I have both BGM and SGM. I test drove and looked at a number of DGM.

BGM
Pros:
Super easy to keep looking clean
Looks very nice with black contrast of shadowline
Will be cooler in the summer heat
Looks great in most lighting conditions
Cons:
Looks a bit like baby blue on overcast days
immediately. This is about the only time I don’t love this color
Flakes are very small and barely looks like a metallic color( which is more neutral than a con)
I don’t think it would look as good as the other colors with Tartufo

SGM
Pros:
Super easy to keep clean
Looks great in all lighting conditions
Looks great with Tartufo
Has lots of metallic effects to it
Cons:
More subdued than the other choices if you are looking to stand out

DGM
Pros:
Most striking of the three colors when the lighting is right (mid day and after sunset)
Looks great with Tartufo
Has a fair amount of metallic flake
Cons:
Most difficult of the tree to keep clean because of how dark it is
Will be hotter if you are in a sunny climate
I didn’t care for the amount of gold flake, especially when the sun is lower on the horizon. When the sunlight looks even a little yellow the gold is way more prominent than I prefer. This is what made me drop DGM when we ordered our M4.

Based on this I would choose SGM. It looks great, is super easy to keep clean and goes well with Tartufo. At the end of the day it is your personal preference and will be a fun and beautiful vehicle regardless of the three options you like. Good luck and hope you love what you pick.
