    best bmw grey?

    what would you consider is the best shade of gray that BMW has produced? Ive seen so many between graphite, silver grey, sterling grey, steel grey, space grey, granite silver, granite gray.

    Which do you think is the best and if you have some pics of it, please post!

    thanks

    A friend of mine has a e30 that was painted a color from a 198x Nissan Sentra or something. It looks good, and close to a factory color.

    Grey of the Frozen variety, of course


    It looks good with the normal clearcoat as Space Grey as well. Sterling Grey is also a great choice.

    All the BMW greys are nice

    I think its safe to say that my 02 got the lightest factory Grey. Its called Bristol Grey (code 058). Pretty old and I like the fact that its Grey sometimes and with a hint of blue other times depending on the lighting. I can post up close pics, but I am too lazy at the moment.
