Putting in an order for a M3 on dravit, and can't decide between ivory or fiona (non-buckets). Does anyone have any pics of dravit on ivory, dravit on red pics were pretty easy to find. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

But I’m biased 😄

Saw a vid on youtube with silverstone on dravit. I know its not ivory but close. Personally, ivory looks so damn good, the only catch is making sure you actively clean it.

Have you seen it yourself personally, I haven't been able to find one to see in person. My only worry is it would be too close to beige.

Ivory is class but the cleaning isn't. Fiona Red is respectable and less maintenance. I would choose the red but I'm a youngin so who knows! Heard on the forums the Ivory is super hard to maintain and it needs to be cleaned weekly if you daily it

Are you worried that ivory would look too beige? I have it in my M4 and it's pretty white. Ive had Silverstone before and like ivory better

Vote for Fiona and Dravit. I have the same combo as Mickey and love it. Ivory is not a bad option either, comes down to personal preference!

Wow it looks amazing on that spec!

[ChrisM4]

I have Dravit on Tartufo and it looks amazing…I’d have to go with Fiona based on the two choices above. Ivory would be a nightmare to keep clean.

[Znomorph4theWin]

Fiona all the way…

it's not at all biege. "Ivory" is a perfect description. It's a very warm white with some yellow / beige tones. It's very different to Silverstone which is an extremely light gray. It's also warmer than Pebble or Chalk from Porsche.

Honestly, the red is going to show as much dirt.

Yeah, I switched my order from SS to Ivory. I like the warmer tones of Ivory better with the AR and also like the monotone look.

That's another thing, OP. The Red seats have the black centers and trim whereas the Ivory is, well, Ivory. You need to decide which you like better.

Ivory's yellow tones will go really well with the gold overtones and olive colors of Dravit. Will look VERY sharp.

My car is BG with Silverstone interior. If i had the option to order the car again today, it would be dravit with fiona. Light color interior looks good, but i'm sick of dealing with it and always worrying about stains and cleaning it.

[Bimmerfun82]

I've seen FR in person and it's really nice. I would probably go with Full Silverstone/Black myself.

Do a ceramic coating like Geyon. Invest in some Leather Masters soft and strong cleaners. Get used to doing light maintenance wipes regularly.

Once you realize how dirty your seats get, you realize your black seats have just as much dirt and that you're sitting on dirty seats. I've had a number of very light interiors and once you're used to it, maintenance isn't that difficult or time consuming.

I have a ceramic coating, doesn't change any of what I said.

Maybe try a different one? Or a different cleaner? Doesn't track with my experience. I have Chalk in my current cayenne; owned 9 months now and very minimal maintenance has been required to keep them looking new.

I was in the same boat. Ended up spec'ing Fiona because I was scared the freshness and different Ivory "wow" honeymoon factor would wear off eventually and I'd just be tired of cleaning it more often than the red. I went with carbon buckets so the red should be damn sharp.

[RichardGM4]

I had Ivory in my previous F82 M4 BSM and now I've got Silverstone and Black in my current G82 TBII

After 3 then 2 years of ownership of the two cars I'm a bit underwhelmed by the light colour when I get in the car now - all feels a bit bland.

Therefore I've spec'd full Fiona Red in the G80 BSM I've ordered - it was a toss up between that and full Kyalama Orange and Black, just hoping I've made the right choice!

[pateke]

Ivory is nice, Fiona is nicer, but orange is the nicest. I chickened out and went with black for my dravit M4cx ‘24. 🐣

[MG20i]

I would go with Fiona Red since I am averse to a lot of maintenance.

But if it were my car, it would be Dravit over Full Tartufo.

[MJBO]

Visually I don't think you can go wrong either way, both combos would be stunning. Don't skimp out on full leather though, it makes the cabin feel so much more premium than "extended leather".

Ivory looks incredible, but I reckon it would show marks even faster than show up on my Kyalami trim, so might be a consideration. Nothing a good clean doesn't resolve though.

[NFARVW]

Yes....whatever you do, do full leather.
