Yes GT looked far better than Nardo to me as well

Agreed , only Grey I would ever consider . Fashion with a passion

It differentiates itself from all the others imo . The rest just fall into the light or dark spectrum of Grey

Nardo, Brooklyn, Lime Rock , Chalk

Grigio Telesto, Grey Black, Dravit , etc

All are great imo. I was impatient and went with dravit with KO interior. I love it. Having said that, when I go individual in a few years I’ll likely go with grigio telesto.

All these shades of grey are terrific. Slightly off topic: I noticed that Donington Grey disappeared. Does anyone have any insights?

So the photo with both cars is a Grigio m4, next to a dravit m340. Both colors change alot in different lighting settings so even me providing these pictures is tough to go off to base a decision.


Then the rest of photos are the m4 in lime rock. Once again another color that changes a lot in different lightings. I personally chose lime rock myself. I had the same dilemma as you. I personally was lucky enough to see all of these colors in person before choosing. Lime rock is so much nicer in person to me, very hard to capture the color in phots (in my opinion), but same could be said for every color that’s what makes it tough. We all wish every bmw dealer had a line up of these cars in every individual color but sadly that will never happen.

You want the gold/brown flake then. Congrats.

I was trying to decide between Chalk and voodoo. Yes, 2 colors that are polar opposites lol.

Lime Rock for the win. Not even close to Chalk. A little darker than Nardo.

I’m bringing this thread back from the dead. I like my dravit grey but finally have a chance to submit an individual order and am doing so. I’ve submitted it for chalk exterior with KO interior but still am not 100% sure. It is ridiculous that I’m still debating over this haha. Lime rock, Nardo and Grigio Telesto are closely trailing chalk. I only have a few weeks before it’ll likely be locked in and unable to be changed …

I can't really understand wanting to go for such a small change like Dravit to individual grey for $4500, but...I think Grigio Telesto is incredibly similar to Dravit just without the color changing flake. Chalk is much closer to white and Nardo is overdone.

Lime Rock with it's slight green tinge would be my vote.

Yeah, I’ve struggled with the logic as well but just want a different exterior. Also, Dravit is approximately $2k so it’s really a ~$2,500 difference. I like lime rock as well. Good suggestion!

I know it is OLD debate 😁 but hell… to this day both colors are top. I’m repainting my g31 fully (it is black sapphire now) and I could not decide!

- Nardo seems to be too light abit
- telesto gray seems to be too dark a bit

Soooo I sort of decided to mix both paints together 50/50 😁😁😁 thoughts?

I don't fault you going individual at all, I'm just about the color choice. Why not an awesome red or blue?

I’m anti red. That’s just me haha. Blue is great, but I also don’t want something that is too “loud” and that I may grow tired of quickly after the shock value wears off. For example, while I love something like voo doo blue, I cannot imagine driving something that bright around town (smaller town). This is all so subjective and based on individual preferences I know.
