    Do you own a Steel Gray or Sterling Gray Z3?

    Both are great colors, but I'm trying to find out how common each color is.

    I suspect there are more Steel Gray cars out there, but if you own or previously owned one, please take part in the poll so we can have a better idea as to the relative numbers.

    Hmmm, sounds like you're describing Steel Gray to me.

    Yeah, Tommy, I had a little bit of a dilemma because I briefly owned a steel gray Z3 a few years ago. Now I have a Sterling Gray. I voted Sterling Gray since it's the car I own now.

    A little late to the party on this. Just bought a 2000 Steel Grey Z3 with 42K miles. Our old ride was the same year & color combination, but had 128K miles.

    Just bought a 2001 2.5i to replace my dearly departed '98 1.9 (hunter green). I'm still somewhat amazed by how much flop this paint color has! The color seems to change with the weather and time of day.

    Thought steel gray was an S54 only color but I'm seeing mention of the color on other models. What gives?
