Tanzanite Blue II Metallic Paint Pictures

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

This is my first BMW order, and I'm seeing lots of great pictures of SPY, Grey, and IOMG, but little to no love for TBII. Anyone have some decent high-sun pictures of TBII they can share, even with a previous model? The dealer I ordered from has zero cars in stock with that color, so I've been relying upon videos/pics from other cars.

I ordered TBII and it arrives at the dealer any day now. I'm super anxious since I haven't seen the color in person or on the G80, except for a few poor-lit pictures.

Here's a TB M4 at our local dealership. Those are not my pictures but I'll be there tomorrow and should be able to take some more.

Yes, more pics please!

It looks good with the black wheels.

I have it on my 7 it’s an excellent choice. Just wash it properly to keep the swirls down. You will not be disappointed. Substantial depth when clean in the sunlight. 60/40 blue/purple with a lot of flake give or take.

TB is hot AF, I think it's probably my favourite color, but I also hate my car looking anything other pristine, so that precludes any sort of dark color. I went BGM. Massively tempted by IOMG, just a little unsure about how well it will wear

Goddammit. That looks awesome. I have TB2 on our M340i and I'm trying to avoid just M-ifying my 3 series in same color/body. This is first I've seen M4 in TB2 and it makes me sway that way but I otherwise don't love the G82. This just looks so good.

Yes! Always wanted to see TB with the orbit grey wheels...wow it looks great (lighting in that garage is very good too haha).

Tb is lookin mighty fine on the M4 too.

wakahakalaka · 03-01-2021, 10:31 AM

These are fantastic! I'm really glad I picked TB2, based on these pics!

drkenng · 03-01-2021, 11:28 AM

have TB (1, I guess) on current M4 and will almost certainly get it (TB-2) again. Better than the Azurite Black I had on my 435. Almost wish they had stayed w the hardtop 'vert.

Very purple to my eyes

My car arrived at the dealer today, but unfortunately, can't release the car until 13 March. They let me take it around the block to get a feel for it, and I'm in love. Now I gotta wait 2 weeks to take delivery
