Random G80/G82 Shot of the day

nptguy · 06-29-2021, 08:27 AM

Finally saw one in the wild. Damn that IOMG looks good in person! My BSM arrives Friday or I might rethink the color.

Not a bad angle on this car IMO.

Two pics of picking up from PCD yesterday.

Met up with a fellow enthusiast for some spirited driving . . . snapped a pick while waiting for his arrival.

The roads were nearly completely empty this morning and we had a blast. . . this G80C can really get it on.

So today I parked my car miles away from anyone and this fella decided I looked like I needed company

Thanks mate!

Your Dravit looks so good in this picture. I kind of wish Dravit didn't have the gold flakes. Then it would probably be my favorite color. It's a great color regardless, but I think it could be tweaked slightly.

Have you seen it much in person? They're very subtle. You need to look for the flakes in certain light. Not too obvious

I work at a dealership, so I get to see it on a pretty regular basis. And maybe that’s the problem. Any time I’ve seen dravit out on the road, I’ve thought it looks absolutely amazing. But when I can walk around the car on the lot, it’s easier to find that very specific angle where the flake really stands out.

Even in this pic I took in direct sunlight, you don’t really notice the flake. I’m mostly just being nit-picky here. Dravit would be my second color choice.

Speaking of grey, I think Donnington Grey is my favorite BMW silver . . . Is DG a G80/82 individual option? If so, has anyone seen or obtained a DG G80/82.

Ok, maybe I snapped two pics this morning . . .

It's an option on the Individual Configurator, so I guess it all comes down to whether BMW would approve it. I think Oxide Grey has become my first color choice for the M3, and it seems closest to Donnington Grey.

I could not resist a photo-op with Old Glory on this special day in our country's history

I've completely fallen for IOMG. Having owned Yas and San Marino F80s it's hard to believe I'm saying that…but this color is unreal.

moproblems · 07-07-2021, 12:46 AM

Buddy of mine took some photos of my car over the 4th.

Doesn't look like it. The IOMG G8x in this photo have the shiny metallic piece above the lights whereas the shadowline lights have a black piece.

I just saw Dravit Grey at the dealership the other day and it was stunning. Super sunny day so you could really see those gold flakes. Very dynamic paint. What is your first choice?

Oxide Grey is now my favorite color, and I wasn't a huge fan of it at launch. So that would be my first choice on the M3. On the M4, I would go for Skyscraper Grey
