I think that brochure is not exactly what will be available in USA. cloth seems doubtful with no leatherette option. and how could BMW NA replace one of its most popular colors - Space Gray, with Mineral Gray?? yuck

Oh my dear lord, it's a shade of grey. They'll offer a dozen, who cares? Where are actual colors?! Thank god for Melbourne and Estoril II.

Have you seen Mineral Gray in person? It's stunning and blows away Space Gray. Space Gray is boring by comparison

Really? Silver isn't a shade of grey? I'd guess that many folks would consider BSM a shade of grey too. Maybe it's a photography background, but I count three colors on that chart that could be called grey. Two more are darn close, with a hint of blue and hint of brown. There are also two shades of white and one or two shades of black depending on your definition. My point is that the current color offering of nearly all cars is boring and grey-centric.

I do own a black car, so I'm partially to blame. I'll also likely buy a white F31.

ok, hopefully I feel the same way when I see Mineral Gray in person.

Grey cars are kind of camoflaged against the road surface. The visibility is poor so I wouldn't mind if it was banned completely.

+1. Space Gray is THE BMW gray, there is no other color like it. But it sucks on the X1, X6 and 1 Series

I'm so suprised that they removed Titanium Silver, that color has been a classic since the E46.
