This is the Dravit Gray, correct? I know that I want this color exterior but need to decide on Tartufo or Amerone for the interior. I also can’t decide if I want the 760i or the 740. I can be so indecisive sometimes. Lol!

This is dravit. I am also torn between 740 and 760. Drove them back to back and 760 definitely feels/ride a class above 740 so definitely is worth the extra $. Also I saw Amarone in person and it is an amazing interior. It is darker than anything we see online and it looks so expensive and luxurious tartufo looks nice but that color is overused imo like all mfgs have color like that and been around for ages

I’m very interested in what difference you saw between the 760 and the 740. My understanding is aside from the engine, that they have the same suspension and I would assume the interior noise or should I say quiet, would also be the same, but I may not be correct. Also, I guess the other difference is the rear wheel steering on the 760. How was the difference in the ride between the two?

I pushed both hard in sport mode around corners on a curvy road and 760xi hands down felt more in control and confident. Also the engine has more character. 740s engine is definitely more than enough but if you drive them back to back you’d notice the difference.

Hey, that's my dealership (in Berkeley)!

I like the interior color, but I don't agree with others re the exterior color. That gray looks like many other cars to me; it just doesn't pop. I'd prefer the Adventurin Red or Tanzanite Blue - at least from all photos/videos. Of course I could change my mind if I personally view the colors on the vehicles in the daylight.

Otherwise, I'm waiting for a test drive from Berkeley (or any of a half-dozen immediate SF Bay Area dealerships) of an i7 eDrive50.
This is why they make them in different colors.
I happen to prefer these cars in dark colors and Carbon Black is IMHO spectacular. But others would not agree, which is just fine. I'm glad they have different colors from which to choose.
