Space Silver

Hello,
Would anyone have a picture of the U11 in Space Silver? I didn't find anything on the web, except on the configurator.
Thanks!

I was just about to ask the same question. I've spend some time searching for "Space Silver Metallic" but came up with nothing so far....

That color is not even going into production until this month, so I'd be surprised if there is a live example.

apparently the new color, Space Silver Metallic, is also available
on the 2023 BMW i7 xDrive60... but the only picture I could find
was this: (seems to have a very light hint of mint green?)

this picture is from another post. I can't tell what color it is, but I don't think there are any X1 colors that look like that, except maybe the space silver metallic? (the frozen grey is the only one that looks close, but the paint on this one is polished and very shiny, so can't be the frozen paint?)

Thanks!
while over at the BMW dealer the other day, I wondered over to the next building, which was their Mini dealership. I was trying to see if they had the "Melting Sliver III" color Mini on their lot.

Apparently that color does not start production until November. Sounds familiar? Well, yes, the BMW X1 Space Silver Metallic also does not start production until November. Why is this important? Because Mini's "Melting Silver III" and BMW's "Space Silver Metallic" are the same color. They have the same color code, C67.

according to some French paint company, C67 has two names(BMW Space Silver and Mini Melting Silver III)

found this picture from a Mini owner forum in Germany:

I'm in the mood for something different and subtle, and this is the way I'm going to go with the U11.

currently, only three BMW products have the Space Silver color, code C67: the 2023 X1, 2023 i7 and the Mini Cooper(under a different name, Melting Silver III)

merci beaucoup!

I'm trying to picture what it will look like without the M Sport package bumpers/sides. (just X-Line trim)

oh. wait a minute... I noticed that the trim around the windows and the roof rails are not like painted black like in the US. I guess in Europe you can order the M Sport package without the "Shadowline exterior trim" around the windows and roof rail?

salesman just called me this morning.... the Space Silver X1 that one of his customers ordered finally got underway. should arrive at the dealership in about 2 weeks, hopefully before Christmas. Can't wait to see it in person.

(which will give us a chance to change our minds, since the two that my family ordered, both Space Silver, won't be here until early February)
