Dark Graphite Metallic is a brilliant color. My car has a strong metallic titanium/black and slightly "purple-ish" hue with plenty of metallic flakes. After many, many, coats of zymol carbon, auto glym super resin, autoglym high definition wax, and now Pinnacle Sovereign. My car looks like hard candy even when dirty. When its clean its beyond showroom fresh. I also have a clear bra to protect the hood, front side skirts, air dam, side mirrors, head lights and fog lights.
Dark Graphite Metallic aka Sophisto Grau is one of the best colors offered by BMW in my opinion. I took a leap of faith ordering the color sight unseen, couldn't be happier
