Congrats! Love this color more and more. Finally getting antsy for mine to arrive. Was able to finally see a DG on Tartufo in person the other day and that sealed it for me. October can't come soon enough

Not a DG

My wife drives a DG X6m50i

This is "Brands Hatch Grey Metallic"

Honestly I have a hard time telling the difference. I think the DG has a bit more green to it, especially in the light. This one has more of a gold flake.

No idea why they make two colors that are so similar.

You're right about the color being Brands Hatch. Hope BlessedBimmer knows he posted a picture of BHG. Maybe he thought it was Donington..Maybe he saw Donington and ordered the right color.

They are not remotely the same. I had DG M5 and now BHG M5. Donington is just a liquid silvery shiny grey. Loved it. Never saw any green. Brands Hatch is much darker, richer with a hint of brownish blue maybe. Not near the pizzaz in the sun. my 2 cents

Whoah, unless was right next to each other, honestly couldn't see a different. I think it's in the G80 or G30 forum someone snapped a pic side by side and the difference really stood out. Congrats nonetheless still gorgeous!

Ok. I finally figured it out. You love Dravit Grey (DG). People (me included) have been calling Donington Grey DG.

Derp.

BTW....Dravit/Tartufo is gonna kill.

My mineral white M850I GC. I scoured the web looking for pictures of mineral white with carbon fiber bits and there weren't many good ones, so I've decided to post pictures as I add them to mine, starting with the grill. Looks great by the way and have the mirror caps and side trims on the way, as well as the black exhaust finishers and front and rear bumper carbon fiber kit retrofit pieces. I also have a picture of the gloss black emblems from IND Distribution as I didn't see any pictures of those either (Ignore the dirty car )

Agreed, for me, I would say Dravit is superior as it is a lot more interesting in light, but BHG has it's moments too.

My guess is they liked the dark grey on the 8 enough to want to have it as a standard color, but the mineral/rock-based named colors are all more expensive, and of course, not named after a racing circuit; so they came up with a similar shade that was cheaper to manufacture with a proper name to boot.

all good. Yeah often see DG interchanged for Donington and Dravit. Haven't seen any 8 series in Donington and not too much into lighter cars anymore at least not for the 8.
