Oh yeah. I’ve played the waiting game with ATF Form 4s before. And with the way the past couple years have flown by I’m sure it won’t be too bad. Hope yours comes in early!

Given I have a June 26 production date, I'm going to push to move it to July and get MY23, so I've factored in a long delivery time. But, I guess these are the times in which we live, huh?

The gold flake in Dravit grey killed that color for me too.

Totally agreed, the gold flakes killed it for me too on the Dravit grey. I was set on getting Dravit grey till I saw it in person with the gold flakes.

Are the flakes that bad in person? I have an order in with Skyscraper but I'm extremely close to changing it to Dravit. Would love to hear opinions of people who've been back and forth between the two.

This picture of a fully wrapped Dravit grey G80 really shows the gold flake in the sun....top post #573....

I was set on Dravit as well until I saw it in the metal, parked outside in the sun. Really didn't like the gold flake which gives it those bronze/olive/army camo green hues, and made it an easy decision to choose Skyscraper instead

"Bad" is not the right word since it's just a matter of taste. I'm personally not a fan of the gold flakes either, otherwise I'd consider Dravit. They make it too "soft" for me, not sporty/mean enough. But then again, there are many others who like the gold flakes.

It's too bad BMW didn't use silver flake instead for Dravit Grey....

Then it would be Brands Hatch.

I'm with you. Not a fan of the gold/green in some light. But looks so good 80% of the time. I think Skyscraper is the opposite, it looks best in direct light.

Brands Hatch is an awesome grey, pity they don't offer it on the G8x otherwise I would've picked it for sure.

And with a stealth wrap...

Raider_G80 · 04-18-2022, 09:57 AM

Took her out after a wash on a beautiful Easter Sunday. My father is a wildlife photographer and thought it would be a good idea to take a few photos

Rivanov · 04-21-2022, 06:30 AM

Not a G80 M3, but my F40 1-series that arrived at my dealer last Tuesday. He sent me some pictures.
My god that color is so beautiful. A great combination with Dakota Leather Mocha.

Love this.

Mine has just completed a full front + full hood + full fenders and lower doors PPF, + nanotech on the rest of the body.

Stunning color in my opinion. sometimes if exposed at the evening sun, it has green shades inside, under a noon full sun it's grey with blue shades, under an overcast day, it's a smoke grey. To me fits perfectly the M3 body.

For those thinking of doing or not the ppf, you see the final result here below. Totally worth the thing to me.

petrol_phxz · 04-22-2022, 08:12 AM

Looks so good!

I'm probably going to end up wrapping the whole car, and considering even doing a stealth film! Just like you, I want to do a full front end (fenders, hood, mirror caps, etc.) plus the CF roof and the side skirts. I also want to do the rear fenders as they stick out so much, but the only way to do that without seeing a line would be to do the whole panel. At that point i'll just be missing the doors + trunk so might as well!

does anyone have a photo of Skyscraper Grey with Tartufo interior? Seems like a classy combination. I'm looking for a picture that has the door open so you can see the paint and the interior together.

Mine is on order with Full Tartufo. Alas, I cannot yet help as I am only "scheduled for production". Had the war not broken out, I was expecting my car delivered the first week of May.

There are a few, in this thread, you can find them easily with the app.

Took delivery of my car last friday. Already has 600km on the clock after two days.

God I love this color!!
