Dravit

Took these two pictures within a minute of each other. 95% of the time Dravit is dark crayon grey. But it has metallic gold flakes that are only visible in bright light. So when the sun is low in the horizon like near sunset shining directly at the side of the vehicle, it is camo green. When the sun is more directly above, the upper portions will have gold flake and brown tones, while the lower portion will continue to be dark crayon grey.

Was looking very green just now so snapped a shot.

It's not for everyone so just wanted people to be aware before they ordered it. I made a mistake by ordering a M8 comp in donington site unseen and ended up really disliking the color as it was gold in the sunlight so after only 6 months traded for X5M.

Cool how it changes color👍🏻

I absolutely love the color changes on BMW cars.
I never even realised my DG looks gold sometimes until someone told me and I could not unsee it.

Enjoy your beauty in good health.

I noticed that too... I dig it. Reminds me of "Havana" from the Land Rover / Range Rover special vehicle order palette.

I have a 22 arctic mSport 40i also and love that color. I think it does have a hint of blue...but it's mostly grey. I need a better pic but here it is compared to dravit on a day with sun around high noon.
