No. San Marino is San Marino and Tanzanite is Tanzanite.

Just did a bit of research on net and you tube
San Marino blue may be the right "blue" I wanted
sit between YMB and Deep Blue, and not as dark as Tanzanite.
I think it shows the CFR nicely with black wheels as well.
need to talk to SA tomorrow for further details.

I just talked to my local dealer here in South Carolina and he told me that it will cost 5000 for the tanzanite paint. If you've got 5k to blow on paint all I can say is that you're a balla

I doubt your dealer is correct. The price for Tanzanite Blue is only $1950 more for an M6, and on the UK site, it's listed for the M4 at an extra £950. I've asked my dealership about it all week and they can't find a concrete answer for me yet, but either way, I doubt it'll be $5000.

I meant I wasn't bold enough, so which means to me AY is a more adventurous color. LOL

I know people here are harshing on the Tanzanite Blue as an old man color; but I agree with you that Tanzanite over dark brown leather is classic. For example, I just ordered an M6 Gran Coupe with those colors, so please don't trash it. I want the car to be somewhat discreet for people who don't know anything about cars, while I can enjoy my manual transmission M6 "in peace."

Thanks for the support! I'm in a very defensive emotional state now, awaiting build and delivery....
