Brooklyn Grey Metallic M240i

VonB · 01-23-2022, 06:56 AM

Just arrived at the local dealer here in Germany

VonB · 01-23-2022, 07:08 AM

Review I did on it

DrJLag420 · 01-23-2022, 09:10 AM

Thx for this. I was debating between BG with the shadowline trim/black wheels and this with the gold bits/goldish wheels. Gonna go shadowline/black/silver wheels. Decided I’ll get the HP cooling/wheels upgrade.

Try to see one in-person, outside in daylight before you decide to go with BG.

I took a look at one the other day and BG is very different in daylight than in photos.

BEautiful car! I didnt think you were getting them in Europe until March?

e36uulm I haven't seen BG in person yet, but my car is BG. How is it different in sunlight?

Em240eye · 01-23-2022, 11:14 AM

Why has it got the US orange reflectors on the front bumper?

The dealership got it early and it's bright in the sun.

Lightngsvt · 01-23-2022, 11:27 AM

Bright like it changes colors, or the sunlight washes out the color?

It is US spec sold by BMW Military Sales

It changes colors kind of like the Brooklyn Grey on the M3/M4. I'm going to post my M3 next to it for comparison.

Brooklyn Grey Metallic comparison on my M3 to a M240i's.

Lightngsvt · 01-23-2022, 11:40 AM

Your M3 looks great! It looks really good and aggressive next to the M240. The rear end especially is so much nicer on the M3.

Thanks Bro, I appreciate it!

Great photos! I think a CF spoiler would also look good on the 240 in BG.

Lightngsvt It is a much paler shade of gray in bright sunlight; a little washed out and very close to the Mineral White color.

DrJLag420 · 01-23-2022, 03:28 PM

Hummmmmm….looks like I’m gonna have to see it in person. I woulda liked a silver. The purple might rise to the top of my choices if the BG doesn’t play nice with me eyes.
