Dravit Grey Individual Metallic I think. I have it on order with red leather for my 8 Series arriving around Feb! Grey is very popular in Europe with battleship greys coming into all brands. Thanks for posting, would like to visit sometime myself.

Probably it looked that way to me due to the black background. Is it metallic? We in the US don't have the configurator yet. When do you get delivery? Enjoy in good health.

I telephoned the Welt, it is Dravit Grey. Looks like Audi Nardo grey, but as it is metallic it will also have a fleck in it.

Nah, Indianapolis Red and Dakar Yellow are worse. Lol! Davit does look a bit weird in pictures though. Would need to see it in person.

Should be called Liquid Mud Metallic. Lol I'm sure it looks better in direct sunlight.

The color has good potential, IMO, if paired with a standout interior color and some more striking wheels.
I agree that the color can't be judged well by camera under artificial lighting.

That rear 3/4 is a nice angle.
Anyhow, this is better than normal grey but that is like saying brown shyt is better than diarrhea. Grey is the absolute worst color you can get for a car. Boring and depressing. |

Looks similar to Nardo, with more brown? Must be one of those 'pictures dont do it justice' colors. Interested to see in person, in sunlight. I remember seeing champagne quartz in a showroom and it was MUCH better than the photos online. Maybe thats just me

My grey tabby cat threw up a hair ball this morning and it came out Dravit Gray.

That Z4 concept though.... why couldnt they just keep the lines of the front instead of making it look like the fiat
