Agree. Would have popped with Sonic Speed Blue/Fiona Red.

Disagree. Dravit Grey pairs well with either Night Blue/Black Extended or Fiona Red/Black Extended. Requires 20" M V-spoke jet black wheels, which adds the Extended Shadowline Trim.

Personally, I would go Dravit Grey/Night Blue Black/ 20" M V-spoke black, but do not like that the convertible has to be ordered with RFT unlike the coupè which has the Cooling and High Performance Tire Package available.

Assume that the convertible has sun reflective leather technology like the 4 series/M4.

Dravit Grey is a very special colour that changes depending on the light. The metallic fleck is gold. In Europe most of the launch cars seem to be in this colour - we do like grey here.

Looks like the one they showed to select customers at the preview event. I think they show that car everywhere now.

Nice color but should have a darker interior for better contrast IMO

Color might be interesting under direct sunlight, but it still seems like a muddy brown which doesn't really convey sportiness, high-end or distinction, which you'd probably want from an extra cost Individual paint on top of it just being original/unusual.

If I'd have to choose a similar shade, I'd personally go for just dark grey, or bronze, or champagne, rather than a complex mix. And precisely because of it being such an unusual mix, it seems tricky to find a perfectly matching interior color other than neutral plain black.

Gorgeous car. Not my color preference, but gorgeous nonetheless.
