My only disappointment was not being able to get Integral Active Steering, but it’s prioritised for M60.

Nice spec.

Did u go for the M Sport seats with the comfort plus?

What is your build week?

I was looking but there was extras required for the M Sport Seats circa €5.5k.

Build was week beginning April 17th.

I saw Dravit Grey in person at the showroom the other day, it reminds me alot of the Champagne Quartz colour that was available in the previous generation 3 and 4 series.

Personally, however I would go for Brooklyn Grey which is similar to Nardo Grey and I believe is a really fashionable colour nowadays and very eye-catching. I think it looks really good on the new facelifted X7!

I was also thinking the other day, it's interesting how white doesn't really seem to be in fashion anymore?

That's about 11 /12 weeks build to delivery.

Still waiting to place my order that will be along the same lines.

Thanks for sharing. Would be interested on your views when you get good run with it.

Changed my M60i order from Dravit to Skyscraper this morning after a side by side comparison on Sunday.

Tallcane · 07-13-2023, 08:18 AM

Just placed my order yesterday for an M60i in Dravit. Love Dravit.

Couldn’t be happier ☺️

I like skyscraper the best on the x5 and x7. Brooklyn gray IMO looks best on the smaller 3 and 4 series etc. It gets a little washed out and close to white on the big SUV's in bright sun. Dravit has a lot of brown/ gold in direct sun. Skyscraper is a very true gray without the green and blue tint of Brooklyn.

Each to their own ,iv had dravit and white already ,I’ll give each colour a turn and enjoy the journey 😝

Love all the colors. Our G06 is the Brooklyn grey. Skyscraper was our first choice. All of them are absolutely beautiful!!!!.

Hi BMWFLYNN

How's your experience?

Is the B&W system worth the extra money against the HK system

BMWFLYNN · 07-31-2023, 08:30 AM

The B&W speakers are a serious upgrade on the HK system.

Overall really like the car, I’m amazed by all the hate for the LCI on the forums, the use of the word ‘cheapening’ is both hilarious and nonsensical but I suppose change is alway hard for some Karen’s 😂

I totally agree,I’m my eyes it’s streets ahead of the e45 ,I’d love to hear the B&W in real life ,if I can get a 24 allocation I’m thinking of ordering Manhattan green ,tan leather and B&W,I reckon I might get one more turn on the market but also delighted to stay in this one .

I agree, it seems others are missing the buttons.

Nice to hear some positive feedback for a change. I have to try and get a listen to the B&W system to decide. It's an extra £3k which is a serious amount of money for music. Heart says yes, head says NO

Dravit and Brooklyn are super different in person. Dravit is almost an off-black in some lighting conditions, then in bright light it shows as dark grey with some bronze/gold flake. I personally don't care for the flake color but it is a striking look. I have a feeling that Dravit will show dust and swirl marks more or less like black paint.

Brooklyn is close to the Audi greys that started the whole primer-color trend, like Nardo and Suzuka. But there's definitely a blue hue, especially in shade or when parked next to a normal silver car. It looks almost austere in sunlight--gets really bright grey and intense. Not much metal flake visible. Another striking color but in a very different way.

Skyscraper is... ok? It's certainly a nice color but it tends to fade into the background. Good color for folks who want something that looks clean and professional but not showy. If I was going with standard silver on the X5 I think I'd prefer something brighter like the old E39 Titanium Silver.
