Hi all ,I am just after taking delivery of a 23 e45 in dravit grey and love the colour ,I find darker colours harder to keep but this may not be an issue as iv got an e50 on order in Brooklyn grey ,I’m really torn tho as I think the dravit looks great too .very undecided ,I have seen pics of the LCI in Brooklyn grey but have not yet seen any dravit grey ,if anyone has taken delivery of either colour could they post pics,I am currently as status 112 ,also any feedback on the new e50 would be greatly appreciated,I am in Ireland also 🇮🇪

Here is Skyscraper Grey to make your choice even harder

Here are some pics I snapped at the dealership last weekend. First here is Brooklyn Grey on an X5 outdoors and an X7 indoors.

And here are some shots of Skyscraper Grey

[Bimmermadireland]

Go FasTA big difference with Brooklyn inside and outside,skyscraper looks quite sharp too 👌🏼

[Go FasTA]

Brooklyn definitely does change quite a bit between direct sunlight and overcast settings. I originally planned to order Brooklyn but I wasn’t quite as pleased with it in person on the X5. Obviously, color is very subjective and it is a really nice color, however, I don’t think it works as well on larger vehicles. The best way I’ve found to describe it in daylight is that you’re viewing an overexposed photo of a white or light colored vehicle. You tend to lose most of the body lines with Brooklyn.

Go FasTA what colour did you go for in the end ?

I initially selected Skyscraper Grey, but then switched to Manhattan Green the next day. My order is a May allocation, but at the moment I can still make changes. I'm 75% sold on Manhattan at the moment.

Thanks Bmwx5z ! I’ve been soaking up all the pics and videos I can find. Mine will be an M Sport with M Sport Pro since I think the shadowline trim works better with Manhattan Green. I’m also opting for the 915M wheels and Coffee Merino interior.

Yea I am trying to find different color and wheel combos also w Msport but without M sport pro package.
Can’t decide… I think I’m between carbon black>mineral white=skyscraper grey w cognac interior

I currently have a 2021 45e in mineral white with extended shadowline and the 940M wheels. It looks fantastic and I don’t think you can go wrong with mineral white. I do feel like skyscraper grey is a great color. It is fairly dynamic and can appear lighter in daylight and darker in low light. It has a lot of metallic flake and many times looks like high polish metal to me.

Here a Manhattan with Msport, so beautiful ! However I prefer with the black wheels 22”

I agree. The black 22s look the best on Manhattan Green M Sport, however, they aren’t available on the 50e in the US.

I personally like how Dravit grey changes color in different light conditions. I also prefer darker colors though. I have a buddy with an M3 in Brooklyn gray and it's not as metallic or as dynamic as Dravit is.

BMW colours strike me as very impressive. When I was looking, I was often hit with a "What is that" moment as I watched colours shift in the light: Dravit Grey, Brooklyn Grey, Arctic Grey, Carbon Black with blue highlights, etc.

I ended up choosing MGM because there's no way to describe "greenish grey" but when people see the car it's a "wow"!

Very nice, if you or anyone else have additional BG pics, please post. Debating this or another Carbon Black.

Gorgeous! Do you see blue more often than grey? Also, will you run those summer tires year-round?

I do not see blue that often. I think it shows more blue in photos than in real life. I live in Michigan where it hasn’t snowed a tremendous amount in the last several years, but any given winter can be messy. It certainly gets cold here, so my plan is to swap to all seasons in the fall. I’ve been looking for a set and the rear tires are back ordered everywhere. If I can’t locate a set in time, I may have to opt for winter tires.
