IndyRon, I live in Los Angeles, it does not get very dirty here. It really does not show alot of dirt when it is dirty though, kinda like a silver car not showing the dirt. Does that make sense?

Platinum gray has green and blue flakes. It looks different, lighter or darker, based on lighting. Here are some pics to help you. I did not find the bright sunlight pics as the sparkling bronze above but have some close-ups.

If rans09vert can post some close-ups, like the bumper and hood pics I posted below, it will be good comparison for you.

The sparkling bronze will hide dirt and look cleaner. But I think I am leaning toward the gray.

Sparkling Bronze for ME!

Thanks for posting the pics, I ordered my Sparkling Bronze X5 40d two weeks ago without seeing the car in the flesh in that colour. You have confirmed to me that its the right choice it looks fantastic!! What colour is the leather? I've ordered Tobacco Nevada leather.

Biggest advantage of PG is it matches the brake dust perfectly. I used to clean my wheels constantly with my '08 Monaco Blue..now only once a week.
