Nardo vs. Telesto...what say ye??

vdvpj · 02-05-2016, 09:57 AM

Telesto for me please! Love that color.

aajami · 02-06-2016, 01:51 AM

We need all the major grays lined up from lightest to darkest in the same shot:

Fashion > Nardo > Medio > Telesto > Gray Black

There are F8x cars in all of these colors on this forum. Make it happen, people.

gvan1998 · 04-29-2016, 04:02 PM

Ahhhh Crap, this one should be on sale by OP soon above MSRP soon. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1219091&page=5

Telesto and Nardo are both awesome. Amir's Telesto F80 is unreal with the HRE's. Great individual build there A++++

Xtabi · 04-29-2016, 05:23 PM

Telesto

Rocnic · 04-29-2016, 08:18 PM

Can anybody with firsthand experience confirm, once and for all, which of these greys are metallic/pearl and which are flat.

Medio
Telesto
Scuro
Grey black

georgere · 04-29-2016, 08:54 PM

Telesto is much better. I think MB has this color available and it is very nice looking. In my head though I cannot pay 5k for a color despite the fact that BMW standard and standard individual colors are just meh.

Syscrusher · 04-29-2016, 10:00 PM

Telesto.

Chez · 04-29-2016, 11:09 PM

Of those 2, I'd go telesto, but I'd take Medio over it.

The D.A. · 04-29-2016, 11:17 PM

I would pick the Telesto. I think the darker shade of silver makes the body stand out more!

cotmfk · 05-01-2016, 08:49 AM

Telesto is the besto.

mshab356 · 05-01-2016, 10:21 AM

Telesto

aaa335 · 05-01-2016, 11:08 AM

Telesto!

Doesn't telesto seem like a glossier MG?

MRG Race Co · 05-05-2016, 01:58 PM

Telesto fo sho! Next Medio. Next Nardo.... Fashion isnt even grey, its green

Agamemnon · 05-07-2016, 01:22 PM

Both of these are awesome colours. If I was shelling out for individual, I would probably go with the Telesto. Buying an M3 was a stretch for me anyway so I stuck with a standard colour which was Silverstone II. Perhaps boring but a safe choice. I'll probably own the car for ten years unless my investment portfolio performs (unlikely these days).

Okay guys, I'm on the fence between a Nardo with Silverstone or a Telesto with Silverstone. Any opinions? It's time for something new.

-Ferrari's Grigio Scuro is a non-metallic color, which individual declined to do for me.
-Grigio Telesto is referred to as "pearl" by BMW, but not by Lamborghini.

I can't speak for the other two colors.
