I finally settled for Skyscraper with the reasoning of BG is too common, and Dravit grey is $1,950 and can add up to 10 weeks to your build.

According to the vizualizer DG is not an individual colour. Maybe that is new for 2023. My hesitation with DG is that the contrast with the CF trim is not as sharp.

"BMW Individual paint requires special consideration. Vehicle production could extend build time up to 10 weeks from date dealer confirms the order. Please discuss this customized vehicle with preferred BMW dealer." And I agree with you about the carbon fiber contrast being better with Skyscraper.

Joking aside, I admit BG was my second color choice....

That is awesome, thank you! Anything I can do to make my car look less-BMW is a win for me. Along with the fake exhaust sound and poor audio system, the fact that it is a "BMW" has always been my biggest hesitation. I am not a BMW guy at all, I just happen to love the car.

(not a dis to BG owners, but this is the process I went through in color selection.... )
I had selected SSG originally for a classy understated look, that would highlight the lines of the car well. After some thought- thinking, this is a bold car -- perhaps I need a bold color? Flirted with blue and even red, but ultimately decided to get a neutral low-key color to complement the CCB's gold calipers and carbon exterior. ...but then reconsidered BG because I have a Steel Grey E46 (didn't necessarily want to duplicate) and a '22 Pilot in a very sporty Sonic Gray (love this color) with black 20" rims; my wife's primary vehicle. So when opportunity came along, I checked out a BG M4 on the lot in the rain... I liked it. Was subtle. I changed to BG on the build sheet, waiting for the allocation... Not having seen it in bright sun, however, my Client Advisor (female, have known her for a while - impeccable taste) she cautioned about BG.... she said she didn't think it suited the car. She said -- knowing me, how I hang onto my cars for a long time... She gently advised me that BG is too "baby blue" - in her eyes. She noticed my wife's Honda, and she said that was the color they should have nailed. "they missed the mark" and she thought SSG better suited the car. Wow - I was stunned. I honestly was reluctant to change it back to SSG. So I looked at more and more photos. Then noticed something, that really made me change my mind... I started to notice many BMWs in BG around town, in the bright sun, and did see that the car's lines were not so clear. Be it an X or a 2 series or an M4. The photos (great photos) here ultimately swayed me back to SSG, and it is different enough from my E46. My E46 has always been a good looking "complementary to the lines of the car" color - it still looks great. So I said what the hell, I'll stick with a metallic gray theme. Apparently SSG is not that common. I **almost** went with a 50 Jahre edition M3, in Lime Rock Grey, because hopes for a standard allocation were dim in June. But that was the only color I could have accepted in that palette list of colors. It too blurs the sharp lines of the car to a degree, but a rare color. Anyways, I look forward to SSG.... I think it will stand the test of time
