I know pictures don't do justice of TB, in person it's an amazing color, but I also haven't seen Azurite Black,if anyone have seen both colors in person especially on m3/m4 would comment I would be thankful.

Jerez is the standard black that was available on the e9x M3. I you've ever seen one in black, it was likely Jerez, although Jet and Carbon were also available. There is a slight amount of purple in it.

I like both and was considering Azurite for quite some time. Bias as I am, I'm happy with TB as I get to see the paint pop more often that if I went with AZB; can't go wrong with either, IMO.

I saw azurite on an M5 and Tanzanite on a M3 at my local dealer. Both are fantastic colors. Azurite is much darker than tanzanite. Tanzanite looks like a dark blue car that has amazing brighter blue highlights in the sun. Azurite looks super dark, almost black that has amazing dark blue highlights. I ordered tanzanite but loved both of them.

As they are both dark, hard to maintain, and hide the CF a bit I would go with AB. It just has some ridiculous pop to it for a dark color.

I dont agree that most black E9x were Jerez. I saw way more Jet Black. I still find it incredibly crappy that Jet isnt offered on the F8x...

tanzanite is deadly. If i were to do an individual, it would either be tanzanite or santorini

The TB is definitely much more Blue than Azurite. The thing that I like about Azurite is that it gets really dark during the night and cloudy days. It is nice and blue on a sunny day. Here are some photos of Azurite Black:
