Not sure what colour that would have been. Is Graphite blue quite dark, the only blue in the standard list of colours in the blue I have which is far from dark.

Looked very similar to this colour. I should have taken a photo...

Ah that will be Storm Bay. My initial choice as it’s a very light kinda primer grey. It does change a lot depending on light and in dull light I felt it looked quite flat. Also can take on an almost lilac shade at times. Can look great thought as well in good lights

I think both colours look good. :) The light must have suited Storm Bay yesterday morning, as to my eyes, it gave the car a very cool 😎 appearance, and it went very well with the red leather seats. Nice car. 8-)

Yep can look very good but my dealer had a demo lower range 1 Series in that colour and an X1 both of which looked really flat to me when I saw them on dull days. I have seen pics of M135i in Storm Bay that do look good but ultimately I’m happy with my blue and bringing a nice bit of colour to the roads. It’s so bright that it actually makes my Sapphire GTS look quite a dull blue parked beside it.
