Also - friggin BEAUTIFUL spec

Wasn't available first year in buckets. I'm so sad I couldn't get them.

Ahhh okay. Makes sense

….and I think that warrants a trade for you 😉

Great color combo OP. Eager to see more of this sexy specimen

stylinexpat · 12-18-2021, 02:28 PM

Very very beautiful, amazing combo

Limegrntaln · 12-18-2021, 03:45 PM

Oh, here we go, again. I told myself when the F8X came out, that if I ever ordered a BMW, it would be Fashion Gray and I chickened out and went with Dravit. This is going to haunt me, since I've seen this car on Facebook. Like if I didn't just spend money for full PFF, I'd sell it, tomorrow. Fak, this is amazing. I'm a dumb ass.

RemoteBimmer · 12-18-2021, 03:49 PM

Sweeet color combo.

GOLFFRR · 12-18-2021, 03:52 PM

I think Dravit is better if it makes you feel better.

smknjoe · 12-18-2021, 04:48 PM

Interesting color. Taupe or sand like. I like it.

clutchdj · 12-18-2021, 05:02 PM

This will be a good build.

elitex · 12-18-2021, 06:02 PM

Dang, can't wait to pickup my Fashion gray M8 coupe. Looks great!

M3ANSPEC · 12-18-2021, 07:45 PM

Beautifully done!

Always loved FG.

FSHNGRY · 12-18-2021, 07:49 PM

OP,

From one "Fashion Grey" man to the next - I salute you. Congrats on the build, and beautiful exterior color choice!

Enjoy it, Drive it in good health!
Get ready for loads of compliments and thumbs up!

I ordered Dravit Gray on a whim. I'd gawked over Fashion Gray, for years. I guess it's just all of those emotions built up from spending years looking at every fashion gray car I could find. Just doesn't feel the same. And it's more unique. Dravit is all over the place, now. But thank you.

I prefer Dravit any day any time. The FG is nice, as long as it is someone else's car.

I guess I just appreciate the individual-ness of it. You're not going to see them, like you're going to see Dravit Gray. And then it comes down to, already being used to seeing your color, all the time, and thinking that it's just ok. It just doesn't have the same effect on me, as Fashion does.

Im going to be keeping my CCB calipers gold, because nothing probably matches the gold flake in the Dravit, better. Also, props to the owner for having big enough huevos to void the warranty on a set of $20,000 brakes.

This is what got me to switch to an individual color. I was initially going with SPY, which I thought would be a fairly loud and unique color. While I think SPY is still fairly rare, it wasn't rare enough after I started seeking out more photos and videos of the G80s after initially ordering. I knew I wanted to go one step further and decided to pony up the $4,500 for individual. So happy I did and zero regrets about it.

Agreed, and TP is probably going to be as rare as FG. I paid $1,950 for DG, so, the jump to $4,500 wouldn't have been that big of a deal. The wait would have been a different story. My car took 98 days from order to delivery.

I would say FG will likely be even more rare than FG. The amount of people that have TP on order and that I have seen on Insta, etc. is definitely more than I initially anticipated when I ordered but I'm sure it will still be less than 100-200 cars produced during the production run.

The switch to individual really did kill me on the wait. I was originally set for a May build when I ordered back in March but the switch to individual pushed me to a 2022 allocation which threw everything for a loop and I didn't actually pick up the car until the week of Thanksgiving…8 month wait!

Switching model years was also a gamble. Dropping options and changing configurations. Luckily, you pay attention to the forums and knew that exec didn't include laser lights anymore. Is your car xDrive?

At the time, didn't really know it would be a gamble as things weren't too crazy back in March, however being a member here helped immensely with knowing all the changes that ended up occurring.

No, didn't opt for XDrive as I just didn't think it was necessary or worth the extra money here in Phoenix.
