not to change the subject but I am looking at the liquid metal grey = Canadian equivalent of AG and PG vs. BO.

Which is the darker of the 2 greys between AG and PG.
I've looked at a zillion pics of each but there are none of them side by side. How purplish does the AG get?

 

AG has that purple'ish-pinkish hue to it, I done like it at all

 

AG is not really purple. I got suckered. The dealer showed me the prototype pics printed from the computer when I pre-ordered my car. It is more of a dark silver with a slight irridecense. I am not a silver car fan either. Yes they look good when they are clean and shiny, but I have owned a lot of silver cars and didnt want another.

AG is better than PG though. AG is mostly what they use in all of their advertisements.

BO is the way to go if you know how to take car of it and don't mind spending your weekends on your car. Definitly sexy! Like black ice! Looks crappy as hell if you don't keep it clean.

 

You aren't happy with your AG colour?
Fact is I am realistic. I am 40 father of 2 kids. I live in Canada where our winters go from late November until Late March. We get lots of snow/ slush in winter and a fair bit of rain in spring and fall.
While the black is sexy, I do not see me devoting the time neded to make it look that wayall the time. So if it will only look nice 1-2d after each wash then that is not good for me. Ag and Pg should hide the winter slop better too.
Seems in certain light the 2 coours look almost identical. Is the AG a draker colour overall? Is it truly identical to the liquid metal grey version in Canada ( colour code k57). Is the purplish hue visible or is it an effect of photography in bright conditions. I have only seen the AG in person twice. one indoors at dealer and once on overcasst day and truth be told i never saw the purple hue.
I like a dark grey color and am hoping THe AG fits the bill.

 

^^^^ our canadian winter plus black sucks but i think it is worth it

 

PG all the way

 

so seems most people on here prefer PG over AG. Are there any quality side by side pics?

 

Between work (psrking outdoors for work too) and the kids I dont see the time comitment of cleaning and detailing it so often. Also am ordering th eAWD model do you think black with the non sport body will still look as good?

 

oh ya it will look as good the non-sport bumper is nice too.

 

any basic mods window tinting u recommend? hoping to take ownership in next ten days
Have deposit on AG but cans til change to the PG or BO

 

lies..

go with BO.. i got it and when u detailed it, no other colors can compare!!

 

I will get AG.

 

What part of canada you from? You willl want a tint job but the % is up to you depends what you like. You can go a bit lighter if you have the dark interior. As well a cheap and easy mod is changing the interior lights to led's cool white is a good color to go with give the car a really nice look at night and it don't look like your 16 with blue led's everywhere just 100% better than the yellow lights in the car now.

 

am in Montreal.
going graphite interior.
really on the fence boutcolours. i lved the old grey from the previous gen coupe.
Now they gone and split hairs with 2 overly similar colours.
I originally was looking 335xi coupe and like the space metal grey and figured the AG was closest
