8 series (840d) in Dravit Grey Individual Metallic at Welt

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I happened to be in Munich yesterday and stopped by the Welt to see the 8. Just this 840d in the worst possible color imaginable. You be the judge.

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.

Around Feb. The weather in Europe is drab a lot of the time so we need our cars dark to match, unlike the sun you get in FL!

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.

As per these showroom photos, previous street photos, as well as the official catalog pictures, it seems to be a grey with a hint of brown 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.

This color perhaps needs to be appreciated in person. Still an up hill effort for me.

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

Speaking of which, the US configurator is live as of today.
