Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Just picked up my new daily driver. Replacing my 2013 honda accord. Been a hondaphile until now. I'm absolutely in love.

The sales associate I worked with was awesome. The dealership I went to was awesome. No pressure sales at all. They worked hard to get me exactly what I want.

yanks1 · 01-30-2022, 07:23 AM

Best of luck, looks awesome and love the color & wheels!!!!

DriftKing860 · 01-30-2022, 07:27 AM

Sweet color combo. Wouldn't change a thing. Hows the HK stereo system?

DrJLag420 · 01-30-2022, 07:29 AM

Nice! I’ve been looking at Brooklyn Grey. Those pics make it look beautiful. Enjoy!

drpie · 01-30-2022, 08:20 AM

Beautiful; enjoy it !!

e36uulm · 01-30-2022, 08:44 AM

looks lovely, congratulations!

M_85 · 01-30-2022, 08:45 AM

Looks sexy as hell man. Congrats brotha and good luck 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Lightngsvt · 01-30-2022, 09:04 AM

that's a great-looking car! Mine will look like yours, except it has cerium trim and wheels. It looks at lot more gray in your night pics, than in most of the day pics I've seen. Seems BG kind of changes color based on lighting. When did you order?

The color is a bit dynamic, but not as much as the photos make it seem. In photos, i've seen colors for BG range from almost white to pastel blue. However, it's pretty much straight grey with slight differences based on the warmth of the light.

I ordered this at the end of Nov.

mattryan · 01-31-2022, 09:48 AM

Looks great I ordered the same colour combo!

zipstic · 01-31-2022, 03:01 PM

Congrats! That's a great color combo.

Post some pictures of the interior when you get a chance!

n55f15 · 01-31-2022, 06:04 PM

I have the same spec on the way, looks great! tubingchamp changed my mind from getting a 340

Right on!! Looks fantastic.

WXdrivefun · 01-31-2022, 10:46 PM

Congrats!, great colour with red! and I see you opted for the 360 camera with the adaptive radar cruise! That option is hard to find in reviews and in stock at dealerships. Use that to your advantage!

You know what, after today, I noticed that in warm light, it actually comes off as blue quite a bit.

I got this exact color combo and seeing these pictures has solidified my choice, I was teetering between blue or grey and grey looks so nice imo. I've also already had a blue car and wanted to try something different.

yanks1 · 02-01-2022, 09:18 AM

Congrats & looks great...You have std tires size?? I selected staggered Perf tires with 255 in rear so wondering if will look wider
