Is singapore grey popular?
Looking at a M6 GC CP , it is singapore grey metallic with black full leather interior.
How popular/favorable is singapore grey? Just thinking about resale. I know its no alpine white on sakhir interior. Just dont want to get stuck with a color that takes longer to sell or brings in less $ compared to other colors, all else being equal (options, conditions, mikeage, etc). Thanks for your feedback |

My car is Singapore Grey, I think it is a nice colour and I'm happy with it, but I would prefer San Marino blue or something else bright, but that is just my personal preference.
I don't think you'd ever find that it is too popular to lower it's value, or so far out there that someone wouldn't want it - it isn't bright yellow or anything!

Black Sapphire and Alpine White are the 2 most popular. I believe Singapore Gray may be the 3rd most popular in the GC configuration.
There IS NO BAD COLOR for the M cars. Depending on when you sell, it's all coming down to maintenance records and condition. I sold my 2008 M3 Sedan for $27k in January...it had 67k miles on it. Yeah...a ten year old car, and the guy flew in from Chicago to buy it. If you took care of the car and can prove it, someone will buy it at top of market pricing |

Yes he did, same day. Took him about 40 hours due to delays routing around mountains and snow.

The car is well optioned, 1 owner, low miles, CPO, and hasnt sold in 55+ days with 2 price reductions ($60k to $57.5k now). Makes me scratch my head, leaning towards the color not being a top choice as everything else is A+

If you like the color, buy it. Never mind what anyone else thinks. When I was shopping for my M6, I had wanted something close to the 'Silver Gray' of the E46 generation, which would have put me into either Silverstone or Singapore Gray. I would have also been more than happy with Black Sapphire. Then I found a loaded (except for CP) M6 Coupe in Sakhir Orange. Not what I was looking for (I tend towards understated colors), but I flew from LaGuardia to O'Hare and drove 750+ miles back to Northeast PA to have her. I'm not regretting it for one second. It's kind of like dating Scarlett Johansson. There were only 2093 F13 M6 Coupes delivered to North America. Ever - for the entire production run. Be lucky enough you found one you like. Condition trumps color. Go for it. |

As I have exactly the same color and interior I love at most the (half) bi-color seats. I know the seats are not really bi-color but it looks awesome. @all, look at your seats who got two colors?

Very nice interior I really like it. Is that ivory white? And are those full merino leather seats? I think such interior goes super with that exterior color (Singapore grey).

The leather called silverstone. It is darker than the ivory and not so sensitive with a slight touch of ....... silver /off white in it.

Thanks for confirming on that guys.
I love that color tone of the leather (Silverstone) as you mentioned it is not as sensitive as for example the Ivory white I have in mine. |

Singapore Grey
I searched for 5 months in California for an M6 Grand Coup in Singapore Grey with black interior on carbon fiber. The best color in my opinion. With black wheels, car looks like it just came off of the track. Should have no trouble with resale.
