Yes, but unfortunately the pics are in black and white. You can see that the optional color will be darker, but you really can't tell much. We ordered the optional wheels on the basis of those pics, hoping that we will be able to see what they really look like before it's too late to change the order.

Thank you. Still very difficult to tell what that shade of grey is. Sort of looks like it might be similar to what BMW calls "anthracite" on the Mini's. Not sure how those wheels are going to look on our metallic black convertible with black roof. Hopefully there will be better pictures available soon.

No Problem
I'm hoping they come out with the 2016 2 series configurator soon. I am ordering an Estoril Blue m235i and am planning on getting the orbit grey, although that may change when I see it on the configurator. My allocation isn't until August, so I have plenty of time to change my mind.

Guys! on the picture that Grey looks very dark. But if you look for the Orbit Grey wheels BMW are using on the 2016 Special Edition 435i ZHP Package you can have an idea. I ordered my in Alpine White with the Orbit Grey wheels and I can't wait tbh.

I think you mentioned that before, but I can't seem to find any photos of the wheels you are referring to.

I've googled that model, the photos I've seen do not look like the Orbit Grey color that I've seen on other two tone BMW wheels which is much darker. If they are calling it Orbit Grey then either they have a double standard color or it is a typo.

Hopefully we will get a better idea once the 2016 configurator is up. Based on past years, one would think it should be any day. Interesting that you can build an M235 xdrive convertible (new for model year 2016) on some other countries' websites, but they don't show an optional wheel color being available. Maybe the optional wheel color is just for North America?

This is the real Orbit Grey color... I don't know why it's so dark on the online configurator.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The configuator shows the orbit grey wheels to be very dark on the 4 series too. But the pictures you attached don't look that different from the standard ferric grey. How do you know that the photos you attached are really orbit grey? I don't want to sound like I'm challenging you, I just don't want to be surprised when we go to pick up the car, and soon I won't be able to change our order. Thanks.

The wheel color of the above examples of the 435i with orbit grey do not look like the same color of the two tone BMW orbit grey wheels that I've seen on the lot. They are kind of a charcoal metallic color and quite a bit darker than ferric grey. The above examples of orbit grey look more like ferric grey to me.
