I'm torn - love your car/color in pics but then at times (other cars I've seen in dravit) it gets that gold/bronze/gold hue to it that I personally don't like. If the color looked as it does in your pics all the time I would be in - it's just the other times I struggle with.

It's like in the 90's I had several BMWs in a shade of gray (I could look it up but don't want to bother) that looked wonderful when the light hit them, they were clean etc...but when the clouds came and the car was dirty, they looked like a dirty wash rag...dull and boring

This color hits me the same way (not saying dull and boring - just different) - love it when on point but at times I'm not sure - I may still order my G20 with this color - but I'm not sure.

I get that there is this whole color shift thing that goes on with that color

yup that's my point - OP's car looks stunning!! Congrats OP

But I've also seen that color look rather odd under other lighting circumstances

I would recommend that you find a car with this color to test drive on a sunny day. Under the sun it's a whole different color as compared to when it's in the shade. And it's for this reason that I love this color so much.

If you dislike the gold/bronze flakes in the metallic paint then this is probably not the color for you. They are very subtle and not overpowering but brings a special shimmer to the grey.

Here's another picture I took out in the open.

If color changes are not your thing then it would be best to choose one of the standard colors. Mineral Grey would be the closest to what you see in my pictures above.

I would have taken MGM if Dravit Grey was not an option.

Been living with MG/Red for almost three years now - love it but probably not for another 3 years :-). I'm really waiting to see if some additional interior color options become available for 2021 and that'll play a part in my exterior color choice. If I had to make the decision today I'd go with your color combo - but we'll see what next years models bring us

That is an absolutely stunning combo, op.
Can you share some interior pics too?
I'm interested in stitching at the inferior part of the dash and doors how high the built quality is.
Thanks in advance and congrats once again for the purchase!

I hear you man. Red interiors jump out at you right from the beginning but it also gets old real quick.

Sorry mate I haven't got many interior shots so far. These are the only 2 I could share.

I tell you, that Dravit grey looks better everytime I see it. I hope in the states we will get the Merino leather option. I am waiting for this and also Cerium grey delete and I will be able to order soon. Beautiful car and optioned just right.

Couldn't disagree with you more. I am in love with the Imola Red interior on my E46 M3. But to each, his own!
