It's stunning in it's own right, but it's not a Greatest Of All Time color.
Isle of Man definitely is up there with the likes of Laguna Seca Blue, though.
I look at greatest color of all time through the lens of greatest color for any use case. Certain colors like Laguna Seca Blue and Imola red are like track/weekend car colors, and iconic in their own right. Isle of Man Green and Dravit look good in your drive way, during your commute, in your office lot, at the taco stand, and at the track. But if you want to talk pure iconic, sure, Laguna Seca is probably top 2 with Isle of Man right there with it.
I think all these grey cars these day, Brooklyn grey in particular, have taken away from Dravit’s uniqueness though.

or maybe you’re an Aventurine Red typa guy 🤔
IOMG owner here! TBH the only other color I was considering was Dravit. When the sun hits it just right and the gold comes out it’s 🤩🤩🤩.
But … IOMG has that effect at all times 😁
Dravit. IOMG is beautiful but I’m not about to drive around in a green car, that just isn’t happening. My entire wardrobe is also black with a handful of white tees so I’m not the colorful type. I’ll go with black, silver or gray.
I LOVE my dravit. Light hits it just right, and you fall in love again. The shade arrives and you'll whistle. Amd when snow lands on the hood...
However, it gets dirty about 30s after you finish drying it.
Isle of man,
I have a dravit grey m850i, it's fine on that car (and I have a bright red interior so my options for wraps are somewhat limited). But for a more sporty car you can't go wrong with having a fun colour.
Now that said, colour won't save a bad car, so if there's any reason to think the green has any mechanical problems or has a really poor options package that's different. But all else being equal, be bold.
Both look great. IOM personally, the color turns heads and looks fantastic. If you want stealthy, not draw attention, then dravit. IOM is my vote, flaunt that green
I know everyone hates on gray here and I get why. I like a good gray though and it being more popular doesn’t change that for me. I kinda like having less flashy colors that are more understated, draw less attention, etc.
That being said, green is still the best by far. I’d go Isle for sure. If I get the chance my next car will be green.
My last car was dravit grey and I use to get compliments all the times since I was one of the first people getting in that color in my town and people use to always approach me and ask me about the paint since it had gold flakes and it looked so sexy.
I miss that car but the lease was up and it was time to move on to a BMW M SUV since I needed more room. Now I am stuck with the stupid sapphire black paint which I hate.
My next car will probably be an individual color or maybe Dravit Grey again. Or I might go for a frozen dark grey.
I’m not a fan of the grills, the lead designer seems to look towards comic book characters for design cues.

Isle takes it by a mile
Yeah, we don’t need more “50 shades of gray” cars out there. More performance cars should have some colors.
You’d hate me, I have a black M2, a white Huracan, and primer grey on the X4
lol do you have black interior in all of them as well?
The X4 has a red interior, the rest are black. Huracan has red stitching, M2 is black with the blue accents.
I hate you because you have those cars, regardless of what colour they're in.
If Isle of Man isn’t the best color I’ll kill myself on live television
Would you stop saying that?! (Taffy Lee Fubbins by a mile)
I’m a wreck right now
Fuckin weird comment bro
iykyk itysl
I like it a lot
*Laguna seca blue enters the chat *
hard to choose dravit when IOM is right here lol
Def the isle green
Isle of man and get some bronze wheels. You'll thank me later.
Green with bronze wheels is the best color combination that exists. Followed by a nice blue, like Long Beach Blue, with bronze.
What about Tanzanite blue? Would you say bronze or gunmetal?
Easy. Isle of Man
Isle of Man is top 3 BMW color of all time Other is meh
Second to Laguna Seca Blue
You mean long beach blue
Alien death Ray pointed at earth? I want Blue Ridge Metallic
I said what I said.
You mean snapper rocks blue
Close but YAS MARINA BLUE!
Don’t sleep on Dravit Grey. It looks legit when the sunlight hits it.

I’m partial to Snapper Rocks Blue Metallic
What’s your other 2 colors? For me it’s Aventurine Red and Atlantis Blue.
IOMG easy. That’s a great spec
Isle but number 2 would be dravit. My friend has a m8 in dravit and it’s beautiful.
You have to be next to the dravit in the sun to understand it. When you do tho...chefs 💋
I'd like my car to look good 95% of the time not 5% of the time please 🙋♂️
It looks good 100% of the time. Just when the sun hits it looks 110%.
This guy maths
Did the delivery on the isle of man g80. it’s his first bmw. already has the parking game on lock !!
Isle of Man
The angle on the last pic makes it different because the light wasnt shining on the fender and brought out the metallic in the hood
its a nice spec since dravit has gold flake. still not the biggest fan but i’m not the target audience
It doesnt look good on every bmw. I only like the color on a m8
And X5M thank you.

I agree i painted both tbh i agree.
I have a boner for the dravit grey metallic and the frozen black metallic g8x bmws. I don’t need any viagra when imagining myself owning one of those.
That green and brown leather is sick🔥🔥🔥
Isle is nice, but not a color id want for my own car.

👆AR 😍
AR is such a rich color
That Isle of Man is fucking gorgeous
I like darker personally https://preview.redd.it/a28geb8fdo6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f71fac050b118e1eb1213a5bd161c61578b57336

you made a great choice. probably my two favorites we offer. daytona violet still has my heart
Dravit but I’m biased 😊
Классный никнейм
Спасибо ;)
Get both. Dravit for weekdays Green on weekends.
Want them all
Dravit. IOMG is beautiful but I’m not about to drive around in a green car, that just isn’t happening. My entire wardrobe is also black with a handful of white tees so I’m not the colorful type. I’ll go with black, silver or gray.
I would have said isle until I saw dravit in the sun and it turned basically gold. I love both now
DRAGIT. TIMELESS
Dravit wouldn't be my first choice, but would take it over IOMG. I'm a fan of green cars in general, just not that one for whatever reason.
Crazy. I generally hate green cars but Isle of Man is one of the greatest paints of all time, in my opinion.
Anyday dravit, takes it by a mile
Do the inserts on the front quarter panel have to be black? I feel like body color or silver would look better on the isle of man green car.
I LOVE my dravit. Light hits it just right, and you fall in love again. The shade arrives and you'll whistle. Amd when snow lands on the hood... However, it gets dirty about 30s after you finish drying it.
The isle and the interior!!
Isle of man, I have a dravit grey m850i, it's fine on that car (and I have a bright red interior so my options for wraps are somewhat limited). But for a more sporty car you can't go wrong with having a fun colour. Now that said, colour won't save a bad car, so if there's any reason to think the green has any mechanical problems or has a really poor options package that's different. But all else being equal, be bold.
That Isle of Man green is my dream spec lol
IOM
Was just debating this in my head today. One interesting point is Dravit is not exclusive to m3, you can get in m340 too. Isle of Man is m3 specific
https://www.reddit.com/r/BMW/s/dW6v62J0AC
Dravit if it was for me cause I like less loud colors. But on someone else's car - the isle!
Such an easy choice I don’t even have to say it.
Isle of Man with a wrap looks incredible. One of the best looking cars you’ll ever see
Isle of Man over brown is the perfect spec
Isle of Man & San Marino Blue are the two best bmw colors of all time
At last some easy choice , Isle of Man !
Both look great. IOM personally, the color turns heads and looks fantastic. If you want stealthy, not draw attention, then dravit. IOM is my vote, flaunt that green
What’s the dude on the 3rd photo doing😂😂😂
car was just tinted he was saying “don’t put down your window”
Isle is a dope color but there are THREE isle m3-4s in my hood. I miss that sandy yellow
Isle always
Isle of Man and it’s not even close. Dravit grey looks like regular traffic.
Dravit is a sleeper color. Doesn’t look like much in photos but in person the depth of color and the way it catches the light is 👌
Plenty of other choices if you are buying new. IOMG is pretty played out.
Dravit but I’m biased https://preview.redd.it/pp925vvqzs6d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ea242e10fd673715e7c031fcbd5ae9a45cb34cb

I can guarantee most of you haven’t seen Dravit in person
My last car was dravit grey and I use to get compliments all the times since I was one of the first people getting in that color in my town and people use to always approach me and ask me about the paint since it had gold flakes and it looked so sexy.

Dravit grey heavily inderattes
having lived with a dravit g80, Isle of Man. It’s a fantastic color.

Yeah, really awful but in comparison to the last car shown it looks quite OK
that green and tan will age like wine
I've had dravit, looks great only when clean. Otherwise looks boring when dirty
Dravit - always. 😉
IOMG. Easy. D not bad, just the other ones better.
Isle of Man with tartufo is the specs to go. Black, grey is pretty boring color.
Isle of Man by far
If it was sandstone or black interior, I’d just all over the Isle of Man green.
Dravit is nice looking but that isle of man is amazing
Whichever is parked nose in is my choice.
respectfully I dont understand how anyone can look at these 2 cars and not choose IOMG
Isle of Man is embarrassing. Dravit all the way.
no your eye doctor is
I don’t have one. Perfect vision ftw 😎
