Anyone not happy they got Donnington Grey?

mswaz · 07-13-2019, 07:05 AM

My '18 X5M was donington on black. Loved it. This time around I went with bluestone in full Aragon. Might be loving it more

I have had DG & now SPG. DG is awesome & absolutely looks the business. Shows lines the best; choice color and is almost swirl proof. Absolutely get Aragon hands down!!. it’s a very sporty brown. SPG in the sun looks purple/green/bluegray... it has a lot of depth. At night its almost black.

I concur with both these gents. I admit, I'm a little lazy about washing my car, but the DG hides the dirt better than any other color.

Yup, I'm with you guys, too… it's my favorite non-frozen color.

In this albeit foggy pic, she's actually filthy from melted snow/slush and mud but it doesn't show.

Oy Limey! That's a dirty girl, but she hides it well! Lol

Honestly don't mind DG but it's a little boring, so I wrapped my car in a satin color that resembles snapper rocks blue and when it's time to take the wrap off I'll go back to the low key color life.

Honestly don't mind Crayola blue but it's a little… you know.

Love it!

I like DG since it does not really stand out, hides dirt and looks good. No “hey, look at me” colors for me and I don’t hand wash my car every week, but it looks good when I do clean it up.

Maverik259 · 06-29-2021, 12:21 PM

didn't choose mine. Wanted SG. but once i took off all the chrome, i like it alot! especially since i'm too lazy to clean every week. With the ceramic coating it looks pristine week to week. Now i only clean the car when i can't stand the look of my dirty black rims.

I think my favorite "frozen" color is the DG wrapped in satin PPF. stunning.

Agreed. Assuming I go for another bimmer, that'll be the route I take. Frozen Dark Silver is close but, side-by-side, I think the matte DG would still look better.

SG over Aragon

Agreed. Plus the added benefit of ppf haha.

Very happy with DG. Looks clean even between washes. People always comment “liquid metal”. My old E39 was silverstone so I almost went with bluestone as it reminded of that nostalgia. Snapper catches the eye amazing but a little too much attention for my taste.
