Individual Fashion Grey '19 M5

Hey guys!
I sold the first two M5's at my store, so my manager told me to build the third, and here she is! One of my favorite colors ever - saw Fashion Grey for the first time on a Carrera 4 back in like 2008, fell in love with it. Couldn't resist putting it on the M5! Aragon is my favorite interior as well, and honestly it's an interesting contrast looking at the car, but nothing a little tint couldn't fix to keep things a little more separate. I'm in love with it. DA+, Carbon Roof, Black 20's, Exec, Bowers, night vision, etc.

I'm curious to hear what you think. 125k, Think it'll sell?

Hard to say if that's an appealing color. On my monitor the Aragon looks way more orange than it really is, and the Fashion Gray looks like the color of Kaopectate! Color correction is key when posting pics of cars, IMHO.

Right you are! My mirrorless full frame is coming to work with me on Monday to get better photos. These are from the iPhone, just thought I'd share at least what it could see. Will update thread accordingly.

Fashion Grey is a great color.

That does not look like Fashion Grey.

I can assure you it is, however I cannot assure my iPhone did a good job representing it. I'll work on more photos to share!

I believe you. It could be your iphone and/or the artificial lighting screwing up the color cast. The pics look make it look more like "Geyser grey" (as in the 991 below) than Fashion Grey.



FG is a cooler tone of grey, like in the GT3 below, and I've always really liked it. Almost like a lighter shade of Nardo. But that's the problem with all off-whites. In certain lighting -- they look like crap.

The GT3 is fashion gray????

If so, either the iPhone is completely jacked up or there's more than one fashion grey.

But as far as the car in the OP goes, I'd want a more eye popping color than a white/grey hybrid.

Doing google image search - it seems BMW has a different idea of Fashion Grey than Porsche.

The color only works on a wild looking car.

Seems it can go both ways. Definitely not going to spec an Imola Red M5 - but that's just me. To each their own! I wanted to go for a more refined color on such a big body. I'll get it out of the showroom tomorrow and get it in the sunlight 😁

It will be interesting to see - I bet it looks totally different.

I think that black kidney grills and side vent would look good on this.

The pics are pretty representative of Fashion Grey in my opinion. If I had to describe the color, it's a lighter and tanner version of Nardo Grey.

Fashion grey is a fantastic color for these cars. The iPhone and lighting aren't doing any favors for the representation.

Needs a black grille though.

I hate to disagree with everyone here, but that is such a subtle shade of white that is it really worth Individual Color money for it?
