Hello everyone,

I just placed a deposit down for a BMW I4 e35 model. It’s coming in the following color way:

  • Skyscraper Grey Metallic Exterior
  • Shadowline Exterior Trim
  • Black Perforated SensaTec
  • 19" Bi-color Gunmetal Grey Wheels, Style 855

I’d love to get to know your thoughts on this colorway, if you think the Shadowline works well with the skyscraper andthe Upgraded gray wheels?


If the match isn’t great, then I can always cancel it so please feel free to be honest! I’ve included some 3d pictures of how the car will look as well as how the skyscraper gray looks on a 4 series in person.

I think it looks great. The same exterior I had specked until I decided to add the M-Sport because they added the adjustable suspension back in when I was finalizing. M-Sport=No Skyscraper. I think Skyscraper is the nicest low key exterior IMO. It should be easy to care for too.

I ordered that color and wheels :)
8 more weeks to go... will post some pictures when she's arrived.
I’m getting mine next week, so I’ll do the same! I was heavily debating between skyscraper and tanzanite but ultimately, I thought this was the sleeker/ classier option. The tanzanite though def gives the most sporty look of all the colors imo.

what interior trims and options did you choose on yours?

I don't know why, but the aero covers just don't do it for me...

Not sure it matters if we like it, so long as YOU do. You're the only person here who has to live with it every day that you own it.
Personally, I don't care for any of the offered grays, but to me, Dravit > Skyscraper > Brooklyn, YMMV.

Great build!
I think the 855 wheels look best with Skyscraper gray or white (like all the BMW press photos).
I got the 855 wheels as the 18 inch wheels don't come with all season tires and are a 225 width square in the US.
The 855 wheels look a lot better in person imo. Before seeing them in person, I thought I'd take the aeros off in the first week. Fwiw, I still have them on, but definitely wish it were a little easier to pop them off and on, as I don't like that they shout EV.

Hey thank you so much for your reply!
I actually changed my color to the Tanzanite Blue Metallic and chose the Canberra Beige as my interior (I felt the cognac was a little too dark with the black roof on top). I chose the 855 wheels with it- do you think this combination is still a winner?

I do have the option of changing the wheels, but I need to make the call super soon haha. Do the silver Aeros highlight the tanzanite + Canberra beige interior in your opinion?

Awesome choice on tanzanite. Dravit had to much gold for me and I was torn between tanzanite and skyscraper. I have no regrets going tanzanite (asdid from keeping her clean). I love walking up to a dark blue car and seeing the sparkle when the sun hits it. I don't like two tone anything so I went with the 854s. I murdered out the grill and diffuser. I am about to change my alma mater silver plate frame to something all black.
