Just picked this gal up! The late day sun was directly on it at the dealership so snapped some photos before sundown. More/better photos to come!

Very nice.

Eye-watering

Have my M3 in the exact same colour scheme, only difference is mine opted buckets. Picking it up next week!

Beautiful! Anxious to see/drive mine; as kjx noted, seeing other forum members' new cars has this 'sustaining' effect that makes the wait bearable. Enjoy in good health!!!

mjbernatz · 12-07-2021, 09:59 PM

Absolutely stunning! Love the TBII. Enjoy!

Took delivery of mine today at the Performance Center — 1 of 8 deliveries today!

'Cane · 12-08-2021, 08:45 PM

PCD is fun, can’t wait to get up there, hopefully early February.

Congrats! Glad you were finally able to take delivery. Enjoy the drive home!

RichardGM4 · 12-09-2021, 07:59 AM

Looks stunning!

Just got back from ceramic!

Evidently some great cold clear skies over there for all these latest Tanz shots. Keep them coming--stunning images.

PWB · 12-11-2021, 11:49 PM

TBII in sunlight

luckylingy · 12-13-2021, 09:16 PM

I never realized until I detailed my own M4 how curvaceous the fenders are. They suggest the box flares of the E30 M3, and the upswept crease along the lower door/rear fender recalls the E92. Dark metallic colors really set off thees subtle details in the right lighting!

Anyone know why the pictures post sideways?

Looks like another Tanzy will be joining the county!!

Just submitted my build for wk 3 build (but not holding my breath given all the delays).

Still torn over the colors…
TBII over orange m carbons w/826M bi-color red calipers

I really like the red m carbons, but not into Superman look. Was considering Dravit over red m carbon. I gotta check out the swatches in person tomorrow before my build flips.

Thoughts?

Anymore pics, particularly of you red interior with TBII?

So I placed my M4x ordered yesterday for a wk 3 build, but of course I'm vacillating on the specs. Current build:

TBII over full Kyalami buckets w/826M bi-color and red calipers.

I'm torn about the orange, as I think the buckets in Fiona red look better and would go better with red calipers? But I think that combo is too Superman for my liking. I never liked the Superman combo, but maybe TBII is dark enough to make it work?

Or do I play it safe and go with full Silverstone buckets, but I had that exact color combination with one of my many F80s and I wanted to try something different.

As an aside, I'm surprised I'm not going with the 825M bi-color, as you know I'm not typically a fan of darker/black wheels. I don't like the 825M orbit grey bc of the contrast lip.

Honestly, so you thought the TBII over Kyalami looked good together? And the red calipers don't conflict with the orange interior?

But yet you end up with gorgeous SMB over Silverstone buckets!! Haha I loved my SMB M3CS! Curious why you didn't go with full Silverstone? Is that bc of the silver along the bottom of the dash?

My current M4x order is TBII over full Kyalami buckets, but I'm questioning it. I had TB over Silverstone in one of my previous F80s, and not sure whether I should play it safe and do it again, or stick with orange.

I don't think TBII w/FR would be considered Superman combo at all. Too dark of a blue IMO. PB or any other lighter blue w/FR would definitely be Superman combo.

Yeah, I think you might be right. But still not sure it's for me.
This morning I went and checked out color swatches. Keep in mind this blue pictured is not TBII (Imperial Blue) but close imo w/Fiona
