I'm super jealous of all of you who went with Skyscraper. I was always torn between Dravit and Skyscraper, switching between the two multiple times while waiting for my allocation without having really seen either color in person. When my allocation came, I thought I had some time to decide but it locked at 150 on Dravit within a day and a half. Didn't mind because I always thought Skyscraper looked a little pedestrian. Then I saw a Skyscraper M4 on the road the other day with a tint and drop and felt a nice little kick of regret in my stomach. Pictures and videos, and least of all the BMW configurator do not do this color any justice whatsoever. I'm sure I will love Dravit when my car gets here but man Skyscraper just looks so good on this car..and is $1300 less expensive as a bonus.

Also going back and forth between Dravit and Skyscraper (since they discontinued FDG) and still have no idea which one to get. Have seen Dravit grey in person and it looks awesome, but haven't seen Skyscraper grey. Ugh!

Today is the day for me I'm picking up my SSG M3, so excited after this long process to finally get behind the wheel. Added bonus I finally get to get rid of my X3M, not a bad vehicle fun to drive just not an suv person.

I'm not sure I see the brown you guys see. I do see olive green and copper tones in the color though with the right light and angles.

I love how dynamic it is but can definitely understand it not being appealing to others. There are several colors out there that don't do it for me too.

I think people may see brown hues in Dravit Grey at times during sunrise/sunset....reminds me a lot of Porsche's Agate Grey in the sun....

I see the brown now in that pic. I'll insert these pics from various members of the forum to show the different colors of Dravit in different light and angles and then not go further... already feel like I'm hijacking the thread.

Will mount the CSL rims next week + the ducktail carbon wing

I will share the updates if you wanna see them
Congrats. Looking forward to my SSG M4.

We visited Stuttgart 3 weeks ago. Wish we could have spent more time there.

Are the lip and diffuser genuine OEM parts? Just had a quote and the prices are Should have ordered the M Carbon Exterior pack

Your car is still gorgeous....even if it's not Skyscraper!

Yes all OEM Parts

I paid 1500Euro for the Frontlip and made a big deal on the local ebay site in germany called "Kleinanzeigen" . There was a private user (i think a mechanic from a BMW dealer) which sold me the OEM slightly used diffusor for 400Euro

But I think you will get good replic oem style diffusors for around 800bucks

Dude, I LOVE the look of it in the second pic (with BMW dealer in the background). It looks like a grey black in that pic. And BTW San Diego is one of my favourite places anywhere! Congrats on the car!

I know that the 50th anniversary badges look better on darker colours, but has anyone seen them on SSG or have pics of them? I prefer those to the standard badges. Also, I think Fiona red seats look great on the SSG, but how does Silverstone/Black look? Any pics? Thanks!
