2021 LCI M5 Competition in Hatch Grey [Stunning!]

nyu98 · 09-16-2020, 03:18 PM

Someone help me understand this

So the horizontal blue DRL is only available on Euro laser lights?

Truly magnificent with gloss black...

I believe That's Bernina Grey, in certain angles it looks similar to Davit Grey, It's a standard color on 7 series and just added as a new color on LCI 5 series.

Omg that is sexy AF. I was hoping to hold out for a gently used pre LCI model but f*** that, I'll wait for LCI now. Honestly, comparing this to the Panamera Turbo, AMG E63S and the Audi RS, it just kills them in the overall class it oozes and how it goes around doing it's business with subtlety.

Even the pre-LCI is, imho, better looking in person. The subtle, but noticeable aggressiveness is just classic Munich. I keep saying I may give the G80 a shot when this F80 lease matures next Spring, but every time I see an F90, I'm like, "Yeah, no, I'm getting an F90". The LCI looks just as good in photos, but will have to wait to see one in person. I was thinking maybe a used pre-LCI, but now who knows. Still 7 months away. Either way, I think I'm all in for one. Thanks for sharing this!

I'll take either color, but I agree that DG is bananas, and needs to be seen in person.

While this variations of grey are OK, BMW needs to get more aggressive with their paint colors

Where is the red, yellow, even silver 🤔

Only US don't get those lights, Canada, Asia, they all have it.

antzcrashing · 09-16-2020, 06:34 PM

That color is amazing, reminds me of steel grey

What a shame... Is it because blue lights are illegal? They look 10x better with blue drl's

Germanauto · 09-16-2020, 07:37 PM

Looks nice, but Nardo grey and Fashion grey are the only greys I like. Everything else just makes a car blend in on the road.

I believe you are correct sir!

Check out the pic below. It is the best that I could find in direct sunlight. This color is magnificent!

And this will most likely be the vehicle I grab as my next car. Except for that horrendous bland all black interior...

I believe blue neon is illegal because it's a law enforcement color, maybe that's the same with any blue lighting on the exterior.

I have a 21 on order in DG. I can still change color. Should I switch to BH?

Moopai · 09-16-2020, 10:44 PM

Why is this Hatch Grey is not available on BMW.ca?

Has to be the Hottest Sports Sedan on Earth currently...

Cant go wrong with either 😊

Here's a couple more of mine from today (BH):

themnmd · 09-16-2020, 11:59 PM

Love the car and the color. Shame no laser lights in US. Love them on my M340

freshxdough · 09-17-2020, 01:25 AM

Isnt it a 2021?

Graves · 09-17-2020, 03:20 AM

Absolutely perfect.

PROUDPATRIOT · 09-17-2020, 09:22 AM

I have to admit I am not usually a huge fan of grey/silver cars but I just bought a HG with black/beige interior.

elitex · 09-17-2020, 09:31 AM

I really like this color. I would choose this if i was buying another M5. One thing that still bothers me is that they haven't added leather to the bottom part of the doors. X5M has it, why not M5????

Love it. Reminds me of Mineral Grey which is still one of my favorite, if basic, BMW colors
