Looks very good. Would've chosen this over arctic grey for sure if it was available then!

None, was blown away by the colour over tanzanite blue when saw them I side by side, at the dealer.

OK, I’ve been quiet on this one, but I am going to weigh in too. I will caveat by saying that Dravit Grey is a brilliant color, and these choices are super personal, so go with your own instinct.

A little history: I just ordered my fifth BMW with the first one being way back in 1999. The previous four colors have been: Topaz Blue, Monaco Blue, Space Grey, and Donington Gray. I guess I have a thing for blues / grays, and I had narrowed this new order down to Carbon Black, Dravit, and Tanzanite Blue. I was actually leaning toward Carbon Black, but then I found a dealer that had all three colors on the lot. I ended up going with Tanzanite, and I think I will be very happy with it.

My take on Dravit was that it looked great in shade, but I didn’t love how amber it got in the sun. I could see it on a smaller vehicle, but it felt “yellowy” for my taste on a large SAV. Finally, I love what I have seem so far of Grigio Telesto....somewhat industrial but with some brilliance in the sun. That said, I can’t see dropping an extra $5K for a shade of grey. Again though, these choices are super personal, so hard to really go wrong.

This is an exquisite color for the G05. Wish it was available when we ordered our 45e

Me too Arctic Grey is just too dark and makes the car incredibly hot I have to set my AC 3 degrees cooler than my older Alpine white F15. I would have liked to have had a Glacier Blue G05 like I had on my 1991 E30 Really loved that colour and was ideal for hot climates

umzzy · 01-26-2021, 06:20 AM

It looks so good! Just ordered mine in Dravit a few days ago. Can't wait to actually see mine in person now!

Another grey? How about another color, as in not black/grey/silver/white?

Depending on X5 model, there's green, brown, amatrin (call it burgundy) and two blues, with one of those a very expensive option.

BMW has plenty of colors across the lineup, so why so few choices of the very popular X5?

Just got the message that the production of my car (originally planned for week 5) is pushed back to week 11 🤨😫

Did they give you a reason why? Last I checked my Dravit build is supposed to be completed on Monday. Online it still say "production begins."

Call the 800 number, and it should give you the latest date. Online status won’t change until it physically is getting built.

The sales guy had requested week 5 for the production slot and didn't tell me that he did not get it, but that he got the week 11 slot...

So it's the sales guy that is to blame...

That makes me feel better LOL just wanted to make sure it wasn't a production delay for Dravit or something like that.

Very excited to take delivery today! This color on the X5 is even more stunning in person than I expected!

Wow! That looks amazing! The interior looks gray? Not talking about seats or trim. Looks like the dash and the trim around the seats are gray.

I honestly didn't really care for Dravit until I saw this.... Hmmm to change or not to change... I really wish I could find a direct comparison between Dravit and AG, side to side.
