Also dravit. A nice touch that BMW matched your car's color to the m3 shown on your screen.

Thats what I was asking, is the car on the screen, dravit gray? how the hell does that look done digitally? Dravit is near impossible to render.

Dravit is really a dynamic and amazing color. Love how my car looks, really suits the G80. Photos just don't do it justice. Most of the time the car looks darker irl than it appears in pictures.

Ah, my M4 will be the same spec. I thought about adding the carbon ext package as port installed. I may do that. What do you think about the carbon brakes? And what color is the car on the screen render? Did they actually make the on screen car, Dravit? And something about this picture, looks awfully DragTimesish...

sleepdoc · 08-28-2021, 09:21 PM

Congrats on the color choice - you won't be disappointed.

Im Really liking the CCB. Look gigantic, stop great without and squeaks or squeals. And almost no brake dust ! I hated how nasty my f80 wheels became after only a bit of driving.

Ha ! Yeah that's is one very well documented Plaid in the background. Stay tuned for the DragTimes video of my car …

Definitely, one of the deciding factors in specing the CCBs. Ive had a bunch of cars with standard Brembos, and black wheels. One thing that will ruin your OCD experience with a beautiful car, is brake dust, 10 miles after youve done a wheels off, detail.

And I defnitely thought I recognized that Tesla, and Brooks' driveway, even. Cant wait for the review! I love seeing video of Dravit. My car is at the port. It just seems like forever away, at this point.

Can you elaborate the carbon ext packages as the port installed? That’s not installed at the factory? You can add it later on? I’m reluctant to pay 5k for the carbon fiber ext package since I really just want the front inlets. Dealer said they might be able just do that package for half the price at the port. Didn’t really understand it at that time.

Yes.

Also no idea how they pulled it off but the rendering on the screen is damn near the same as actual dravit.

Hey all! Looking at making my m3 comp order fairly soon. The Dravit looks incredible in photos - how much longer did the paint extend production time? Did you all feel it was worth the wait?

kamichael · 09-02-2021, 02:21 PM

It did not extend my production at all. I believe this is because although Dravit is an individual color, it's semi-individual on several models now as offered on the regular configurator and order process. The paint booths are ready to handle various order quantities. I'm biased, but it's stunning in person. I could not be happier with this color choice. I just picked my car up yesterday and cannot stop admiring it.

F1zbo · 09-02-2021, 02:39 PM

Stumbled across this video on YT with plenty of shots of a Dravit Grey G80.

I have no idea what he is saying but lots of action shots that I think shows of the colour well.

Vanc2408 · 09-02-2021, 03:25 PM

Sorry about the size of the photos and poor quality but I thought this would be a good direct comparison of what this color looks like in cloudy vs sunny weather.

Wow... this color is spectacular.

mattburks · 09-02-2021, 05:44 PM

GodDMANNNNN I wish I had Dravit instead of BSM. Such a SICK color. Brings contrast that I am lacking currently in regards to the trim.

I think it'll actually end up looking more sinister then BSM when done right, and that's a bummer as I chose BSM for this motivation.

You all who spec'd Dravit -- y'all win this time!

This is a good portrayal of how the color changes.

Forzanerazzurri · 09-02-2021, 08:15 PM

Such a nice color. Thanks keep them coming

Alarmin · 09-03-2021, 01:26 AM

Anyone rocking Dravit on Tartufo interior? Curious what that combo looks like.

kamichael · 09-03-2021, 01:43 AM

I had a chance to take a few photos about 30 minutes before sunset today. I'm not a very good iPhone photographer, but I tried to show how Dravit appears in partial sun and shade - in effort to show how dynamic this color can be. I also took a few shots trying to show the interior. This is only the second day I've had the car. I never had a chance to see Kyalami in person when I ordered the car. It is the full Merino option, I'm so impressed with the quality of the leather. I never knew it included contrast stitching on both the orange and black areas. I could not be happier with how it turned out.

Haven't seen any on the G80 yet but went to check on this combo at a dealership in SoCal on a 8 series. Check out BMW of San Diego they might still have pics up. Tartufo doesn't show up as well in pictures but you get the general idea.

barryc365 · 09-03-2021, 03:52 AM

It looks like this on screen and in the My BMW app too

I considered Tartufo, but I would have preferred it if it was two tone with black like Kyalami snd others. This was the deciding factor for me. There's a guy with a Dravit M340 with Tartufo - here's the link:
