I find Tazanite very boring, its just another version of Carbon blue, not blue not black, just very dull imo

This is coming from a guy who drove a Carbon Black BMW in the past
I owned a E39 M5 Carbon Black. Tanzanite is much more blue.

BG

Anyone else surprised that BG essentially just looks like Glacier Silver in that visualizer? At ~44:30 for those that didn't get that far. Looked nothing like HS and even less like Nardo which some have compared it to.

Like HS, maybe its one you really need to see in person as the early M2 comp pics never did that color justice.

How do you think they would look in SRB or Atlantis Blue?

I can see them adding some more color options for the 2023 MY

Tanzanite looks like a bland shade of black in anything except very bright sunshine or under bright and direct LED lighting. I'd say it is 98% black, and 2% blue. If you work very hard, have perfect lighting, and get the right angle you can get a photo that makes it look blue. But pictures don't really reflect reality.

It gets literally ZERO attention at car shows or gatherings.
San Marino M2? One can get an individual paint on an M2?

I owned a Carbon Black M3 E46 and now a Tanzanite Blue F80 and TB is definitely more blue. I actually like its look undere cloudy weather conditions either.

But of course if someone is looking for something in the direction of royal blue, then it's not the right choice.

Agree, chalk would be fantastic. As I said above, Brooklyn Grey looks much more like traditional silver than either grey or chalk to me though

How did you get to $84,720? I’m sitting at $66,680 and I didn’t add the CB seats and Exec Pkg, which if I did would put me at $71,000. Adding the Exterior Carbon would be $76,000
