Went into BMW of ******** to pick up some parts, and one of the sales guys took me into their back storage to show me the newly delivered G80 M3 Competition. It was dirty from the shakedown after delivery servicing, but holy crap was I surprised by the new Tanzanite II. I can't believe I haven't seen it yet, but I think that it is a great dark color for the G80. It looks really quite purple, only lighter and "bluer" when in the sun or direct light.
Check out the pics below. BTW, the front grilles really aren't that bad in person, seriously. North American plates would really look horrible. If you live where you have to have one, you may have to do one of those Euro shaped plates with your actual license plate number on it to get around it. Would love to see a G80 with the exterior carbon package in person. I really hope they sell the G81 in North America, because I will be putting down an order at whatever markup the dealer wants!
