100% awesome in m sport as I think the black accents help darken the color.
However, with the satin trim I don’t see nearly the same darkness in the car. I’ve seen far too many photos of a very light concrete color that has been a major turnoff. Similar to this one.

Also nearby dealer has one stuck in stop sale.

Couldn’t get a good photo of it bc it’s just jammed back in a lot. But it is right next to a skyscraper which was convenient

From this angle it looks pretty good. But walk behind the car form the same direction of sun and you get a medium/ light colored flat grey…

Maybe you could always park the Dravit X5 in a flattering light? Gives new meaning to circling the lot looking for the best space

Love it. skyscraper was always my go to when I was going to get an m sport car. It’s the sport trim for air suspension that through a wrench in all of this!

Closing the loop here…I did end up changing the order to, ironically, the most unpopular in the poll, skyscraper.

Thanks everyone for voting!

Not a bad choice at all. I think Sky scraper looks real nice with the standard trim honestly. Note maybe go with the 22” wheel option available on the standard trim and you’re good! 😄
