Concept X6 Color name?

[AlexeyCh]

Dear all,

Does anybody know color name for Concept X6 shown in Frankfurt?

I could only assume Diopside Black or Jerez Black? Another version is Ruby Black, but I am note sure, Ruby Black seems more red.

Thanks an advance,
Alexey

Whatever it's called I LOVE IT! I thought it was more of a dark metallic gray than black

Not sure but here are some real life Jerez black M3 pics. Jerez has both green and blue/purple flakes with deep metallic finish. May be Scott can fill us on that.

Thanks!

Just found real life photo Diopside Black M5. It looks quite close to X6'
color, but I am still not sure

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new member, but have been reviewing this forum for quite sometime since my next car will be either the X5 or the new X6.

Now to my question:

Was this question resolved? i.e. Concept X6 Color name?
At the same time, I have not seen these wheels on any of the production vehicle pictures. They look similar to the 19" ones sometime seen on the X6 35i!

JGQ, Here are a couple of pic's of the wheels you mentioned in your post.I've seen very few X6's w/ this style wheel around town or at the plant.This wheel is the standard wheel on the base 35i X6.I talked w/ two SE US dealers in the last wk,one in Charlotte,NC and another in Atlanta.Both told me they are ordering all "For Sale" X6's w/ the Sport Package which comes w/ the "Y" spoke wheels.Both dealers told me the Sports Package is a "No Brainer" their words,not mine in the case of the X6.Given it's "Sporting " pretensions,they think the Sports Package is a natural w/ the X6.Thanks.

CS Concept has always been displayed in Chrome Shadow color only . We use this color exclusively on our most special concepts. Sophisto Granite color has been never used on CS! Always a Chrome Shadow , you've been tricked by the play of light.

Sophisto Granite is the color featuring on the X6 Concept.
Production F01 and F01 7-series will be offered in this color. Perhaps later the color may be offered on other models as well (eg. on X6).

Thanks, Scott. Was waiting for you to chime on this thread.
But its a big difference if its always the same color on CS. The CS release pics (Shanghai) are much lighter color than the one at NY auto show.
