Dravit grey vs Brooklyn grey LCI

mad villain · 05-16-2023, 10:02 PM

This is the part I love about Dravit that you don’t see in pictures. The gold doesn’t come out unless it’s in person.

Also surprised at how nice that OP picture is with 741’s. Never thought Dravit would look good with non-black rims. Makes me wish I had gone with something other than black rims for my winter set!

If I can’t locate a set in time, I may have to opt for winter tires.

Tirerack suggested the 275/40/21 tires all the way around, I may go that route, they’ll fit on the rear wider rims, no issues. More tire choices, too!

I’ve got 22” wheels. I’d think a 21” tire wouldn’t fit. I know there are some variances allowed, but I don’t know about that one.

Dravit in case you are still thinking!

Thanks, which part of Michigan? I’m from Stevensville.
Could go with a box tire setup, even on the wider rear rims? More tire options.

By the way, here’s my Taycan Brooklyn Grey vs skyscraper:

Some more real color Dravit (not many photos on this forum I think with accurate depictions….)

It changes in the light, here are overcast samples

rabbit1986 · 05-28-2023, 11:38 PM

some more pictures of Dravit

socalsharky · 06-11-2023, 02:06 AM

Is Dravit Gray not available on the x5 x40i MSport? The US configurator will not allow it. Tanzanite Blue also does not appear to be available. I can't understand why BMW would not allow these colors on a higher spec car.

GranitM5 · 06-16-2023, 06:28 PM

I also can’t choose Dravit grey with M sport on the LCI.

BigEvan1923 · 06-16-2023, 09:53 PM

Dravit does amazing things in the light.

BMWFLYNN · 06-22-2023, 08:29 AM

Had the first Dravit Grey X5 in Ireland and I am always asked about the colour from others drivers, but when ordering the LCI I was torn between Frozen Grey and Brooklyn Grey.

Went with BG purely because it would be here on July 1st making it a 232 reg and the FG wouldn’t arrive until October.
