Freshly dirty Tanzanite Blue II G80 Competition
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com 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!

My camera picked up how the color looked in person pretty well I would say. I feel like they took Carbon Black and made the blue hues in it much brighter shades of purple/blue. Difficult to explain. Very dark blue/purple though. I personally really like it, subtle yet has a bit of character.

Agree! we have a Tanz M4 on the lot now and def is a great color on these. I was never really a huge fan of tanz, I like it, but not my top 3. However seeing this color with the orange interior def changed my mind. Its a great color!

I saw it too on an M4 and it looks great. But TB is too dark for my taste.

Probleme with those dark blue is they don't look well with Black. color association of a car usually match regular color association. And dark blue and black is not good. Portimao is much lighter so it is beter. What i don't get is why they are only black wheels ? Some are off course grey and black, but none are full silver like ? that will change the look by a lot.

If you think other colours are hard to capture in pics, this one is even worse. In person it looks fantastic, especially when the sun hits it. If you prefer a darker colour you don't do wrong taking this one, it is awesome ! For me it was too late to change, I would have picked it to be honest. |

What paint did you order your car in? Don't see many Swiss on here. Although 99% of the time I'm over on E90post with the other boomers.
