Hopefully you know what I'm talking about... its a medium shade of gray with metallic in it and it just looks like straight sex... I'm trying to pick a color for my wheels and I think that this might look awesome, but I cant figure out which color it is at all.
Thanks in advance for the help...

According to BMW's website, there are a bunch of silver colors available on BMW's. I'm not sure which one you are looking for, but this may help you decide.

Silver Gray Metallic is standard, but there's also Sterling Gray metallic (more of a "gold hue" than a "blue hue"). The paint code for it is A08.
