Still hardly any shots of this car in good sunlight. I'm starting to wonder if this Tanzanite is darker than the previous? It seems a lot different from photos.

Interesting because I actually thought it looked brighter? I've only seen the previous TB in person once, and TBII in pictures looks like it has a bit more pop to it IMO.

Not sure - but the two days I went in to the dealer it was overcast out. Still have it on order with tartufo!

I didn't really notice any differences between TB and TBII.

Another thing to mention is the fact that the color does not necessarily look much brighter under sunlight. The reflective parts are of course much brighter, no question, but the rest seems almost darker to me than under cloudy weather, if that makes sense. And to be honest, I perhaps even like the color best in certain cloudy weather conditions, even more than under direct sunlight.

So if someone is hoping for the color to look brighter (like royal blue or something of that nature), he might want to go with a different color. I myself wanted a dark (navy) blue color, not lighter than TB is, so it was just right for me. But if you prefer it brighter, you should take Portimao Blue or an Individual color.

Thanks for the feedback! I took want a darker blue - but with some character. I think with the chance to see it actually reflect at times- I'll be very satisfied with my decision. Plus, I'm looking forward to having tartufo - which I think will only bring out a bit more blue from the paint.

Portimao is way to bright for my liking.

Tanzanite Blue + Tartufo will look lovely, that's for sure. Would be one of my top 3 combos.

Looks basically the same to me, in cloudy weather or partly sunny looks as pictured earlier in the thread... in the sun though, it truly pops.

At first I was just looking at the color and saying wow this car looks really good... but then looking at the pictures again realized, oh, this is an F80 😂

I did a deep dive to see if they were the same. Seems that they are with just a different paint supplier.

My local dealer has had this M4 on the lot for a month or so. I love TBII but this spec is umm... Not the best IMO. The black 826s aren't my favorite with TBII, but worse than that is the interior combo which kinda clashes with the exterior (again IMO). If somebody likes it, maybe they can score a deal...[IMG]undefined[/IMG]

Was your phone having a stroke when you took these? I agree that the interior clashes. It looks awful.

Thank you! I knew I loved it, just wanted to make sure.

Now to hopefully get some higher quality shots of tartufo before my car starts production in two weeks. I think it will work wonderfully, just want to be reassured.

Anyone have any pics of TB with the chrome headlight thingy? Not sure if this is a noticeable design element or not.
