While PB is very nice blue, it looks quite muted when it sits right next to SMB or Marina Bay. SMB is quite close to MBB with some hint of purple hue.

Me vs Portimao at that same Costco lot lol. No edits.

Does it take longer to order when you go with this color? Currently have an allocation for November and have tanzanite picked with orbit Grey wheels. Really like this color.

In general yes, individual color production lines are different than standard colors. Difficult to say how long it would add in total though. I placed my order in April (dealer had a build slot ready/incoming) and production started May 18th. Took delivery July 20th. Tanzanite is a very nice color but it's quite dark in most settings, just depends what you want! I've attached some pics of tanzanite next to my car for reference, in the sun both colors pop way more though.

PB doesn't have the same pop but it can hang.

Maybe these different angles and light will capture the dynamics of this color. Absolutely beautiful in person.

Here are a couple pics.

Did you install the IND black roundels?

No idea why they came sideways or how to fix it.

Absolutely gorgeous! I have SMB on my f80cs but I would die for that interior! Beautiful combo!

Agreed. In photos looks similar to Portimao. In person, it has so much more depth.

Anyone have pics of SMB with yas buckets?

Thanks, FC 12mm front and back. On Pirellis, minimal rubbing on big bumps at speed. Nothing major. I did heat bend the front fins that was all.
