I do like the idea of Tanzanite on brown, though I have Nougat brown in my Q7 which is a bit too light, and from what I understand Tartufo is similar. Ideally I'd want a very dark brown such as Porsche's Truffle.
I was initially looking at DG with KO but after seeing KO in person couldn't see myself driving in that brightness for 3 years. Decided to go with Tartufo. Wish could get Tacora Red in merino as an option. Think it would compliment DG nicely.

This looks amazing!

I was at my dealer today configuring a Dravit grey and I'm between your exact build with SS buckets and standard Fiona Red seats. I don't know which one to go with! How do you like it?
The SS CF seats in mine get a bunch of compliments on the look and contrast with the cars exterior. One reason why I went with a light tint setup too-didn't want to block these beauties from view!

My exact reason as well for going with a lighter tint than normal for my G82. I'm usually around 30% all the way around, but not this time. I'm doing 50% because I want my SS seats to shine through under most lighting situations. Hec, even 50% is a tad dark under some lighting, but I'll make it work.

Order placed! Dravit with Fiona red Bucket Seats (SS would have been a great second choice that I would have been happy with). Feeling so happy right now.

I did regular. Spent the extra money on the carbon fiber package and bucket seats.

Personally, the reason I'd easily pick DG over BG is because it's a far more complex color. BG stays the same in lighting condition, but DG has so many flakes that it's pretty much a different shade every time you see it. As I said before, if I didn't already have a grey car in the garage, this would potentially be my first choice.
I love Dravit Grey and how it changes color depending on lighting. The only thing that scares me is trying to touch up a scratch or paint matching if I am in a fender bender. I will PPF the front and bumper and of course side skirts.
Beautiful car by the way

@Tall Tom Cruise - I'm breaking in the S58 on my X3M Competition a touch on the aggressive side. But nothing over the top or borderline risky.

What exactly happened with the S55 in your F82 M4C... ?

15 up front and 10 in the rear.

I'm on Pirelli's and I haven't experienced rubbing in reverse like others, I've just been cautious not to go full lock

Have that MSS HAS kit on the way so that may cause a little more rubbing

I'm not a fan of dark grey but DG is unique in that it straddles the line between the light grey and dark depending on ambient light conditions. Very nice color.

Im glad I ran across this thread. This definitely has me switching my M4 Spec, from BG to DG. I never knew how dynamic the color actually was. I've never seen it in person. Removing that $550 and adding the $1,950. Here we come.
