Colour is part of personal preference, so it's a little hard to say if it's worth it considering we're all a little biased on this thread.

Ultimately, it is up to you to determine if you like it enough to tack on $1950 more.

Of course, I personally think TB is worth it. I love the transformative property of the colour, how it looks in different lighting scenarios. Brilliant blue with the sun beaming on it, and a moodier darker blue when there's overcast. My favourite is how it looks at night when you fly-by under a streetlight. I also think TB is a very difficult colour to get tired of, so it's a safe option if you plan to hold for long term.
I will say it is very eye catching too, in case that was a factor of paint colour for you. I've gotten way more compliments on the car than I'm comfortable with, people expressing their affection for the beautiful blue. Yet, it's still tame enough so the men in blue don't watch you like a hawk.

I hope my personal opinion helped you a little if any with your decision. There really isn't a colour you can go wrong with on the g8x, but TB is the only one I could see myself in.

Ended up thinking it over and I'm gonna stick with Tanzanite, I just don't see a better combo for me than Tanzanite over Silverstone, so looks like that's what I will stick with. Thanks for the insight

That's the color combo I went with and have in production now…lot of great color combos out there, but I think overall it's the best and worth the extra $1450 over most other color choices.

Nice choice of color combo, though maybe I'm just a little biased. Bright sunlight shot on delivery day at the Performance Center, plus an interior shot when it arrived home, just to tide you over ...

Looks absolutely perfect haha I'm getting so impatient even though I'm still likely 8+ months away. Any specific reason you went with those wheels? I picked the black ones for mine

That's my spec too, and it's definitely worth the wait.

I ordered mine mid April 2022 with an existing allocation the dealer had (from a cancelled order) which was luckily still in 112 with a tentative week 26 build date. It went back to 111 after I modified the build to my specs, then 112 late May and just hit 150. Hang in there buddy, hopefully yours with flip soon!

Love how TBM grabs the sun yet looks close to BSM at night! I have the same spec (TBM, 825M bicolor, wheels, red calipers, CF exterior, etc) but went with full Fiona for something different since I just had Silverstone on my M5C LCI.

Photos are on overcast day, in case it wasn't obvious based on the color.

Oooooooh yeaaaahhh! Body Assembly, baby!!! Just flipped after being in 150 since 6/9!

Looks like about a month to 2 months out. It'll go by fast and slow at the same time lol.
