My sense is that unless frozen paint is kept clean and in perfect shape it can look like hammered dog poop. Might be great for a weekend car show ride, but horrible for a DD.

You are right. One of the things that attracted me to DG was the brown, copper, and olive tones. Mine might get dropped off at the delearship today, I gotta run over there now and see if there is a truck out back!

Don't paint your seats, that's gross. Instead, you should do the classy thing and cover them

Photos from the dealer. Now I just need to wait 4 weeks until I get back from holidays so I can pick her up!

Ok...had the pleasure of seeing a Dravit Grey M3 Comp this weekend in person. Wow, those copper/olive tones in the sunlight were really a sight to see in person. It appeared as a charcoal or dark grey when viewing it without the light. Really nice to see the different viewing perspectives this paint gives based on lighting conditions.
I think this is the build I now want after seeing that thing in the sunlight. This also kind of helped to seal the deal on the build. Last edited by T0RM3NT; 07-25-2022 at 01:15 PM.. |

Full Silverstone looks sooo good with Dravit. I felt the same about Dravit; wasn't sure what to expect because it's so dynamic. I love how it's different in the light vs dark. Pictures helped; but seeing it in person sold it. If I didn't do this, I'd want individual and that's an even longer wait.

Oh man, I'm simultaneously jealous of your four-week holiday, and extremely sympathetic you will be tortured during that entire stint waiting for delivery.

In that second pic, near the fuel door...that's what hooked me. Those copper/olive colors are at the right light and angles. BTW...stock height and no spacers or it does have some work done in that area? Thanks again! |

Thank you and lowered on MSS with 18mm front and 15mm on back on this picture. At first I had 15/13 but after lowering, I wanted more stance.

I'm just a little leery on messing with the stock suspension and don't want to hear noises that weren't there with the stock suspension. Thanks in advance for the reply. |

Every time I see a photo like this, I remain convinced Tartufo is my favorite interior. Boy does it sing with Dravit, well done Sir!

I don't want to, believe me but I don't want to hear those noises in a 80k car.

Just arrived at the dealership tonight. DG over Tartufo.
Hopefully this adds to the “different shades of Dravit Grey” collection. And I have no idea why some of them ended up rotated 90 degrees…. It goes from almost black, to dark grey olive tones in the second pic, to battleship grey with the flakes, to a nice medium grey. I absolutely love it. We take it home tomorrow, then it goes in for full detail, PPF, and ceramic. I will take more pics tomorrow and certainly after the detail.

Gunmetal II trends toward blue. I would choose a black or white interior. Dravit Grey trends toward brown (olive, copper, etc.). I chose Tartufo. And Tartufo trends toward a tobacco saddle color, which is nearer to orange than chocolate.

I generally agree, but unfortunately Tartufo wasn't available with the carbon buckets, and I couldn't pass up on those. I considered KO, but I thought it would be too much and I'd get tired of it, so I opted for the Silverstone. Given all the other black inside the car, I think it'll work, but no argument that Tartufo is classically beautiful.

It’s hard to believe I am posting my car in this thread! I recall first reading it and agonizing over color choices — until I saw a DG M3 in person, and then it was game over! I think that DG is always going to surprise me with how it looks. A very understated color, with very subtle nuances to it. Yet it is very complex and interesting.

Another Dravit / Silverstone being crafted
Looks like it's really happening. Ordered end of Dec, allocation in March(?). Once they start assembling the body it feels real!
Build 2023 M3 -- 6 spd manual (Originally a '22..not sure I like the dash on the '23's as much but I can probably get over that) Dravit Silverstone carbon buckets Carbon interior 826M black wheels Blue calipers --- but I don't think that's a '23 option so who knows what I will get. Carbon exterior package Shadowline Laser lights Sunroof (no carbon..) Executive Pkg I think that's it. |
