Question Does anyone regret getting Dravit Gray?

Does anyone regret getting Dravit Gray? I haven't been able to find one locally to see in person. I keep going back and forth between Dravit and black.

Nope. I was torn between those two colors as well, but I have no regrets going with dravit. I get a lot of compliments on the color, and it looks really great on the car, especially with a blacked out grille.

Only downside is that you want to have it clean all the time.

Absolutely love Dravit. I also had a hard time seeing it in person before ordering it. The one I was able to find at a local dealer, the one time I was able to go check it out was on an overcast day so wasn't able to get the full effect of the color. But looking at pictures on this forum I decided to take the plunge and am so glad I did. Such a dynamic color. Sometimes it'll look like a frozen gray, sometimes a dark gray, and sometimes gold.

Definitely love the color. Get compliments all the time because it's such a unique color that people haven't seen before.

I quite like my Portimao Blue. I haven't seen a Dravit Grey in person but I feel like when I do see one I'm going to regret not getting it.

I have to say it is one of the best grey colours out there. I even considered it, and I never go for dark colours.

If you have it, you should be very proud and happy! And if you ever doubt your choice, look at how it makes your tail lights pop with the 3D design and red bits contrasting with the grey.

Similar to Space Grey, perhaps one of my favorite BMW colors.

It was $145 online, much cheaper then at the dealer most likely. The black wrap for mirrors and cerium bumper trim was $150. So not that bad actually.

What's the best wheel color for Dravit? My guess is that cerium might match the best, but the thought of black is kind of intriguing. Definitely planning on a brown interior though. Is it a fashion no-no to mix brown interior with black wheels? All my cars to date have been black (or carbon black) on black.

When you say brown interior... do you mean the cognac or the mocha? I think if you're doing darker wheels the mocha would be more appropriate. The cognac definitely goes well with the cerium wheels. Either way i think the color is dynamic enough that most combinations of wheel/interior will look good with it.

I was thinking Mocha, if it mattered. Still haven't fully decided between the two browns, but maybe since I've been black for so long I was leaning towards the darker brown as a transition. I also don't want to have to 'baby' a lighter color.

I opted to go with mocha because I thought it looked elegant. Cognac looks great as well but was a bit too loud for me personally.

In regards to a lighter interior, in my experience I haven't had to do anything different with it. I had white leather seats in my IS 350 that I drove up till 145k miles and no issues. I currently have ivory white leather in my X5 and haven't had any issues either. I think it's a myth that a lighter interior gets dirtier, especially with leather which makes cleaning much easier than say, cloth.
