I suspect also, as you say, that up close and personal the Individual paint will look exceptional.

totally agree:

(1.) OP got the exact car he wanted for a fair price to him

(2.) Why oh why do people whine about paint cost? Its 95% of what you see everytime you see your fecking car

(3.) When did this forum become the Miser's Guide to Car Buying?

Is anybody here looking for ways to spend their car dollar smarter?


I thought the whole point of the forum was a celebration of the personality disorders that cause us to spend ridiculously.

* Carbon fiber mirror caps? good move!
* $10,000 exhaust? the only sensible choice!
* i don't have laser tail lights! Reasonable complaint.

As far as I'm concerned $7.5K for this paint is a steal! Ha Ha BMW, you got played!

Anyone who thinks this looks the same as mineral grey has gotta be color blind. One is a metallic paint, one is not.

Amazing color choice...

Porsche really gets you with their options. Seriously need to add 25% more to the base price to really get a decent car from them (not something totally vanilla). But gotta love Porsche. Best brand out there

Other pics of mineral gray are much lighter than those you chose to post. IMO this Grigio telesto is darker and wetter than mineral gray.

You have to park these cars next to each other and use the same camera to get an appreciation for the difference. Using photos from a different camera in dark lighting aren't going to give a good comparison. To me this is darker than mineral gray but not quite as dark as the M5/6 Singapore gray.

But as others have said, the OP got the car of his dreams and is one of a kind. The 5k paint is just an extra 50-100 bucks a month on the payments I see no issue with the decision.

Tell me about it. I recently ordered a 991 GTS and ended up with "only" $11K worth of options

Thank you to everyone.

I won't have the car back for better pics until the end of this coming week. By then I should have most of the mods done and will take some better pics.

But Take my word for it. It doesn't look like MG in person.

Fantastic car! I've had the S, Carrera 4s, Turbo S, and now the GT3. You can't go wrong with any of them! And the GTS is supposed to be amazing!

You have a sick stable. I really dig the grigio telesto and I would probably try to get it if I were going for a gray.

Murci in Grigio Telesto.

To be fair, it changes color in the sun vs inside a garage.
