My First M: Tanzanite blue F80 finally delivered!-***updated pics page 10

AMPowerJ · 01-27-2015, 07:25 AM

That's a beautiful car! It looks great with the silver wheels and the SS interior. Nice job!

Zee Dgerman · 01-27-2015, 07:50 AM

Congratz! Looks great, almost looks black. I didn't realize it was such a dark colour. I agree with the others, silver wheels do look better on darker cars, makes for a nice contrast.

jsplayin · 01-27-2015, 07:50 AM

Silver wheels look great on this color

you sir, have great taste.

My sentiments EXACTLY. Such a great combo! Tanzanite highlights the lines of this car so well and it just looks 100% classy. And I agree with you Dinh, I think black side grills would look amazing. Keep it simple and classy. You honestly can't go wrong with that. I'm so much looking forward to more pics! This car honestly has me questioning whether I want to get Tanzanite instead of MW... Hmmm.

Beautiful!

Sweet baby Jesus this color combo is so beautiful

richb811 · 01-27-2015, 10:12 AM

Awesome story Dinh335.

Never feel like you don't deserve it or the M3 is too much of a good thing. It's a thing a lot of people will never understand, and can't really be put into words unless you are a car guy who's finally got his hands on one.

Enjoy the car, love the color!

Maddict3 · 01-27-2015, 10:12 AM

Looks wonderful! Enjoy it in good health

Thanks! it really does change in lighting like a lot of colors, but the colors in particular are ones i like (blue black). In real bright gas station white lighting it's an even lighter, very electric blue which is cool, but most times a dark blue that I really like.

Agree, in person really a dynamic color. I had a little concern it was too much like stockl imperial blue but it's much nicer imho, seeing a few pics of others with Tanzanite (myzmak, ciprian) really helped seal the deal for me.

Do it! I was set on Silverstone until I saw a few pics of Tanzanite. In hindsight I'm SO happy i went this way. As you prob know we've had horrible weather on the east coast, so once it clears up I'll get some more pics up.

Will do, once the snow clears and weekend hits I'll get some more pics with a real camera.

Thanks everyone for the nice words! There are a few other Tanzanite's on this board so thanks to those guys too for getting me hooked.

Justin@autocouture · 01-27-2015, 10:28 AM

In love with this color great choice

karussell · 01-27-2015, 10:29 AM

nice color! you can have the reflectors tinted if you want them darker.

ckortane · 01-27-2015, 10:30 AM

Congrats. Glad to see you finally got your ///m baby!

I put winters on my black wheels and looking to get silvers for the summers

. Love seeing the silvers on the TZ blue. I love the blacks too but think the contrast of silvers looks awesome.

very well may go that route, really surprised there isn't a clear option somewhere yet, or slightly smoked. Only thing I've seen is for the standard sport bumper reflector

jb001 · 01-27-2015, 10:32 AM

Congrats, looks amazing!
I think i just found the perfect color for my next car. I hope we'll be able to choose this color for the upcoming M2. I prefer this over azurith. Nice combo with those wheels. Just perfect!!

MSport28 · 01-27-2015, 10:32 AM

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! I personally would've left the carbon roof but I love your F80! Please post more pictures of the interior & perhaps with the door open to see the combo of exterior/interior.
