I don't think they have two orbit grey colors either. All I know is what I've seen at the dealer with my own eyes on a car with orbit grey wheels, they were dark metallic, not black and they were much darker than ferric. The photo on the first page of this thread is a wheel in Orbit Grey. In the shade they look very dark, at certain angles in the sun they can reflect a lighter color because of the metallic paint.

This is a close up on a Orbit Grey wheel we have at the dealership. This is from a 2015 X5 with the 19" wheels. It looks darker depending on the light. I think it's gonna look great on a Alpine White car.

Is it too many shades of Grey...wheels...mirror caps...diffuser? I always second guess my BMWs when I order them but most of the time end up happy. |

I quite like the color of the 340i wheels. I'm very happy that I opted for them on the EBII M235i that I'll be picking up in Germany in September.

I just purchased a '16 M235 and ordered the Orbit Grey Wheels site unseen, really anxious to see how it looks with the Estoril Blue exterior I ordered...I'm hoping it's pretty dark, if it's the same as what's on that 340 posted above, I think I'll be pretty happy. I wasn't a huge fan of the Ferric Grey color on previous models.

Does anyone know the paint code for Orbit Grey?

Thank you for the reply. It's odd that this paint code is such a secret. After an extensive search and many phone calls, I'm not able to find it either.

I bought some touch up paint from this site. It was a good match. Note additional info at bottom of the page.

""B35" is an exterior paint code, not a wheel paint code. Wheel colors are not coded on the vehicle anywhere and often we do not have any wheel color chips. The best bet is to go to a local auto body supply shop and see if they can determine the color code. Once we know the color code, we can make the paint. There are no guarantees or refunds on wheel colors even if they do not match. We will not remix these paints." |
