Not me! To my eye, it's just Capital-G Gray. The gray you'd find if you looked up "gray car" in the dictionary. The gray you'd find on a Hyundai Accent or Honda Accord. The most generic gray that has ever grayed.

My preference is just that and is not a criticism of what other people like, but Grigio Telesto is decidedly NOT for me.

so what color would you choose for your m2 instead? (hypothetically of course)

[Squidget]

In a perfect world? Laguna Seca, IOMG, or any of the deep metallic blues.

Of the existing options, Voodoo Blue. Would also take Zandvoort.

Java Green is a little much for me, but would love IOM or San Remo.

[Bimmerfun82]

I like it. To me it tones down the boxy look and reminds me of the classic space grey look.

[mynameisnick4]

I would have taken it over Brooklyn Grey if it were available at launch.

[///M TOWN]

It’s more earth tone than grey

Almost green in color

It’s vibrant

[DS_BMW]

Skyscraper is nicer and it will only cost $650 instead of $5,600.

[Dixie12]

You can't discuss over colours but I love Grigio Telesto ....

[Mhrob24]

I like it a lot, but it’s complete BS it requires getting CF roof. I’m going with skyscraper grey…

[DrewNewM2]

I don’t think it looks great in the g87 video and looks better with black wheels. The official Grigio Telesto G80 thread has some really nice looking cars. It is a trendy grey though, just like Brooklyn Grey. Lots of car makers using similar colors.

I get what you mean about trendy grey, however, I don’t think it falls into that category the same way Brooklyn grey does.

Lamborghini started Grigio telesto nearly two decades ago, and it has stood the test of time in my opinion.

Brooklyn grey (and other brand equivalents) is definitely trendy, hasn’t been around for very long, and is literally EVERYWHERE on the road. We don’t yet know how it will age, but it’s a shade which has saturated the market and I think will eventually be less desirable.

Looks great! Does not look $3000 great.

[Legit]

I love the color. But it is not $6000 great...to select individual paint you MUST option out the CF roof. many people want the roof but many also don't (My Zandy 24 M2 does not have it)

I can understand that. Really sucks that we get basically double charged for the CF roof compared to countries that have the steel roof standard, but CF is a must for me. I am very tall and need the headroom (5' 8") .

is it really that short without CF roof? (5’10”)

[dand52261]

6’ here, no carbon roof and it’s fine. Sunroof is mandatory for me

[Ronin76]

Not into grey cars. They are all over the roads now. Grey, black, white, and silver…they all blend in. If that is what you are going for (and I totally understand if you are) that’s fine. I am wanting to be a little different this time around .

I was being sarcastic; I'm not nearly tall enough to worry about headroom but I just like the CF roof. I'm sure the novelty has worn off for many who've owned M carbon roofs before, but I haven't had one yet. My M235i's sunroof doesn't get much use anyway.

After 9 months I still love my CF roof. Last two cars had sunroofs and I rarely used them.
