Are there any Tanzanite Blue F80 M3 pics out there?

All I could find is this 335i M Sport in TB. I think the M3's hips and lines would really make this color pop.

Here's M4. Have not seen in M3

Yes, I've seen those before, however, with the more aggressive look of the M3 I think this color will look great especially when clean and in direct sunlight.

What is the added cost for the tanzanite individual paint? It's awesome!

$1900 is what's been passed around.

If I'm paying for individual paint I want a more striking colour than this. It's ok but nothing more to my eyes.

I agree.. It's a very nice color but it's not, I don't know bold enough, for the extra money, IMO. But I'm considering moonstone so what do I know.

I'd say you know the definition of sophisticated but sporty

It looks a lot better in the sun.

I think both Tanzanite and Moonstone fall in the same category IMHO. They aren't really going to blow your mind as I don't think they are that bold. But for only $1400 more over regular metallic paint, I think that's fair.

I just wished they'd bring more old school colors back for $1900. Inca Orange, Imola Red, Techno Violet.... I'd be all over those!

Exactly! Even Moonstone I'm having a hard time with; looks great in one pic, but ehh in another. Then I see pics of TaylorGame's black m4 from MPact and think that looks great! Then I go hmmm maybe Azurite black M4 would be different enough... 'round and 'round I go between dark, light, coupe, sedan lol

Now if like you said, Techno Violet were offered for $1900 I'd have my mind made up already!

Honestly, I never thought Moonstone ever looked meh when I had one for the weekend. It's a good looking color, but for me, it's not worth $5000 back in the E9x days. I also happen to like the normal color choices on the F80/2 (I'm in love iwth AY), so that's why I'm not all that crazy about these $1900 colors.

I'd sell my soul for a Techno Violet F80 btw, with CF roof and Rust interior

[ss134]

Techno violet would be awesome I agree.

You can get your techno violet, however it will be more than $1900. See my other thread with attached PDF's here for more colors. --> http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1008116

*Note: some older colors from BMW were using lead based paints, so the exact color cannot be reproduced. However, they may be able to replicate the color very close to the original color for you.

Yea I figured you can go through proper Individual (and $5k price tag). It would certainly be very unique, but boy that's expensive. Don't get me wrong, I adore my TV E36, but I don't think I like the color THAT much more than AY.

You still haven't told us what you are ordering Biglare, I'm getting curious

It is an individual tanzanite blue E92 M3.

It takes on many different shades of blue.







Same car on a cloudy day.

Another tanzanite blue in the sun.

Yea, $5K for TV is a lot.. I've been looking at this thread over and over and I dunno, I might have to do Moonstone over SO full leather IF these pictures are an accurate representation lol

Who am I kidding, I'll still debate over YMB, SS, AZB and MS up until I actually pull the trigger.

moonstone FTW!!

It'd look really damn good with SO. Those pics are pretty accurate, just realize that those pics were taken on a very sunny day. On darker days, it's a bit more pearlescent and has some pretty crazy colors to it too.
