't know which one is newer, I couldn't say which is. Enjoy your new truck. All the best.

Shame about the "not taking it part". Seems like a very decent vehicle!

What is the discounted price now? I'm interested if the price is right? I was going to order Mineral White with Aragon Interior, but if price is right I may change and buy this one?

I currently have the 335I Coupe in Space Grey and love the color. I've been on the fence about getting a new 435i because I'm not really partial to any of the exterior colors....except perhaps Mineral Grey.
Is Mineral Grey the same as Donnington Grey? The DG looks like it might be a bit richer. Also, does anyone know if BMW is offering additional exterior colors for 2016? |
