Default Graphite Grey Metallic is being phased out

The website doesn't show this yet, but the 2018 Brochure that I received from the dealer last week shows that Graphite Gray metallic (limited availability) is being replaced by Samarai Gray metallic (delayed availability).

Also Layered Walnut trim is no more.

And Ink Blue will be replaced by Galaxy Blue.

Any idea when these new colors may be available? I just placed an order on an ink blue pretige 2 weeks ago, not due in until late sept/early oct. I really like the look of Samurai Gray and would be willing to push back my order if it's only another month or two wait.

Woah, I'm glad I got ink blue. That new blue looks greenish or at the very least much lighter blue than ink blue.

I ordered Ink Blue. Certainly prefer that over Galaxy Blue.

Samurai looks darker than graphite. Nice!

Even though Glacier was my first choice I ended up with ink blue. I’m glad I did since the color has so many different looks. Samurai grey is promising I wasn’t really a fan of graphite grey.

Galaxy blue looks a bit odd. I am interested in seeing what it looks like on the Q7. Personally, I would like to see Imperial Blue Metallic (BMW) on a Q7.

Attached are some pictures of my dad's '14 BMW 328d in Imperial. When we were looking into the Q7, we first wanted an Ink Blue one but the color is a tad too dark for my taste. Looks black in some light.

I want to see one in Graphite Gray. Currently Daytona Gray, which we can't get here, is the only gray I'd think about getting in the future.
