much better looking than that stupid f-ed up beaver clown G80...maybe my next ride.... wish it wasn't as heavy and agree these wheels look ugly and have no place on a 120K car....

Yeeeeeee!! That's because it does bruh, on mah momma. Alvit is CQM but with a different name. Like OP said, this paint is very complex and I also wager that paint matching will be extremely difficult. Keep it one hunid mayn!





Just dropping in to say I love that CQM F31. Is that Coral Red leather? Still miss my MG/CR F31!

Thank you homie! Yes, the interior is Coral Red. I love the MG/CR 'can't go wrong' combo. What was the reason you sold your F31?

Needed something with some more kick in the pants once the lease was over, and since they refused to sell the G21 here, we got a Macan GTS. Volcano Grey over Garnet Red. I loved that F31 though. After a tune, and some good rubber, she was a nearly perfect daily. Even had the leather dash which was a standalone option for like a second back in 2014. Really wish they would have sold the I6 wagon here...

I hear ya on the extremely limited engine choices we got here. I think F31 sales would have been significantly better if they offered it with an I6. Regardless, the N20 and B46 offer more than enough power for the masses.

My wagon was special ordered so I also got the leather dashboard as well. For (iirc) $950 it was a no brainer. I see you even spec'd the rare ACC option on yours! I didn't get ACC on mine but still wonder if I should have or if it would have been rarely used.

Hi all! I'm looking to buy a new M5 LCI and there are limited color options to see in the showrooms here in Europe. Alvit grey looks like a great option.. UNEEDHP can you possibly post some more pictures or create your own topic to further introduce yourself + the car ? Thanks!!

I have the following options:
Brands Hatch Grau, Donington Grau and Alvit Grey.

Unforuntately there is only one in the showroom (Donington) here.. with black rims. (706m). It looks great.. but not sure if the others are better. So if there are more photo's available.. please!

Uhm, they all start wit a different letter of the alphabet? You put them in the wrong order though. What grey starts with the letter E?

Let's see if I can do this without looking it up:

Champagne Quartz/Alvite = Identical code/Perl Effekt formulation; differ in Name only.

Dravit = Metallic

Bernina = Iriodin Xirillac Amber Effekt

A friend of mine have a CQ M4C. Very complex, cool and classy color. Switches from grey to bronze in different lighting. Definitely looks special.

Looks like Alvite Grey is not exactly champagne quartz metallic. Different paint codes: C5E and X08 respectively. Wouldn't make sense for BMW to drop X08 and use C5E with a new name. I don't think BMW has ever done that before. Supposedly Alvite is a bit darker than champagne quartz but they look very similar. Probably need to have both colors side by side to notice any differences.
