I would say GT looks very similar to Nardo, which are both darker and discernable compared to BG (I would say BG is closer to Chalk than it is to GT). I would add, neither BG nor GT are similar to SSG, IMO (I would definitely choose BG or GT over SSG).

Yep, BG is much lighter and different tone than GT, but it's still got that milky pastel look.

Telesto is stunning but the cost for it and mandatory carbon roof are a stretch.

Dravit and Grigio are honestly super similar, the primary difference being the color of the metallic flake.
Dravit has that amber colored sparkle, and Grigio is neutral, otherwise the hue is very close.

Here’s a photo of my boss’s Grigio F90 in the sunlight for reference.

Hey, any updates? 👀

At this point it likely won't be up for a couple more weeks. I don't know what always takes them so long, really is ridiculous.

You'd think they'd have the easy stuff ready to go on the same day as the drop lmao.

It is ready, I can see it. Just isn't published yet.

many many moons ago i had a WRX in java black pearl which had a similar gold/amber shimmer in the sunlight... i swore that i would one day get another with a similar effect and dravit has it for sure. thats what really attracts me to the dravit IMHO, the color shift in direct sunlight is stunning. i dont believe grigio does that

You are correct, Grigio has a small amount of sparkle, but its all grey through and through.

Over a week since allocations started coming in, system is still only showing 4 vehicles equipped with 490 individual paint in the U.S.

Are the vast majority of dealers dragging their feet submitting the request forms, or is nobody actually ordering individual paint?

Are they still slowly releasing allocations? The dealership I placed my order at still hasn’t gotten any yet.

I would imagine that they have all been distributed at this point, the total number showing in the system (272) hasn’t changed since Thursday of last week.

If it’s a smaller dealership, they may have simply not received any M2 allocations for August production.

I'm confused. So, Cognac is or isn't available in '25 M2?

No cognac, see the very first post of this thread.

Dunno if anybody else saw this yet but the regular m2 model Page on the Australian site has the colors and wheels up to look at. Not the build page.

Multiple other sites have been up too such as Germany, UK, etc. USA is always one of the very last to go live.

Ah I've just been checking the build pages and none of those display the individual colors

The silver wheels look great. I don't get why they're offering two grays but no metallic silver.
