Very nice! They are best images I have seen, as really shows the different dimension of the colour. Looks a very matt grey in most other pics I have seen.

I got a dravit grey + cognac 330i m sport in December and I absolutely love the colour. I've been back and forth going to bmw and seeing what deals they can give me. Early 2019 interest rates were still high so I didn't even look at which cars they have in inventory. October 2019 they had a white 330i msport on display for a fair price but I didn't get it. December comes, we talked numbers and they said they have only 2 2019s left. One mineral grey and one dravit grey. To be honest I didn't even look at the actual car when I purchased it. I saw that it was dravit grey and cognac I didn't even need to look any further. The colour is absolutely amazing and it's different depending on the light it is in but looks stunning either way. I'm so glad I was patient and didn't get the white one because I'm so lucky to have dravit grey. So many people adored the colour and it's nothing like they have ever seen but it's still the winter so I haven't seen the full potential of the paint in the summer sun without salt on the car in these harsh Canadian winters. Also, the colour has a really cool sparkling effect to it. Under normal light it's grey, but if you shine a spotlight or a flashlight on it, that area will sparkle gold and it just looks absolutely amazing. Pictures don't do justice but I have attached some.

Are you both happy with Cognac? I think I’ve finally settled on Dravit, now choosing between Cognac and Mocha, although not loving the 2 tone dash.

I ordered mine in December and have to wait until May. Unusually, I have never actually seen the colour combination in the flesh! Went for all black on curent 330d so wanted something way different. These pics confirm right choice for me. Just makes the wait even more agonising ha ha.

Maybe I just spent too much time in the military, but the battleship grey style just doesn't do it for me.

That being said, I'd never seen it in the sun with the gold flake coming out before and didn't realize Dravit had that aspect. It DOES look good when the light hits it like that. Not my preference still, but yeah.

Agreed! I wrestled a bit and almost wanted to do an Individual in a Burgandy. For this build I want to be able for the Cognac to show a bit. It brings out the gold flake in the Dravit paint. I do like when the Dravit changes with (shadows/clouds/night) to the "Nardo-Like" color.

I am happy with the Cognac too! I almost chose the Mocha but since there are more goodies to come, I think the cognac will work better for me. Stay tuned!

Wow

Car finally arrived and absolutely no regrets. What a colour! Well, two colours. So different in sun and then normal or dull light and both equally impressive imo

Definitely not. Had the car for almost 2 weeks and the heads keep turning. I absolutely love this color. Full front clear bra on it. Next going for the paint correction/ceramic coat. Even the shop who did the bra couldn't stop talking about how it was such a cool color. As other have mentioned I love how it changes color depending on the lighting.

I have the Tanzanite with the Cognac and it looks fantastic. I got the open pore maple and it is just OK with the cognac. Think aluminum might have been a better choice.

Love it. If I order a G20 when my lease is up in Feb., this the the color/wheel combo I want.

Part of me has also debated the black wheels...

No regret: I LOVE it when it's clean. In the sun, gold metallic looks great, out of sun looks great as a flat gray
