Nardo even works on Scions and Minis these days!
Not a fan. Its not white, it's not gray. Just looks dirty...
At last, someone to agree with me.

Sorry, great car but rubbish colour.

I for one love BMW´s colours and think Audi´s look dull. Lack depth, look like wraps.

That said, this M5 doesn´t look bad minus the carbonfiber fangs. Still would prefer some deeper, more premium looking colour.

Idk why people are losing their marbles over a gloss grey paint. I mean when audi did it it was new but they all copied it since. Civics. Minis. Skodas ffks! Its not original any more and its 5k!


And this car is so fussy in its design, a dark metallic gray works better on it. And best ones seem to be in dark blue metallics.

I mean its alright. It is not amazing.

Love nardo but it is true that almost every other car company has this color now. I've seen a few jeeps, scions, fords all with nearly the same color and they didn't have to pay 5K for it lol

One issue i noticed with nardo after looking at cars at the NYIAS was how much it showed swirl marks. Almost every audi at the show was this color and all i kept seeing was all the swirls... Need PPF for sure if i got this color.

BMW offers BRG and one other green if I'm not mistaken.

For others who doubts Comp package - well you haven't driven a M5 in all likelihood. Even without tracking the car, it's worth it. After living with a F10 M5 Comp I can say that definitively.

Sorry, Whats M Studio? I see you are in NYC and I asked BMW of Manhattan.
It's the M studio outside Munich. If you want to do something truly special with your build, best to speak with them, even better visit them, than trying to do it through your dealer. Dealer gets no extra benefit from doing a special request and instead it's tones of hassle for him / her. So if you really want to go "individual" with your car, speak with M Studio directly.

Is that possible if you're in the US though?

Key word bro .......it’s the the best color I’ve seen .....key word I. I like the color on the Audi and on the lambo, and it looks better than the other BMW colors. Who cares if it’s 5k ......the car it’s north of 110k not sure 5k is a decision point.

Totally Spot On with the "fussy" in the design. Doing paint research for an upcoming build and jesh...I think your right about Dark Metallic Greys.

Audi Lambo grey is nicer, darker. The BMW color is a little too light, fleshy grey color, it looks more dirty white then lighter black so to speak. I feel they all copied audi by changing the shade and Audi got it right because they were first, and they planned it. Others are reacting.

Mineral gray in person on the F80 looks fantastic with SO interior. I wasn't a fan of gray until I saw one in person. But nardo gray seems too bland. Maybe in person it looks better, but I can't imagine it being worth an extra 5k on any car.

Nardo Grey

Killer paint color especially with Black rims! Love it!

This would be a second choice after Frozen Black.

Love mineral grey as well on the M4. But why do we have to pay an extra 5k for it on the M5??

I'd like a decent silver that doesn't have brown in it (donington or rhodonite) or too much blue in it (silverstone). Porsche's GT Silver is spot on for me.

Agreed. I thought the same about Le Mans blue when I wanted it on my F82. Even though it was used in the past on their 3 series, for some reason it would cost 5k extra on the damn F82.
