I’m definitely done with cement Grey, Brooklyn Grey though.
I would definitely try to see the car in person. My wife was hell bent that I should IOMG. After searching some YouTube videos that was professionally made and I loved it.

I had Brooklyn grey and drevit grey as another option. I think I have ended up with a frozen blue as my choice.

This might offend some people. The green reminded me the geo prisms from the 90s…

Nice reference. All solid colors. I Love the IOMG, Dravit is solid too and BG has grown on me now that I've seen it a few times, but to me still looks like a car that has just been primed. I saw one with FR interior and it was really nice. At the end of the day its purely subjective but I don't think anyone can go wrong with any of the colors. I'm a big Toronto Red fan as well. Decisions...

Dravit is my favorite color with the Kyalami color seating.

Attached some photos from indoors and in bright direct sunlight from the day I took delivery (excuse the cameo from my friend's kid).

I see you're in NJ--I actually bought mine from NJ back in May because I couldn't find one in that spec here and didn't want to wait to order one.
I absolutely love it. The black accents finish it off nicely.

Oxide all day.

Not a fan of BG - I have a coworker who has a "wolf grey" telluride and he acts like it's the best color ever. As stated earlier just feels like every brand has their own version of it these days

BG is not just any color, it's unique and trying to be cool. Well, it's not cool when half of Tacomas and Kias are that color.
I totally changed my order from Portimao Blue because I saw a blue Dodge in the parking lot the other day. I loveeeeee the blue, but I can't have that.

Will Brooklyn Grey be significantly easier to keep clean vs Dravit?

Have had BG X3MC and now Dravit M3, to my surprise Dravit is great for looking clean and being dark, no ragrets.

Another vote for dravit. It's such a dynamic color completely dependent on lighting. It suits the car perfectly especially with how it works with lighter interior colors and with exterior carbon fiber.

There’s no real blue in Dravit, it’s bronze and gold and a very dynamic colour. I think Tartufo is the best interior that colour but I’m biased.

That said I would not go with a blue interior with DG.

No offense to anyone who went with BG. I have been hearing about this color since purchasing my 22X3M. I saw it and It’s a great color but for me it’s played out. I see BG BMW’s everywhere. Maybe because I live very close to the X3-7 final production plant? I prefer DG but to each his own.

I think Dravit looks a little bland in overcast or darker lighting, but looks really really great in light. Brooklyn Grey looks good in all conditions but never really has a 'pop' moment.

I have Dravit but would have been equally happy with BG.

Not your eyes. I see the same. My wife swears it’s gold but I see green in certain light. I can see the gold too.

For sure…I believe it’s a bronze pearl and gold flake. (I could have those backwards)

It’s a very dynamic colour in different lighting. Almost looks liquid at times especially moving in direct sunlight.
