Rhodonite Silver M5 Competition

Hey folks,

I'm getting the itch to get back into a M5 after my F10 Moonstone M5 Comp. Rhodonite Silver caught my eye on configurator. Has anyone seen it or has real life photos to share here? Haven't been to the dealer yet.

Might look for a used one as well given how quickly these cars are depreciating...

Here you go. It is certainly silver but also has somewhat of a cream tone to it as well.

This is a 2020 M5C

Thanks! Realized I should have searched for Rhodonite as well on forum!
I like the traces of light pink in it and really like it. I loved how Moonstone on my last M5 played in the sun. Seems like this color will as well. Fed worth checking out.

Same day, here's my Bluestone 530e next to my Donington M5C for more comparison. The Rhodonite is in the furthest car in the background on the top pic below. You can see here and from my earlier pic the Rhodonite is lighter.

I have seen that color in person and it's very bland. I would go with Donnington Grey or Bluestone.

I have a rhodonite silver. I like it. Classy. Very very similar to Donnington but with a very faint touch of pink, as you say. Given the up charge vs Donnington I’d probably want to save the dollars in the future but nonetheless, I like the color very much.

I agree, the upcharge vs. Donington doesn't seem worth the cost. Also consider that is an individual color so it may add time your order if there isn't a lot in line for the same color when you go into production.

I also thought the lines in Donington were more apparent and aggressive. I love Bluestone to be honest but after having that for a while I wanted a change.

Rhodonite silver should be a standard color.

Donington gray is also a really nice color. I think I have to find a rhodonite and see it in person.
Thanks

I remember your Moonstone when you picked it up, nice build btw.

What happened to it?

Exactly. I have the Donington but the Rhodonite is beautiful as well and the silver just looks really "rich" and intense. Can't go wrong with either.

If i had to pick a bmw color to get for m5c it would be hockenhiem silver from the m2c. That color in person is amazing!

I agree pics don't do the color justice once u see it in real life its really a badass color almost like a dark liquid silver.

Its a great color. I ordered my 2020 Rhodonite in Oct and received it in Jan, looking on the "build your own" BMW site today and this color is no longer listed as available. I think i got a rare one here.

I think it is an individual color, so may not show up on BMW's Build your own website.

It may be now, but when I ordered mine is was one of the four or five $1950.00 color options and I liked it so much I thought it was well worth that. Probably one of the $5K individual colors now, since its removed from the front color order options.

Rhodonite is a Priority 1 Color for $1950. Not the same as a custom order Individual color for $5000. Sometimes they take some of them off the build your own website around February late in the production year.
