After 3 whites F30's (2 aplines and 1 mineral withes) I can tell you that the dravit grey is a difficult color to maintain in good shape (without visible swirls). What I did is to PPF the full car and problem solved.

I passed on this color definitely don’t want to spend on ppf that must be expensive for whole car.

Not only Dravit. 4 series is the best looking BMW currently.

I don't think it's difficult. Coming from all mineral whites in the past, it's def harder to keep "clean" but does get visibly dirtier. However a good ceramic coating helps let the dirt just rinse off between details. My only issue is that the paint does streak… you need a really detailed eye to see it… but the color doesn't agree with a lot of waxes, quick detailers etc…. You get visible high spots easily that look "wet" and you need to do a lot of buffing to get them out. Overall though the look is worth the little extra effort.

My Dravit to matte conversion is complete and I can't get enough of it! Looks like a frozen dark gray in darker lighting and pops the special Dravit sparkle in sunlight

Might be the best looking G26 I've ever seen if I do say so myself!

Just collected my first BMW 2 days ago, very happy with the dravit grey colour and the laser headlights. I've been driving a VW Polo before this as my first car so this is quite a big upgrade for me

Beautiful car and the best color. Great choice, welcome to the club!

Dereli · 08-22-2022, 04:40 AM

Here is mine 330e in Dravit grey.

Echoninety · 08-27-2022, 06:30 PM

Here is my Dravit Grey M340i RWD - love this color. Plan on getting gold or bronze rims in the future.

InfiniteBMW · 08-28-2022, 11:35 PM

Seem to recall that the Mexico plant didn’t have the ability to do custom/individual paints so if you ordered a M340i with Dravit Grey the car would be assembled in Germany.

Is that still true for the 2023 MY?

Doesn't appear so - I have a 2023 M340i in Dravit on order and it was built in Mexico.
Production has finished, now waiting for it to get on a ship and hopefully soon I can contribute more than these words to this thread!

Some random shots from today of my 330d RWD. I was pessimistic about the color at first, but boy was I wrong! It's simply stunning in person. Getting quite a few compliments.

good job capturing the color on camera

After 4 months waiting for production and 2 weeks for PPF, ceramic coating and tint, she's home 😁

Which deck lid spoiler is that? Genuine m performance in gloss black or a clone?
