Got to the dealer later than I expected so was too dark to get any good pictures. It attracted a ton of attention parked and on the way home. More pics later.

Not sure why the bow…

Are you happy you decided to delete the extended shadowline trim? My build right now has it kept in there but considering deleting for the chrome exhausts to blend with the 825m bi-color wheels.

Yes, I'm happy with that choice. I wanted body color for the rear spoiler and mirror caps (upper half). And you're right: polished silver of exhaust tips echoes bi-color 825M rims and badge I added to fender air breathers.

TZBII with Tartufo interior - had G82 M4 and F body’s before. Love this car, still a covertible, but what a convertible!

Beautiful!! Congrats!

wishman · 02-11-2022, 11:59 PM

After a few months without an M car, ecstatic for the new one to arrive!

'Cane · 02-12-2022, 09:35 AM

Since my G82 has been stuck in for 3+ months, I decided to look to see what's out there. Local dealer has a Tanz/Silverstone G80 xDrive in the showroom, but with a $10k ADM. I tried to deal with them, but they're super unreasonable. Tanzanite is really beautiful in person, oh well.

Edit: I also drove up in a brand new Giulia Quad that my fried was trying to get me to buy, and they didn't even care about trying to get my business.

Yeah I've seen a general slide to the negative from sales staff as well. Even before the pandemic it was luck of the draw whether you actually were able to connect with a competent CA and dealership that expressed that they cared about your business. I somewhat attribute this to the internet business model. Where the customer interface has largely become transactional rather than relations based. Now fast forward to today and the slide is definitely continuing IMO.

Great pics and great car... Do you already have spacers on your wheels and if so, what size?

Thanks!

Jtejero · 02-13-2022, 12:30 PM

No spacers, bone stock, just think the CV looks like it does due to changes for the top to the body behind the doors, IMO, which has no technical knowledge behind it

Looks great! I'm receiving the same car in the next few weeks, but with black interior and red discs. (If I had seen your pics first, mine would have tartufo interior & black brakes

Yours looks PERFECT. Is that a moonlight top? Also, would love to see a shot with more interior color and little exterior, if you get a chance.

Thanks for the response!

Jtejero · 02-13-2022, 03:14 PM

It is the moonlight top. Its hard to explain, it does shift, but not like the paint. In a typical murphy’s law thing, we have had almost nothing but rain here in SWFL since we got the car. The outside color shifts from crazy sparkle blue under a paint light all the way to black in dark conditions. Sorry for low light pics, rain again. Will get some better ones this week when the sun comes back out. My wife loves the tartufo with piano black interiors, I can compromise!!!

Awesome pics. Interior looks great! Thanks again Jterjero

Just took delivery of my M4Cx .. fully optioned with all packages except carbon exterior. It's a beast, can't wait to run it and give it a workout ..

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

If your dealer is cooperative, you might try riding around with those color swatches for a couple/few days. Before I ordered my M4, I intended to order an M3 in Dravit Grey; it was down to Tartufo or KO for the interior color. After riding around with a KO leather swatch for a bit, I reached a conclusion. It helped to see it in my peripheral vision (swatch on the passenger seat) in various lighting. You might evolve your perceptions and preference with a little 'seat time' with each color.

And yet you ultimately went with Silverstone!

IDK, I think I may play it safe and go back to the Silverstone camp despite having the same combination (Tanzanite over Silverstone) on one of my F80s. I think the G8x interior (full leather) is different enough to not make it seem too much of the same. Ultimately, I think the Kyalami's orange bottom dash in full leather is just too much orange. I think the full Silverstone is more balanced overall. Additionally, this isn't a lease, so I need to consider future potential buyers—then again, who am I kidding as I would trade it in somewhere.

Love this color combo!
