Colours are totally subjective as others have said, and yes I've seen the pics posted here - its just my opinion - I'm allowed to have one.

To me looks like it has a green hue to it, definitely a colour I would need
to see in person, but based on the pics here I wouldn't go for it.

Funny you say that, 'cause there are no pictures here...
Just renderings... and they don't do the color any good.

Google the color...

Hey at the end of the day, you ordered it, you need to be happy with it - that's all that matters. Enjoy the new ride !

Well to be honest, after comparing it with pics of Nardo Grey I wouldn't say it's that similar. But without direct light, it does have quite a flat tone which I actually quite like. Very peculiar colour but I love it.

I would imagine that Bernina Grey is more like Nardo Grey.

I had my doubts about it, but as soon as I saw it in person I knew I was going for it. Lovely paint.

Bernina Grey amber effect is similar to Nardo in color from the distance but closer inspection has Dravit's pearlescent metallic flakes. It also has a blue hue depending on lighting.

I personally prefer Bernina over Dravit on a larger vehicle such as X5/6/7

Thanks for the pic showing the AG X5 in the background. Good example of the tonal difference between the two.

Thats not Arctic Grey (AG) in the background, that's an F15 X5 with Space Grey.

That was the colour I had on my F15, and I miss it so much ! ...an awesome colour !

I took Dravit grey because it's a dynamic color...

Wanted to order a brown interior, but after seeying quite a few interiors of G05's standing a the dealer, I went for black, with the M-seats as the eye-catchers

And best thing... delivery in March 2021 (the dealer got me a production number to have earlier delivery )

Eager to see how your build comes out! I bet it's going to look stunning. And love your M seats!!

I would've seriously considered this color when I was ordering my M50i. I don't know if it looks better, but it's sooo different and that's why I like it.

Lime Rock Grey metallic is also now available for only a little bit more money than the Dravit Grey for those who prefer a little lighter shade of grey.

Nardo is overplayed and Lime Rock Grey would be my preferred choice.

My neighbor has an M850 in Dravit with black wheels, and it looks great. Looking forward to seeing it on the G05.

I drove a 7er for the first time at a BMW M track event. That is an amazing car. My son and I spent 30 minutes driving around the Sonoma Valley countryside and we really did not want the ride to end. What a ride you have sir.

Obviously it is tough to judge a color in pictures but she said something about it looking too dull on a big space. Keep in mind that she is an artist so looks at colors much differently than car folks. What do you think about an X5 in that color?

Well my 7 is pretty massive and I wouldn't say it looks boring. It's very flat in overcast light but I love that kind of colour anyways. I'm a sucker for Nardo Grey kinda colours that look like wet cement
