I would never pay 5k for a color like Estoril that is on most 3 and 4 series out there. I'm not paying that much to blend in no matter how much I love the blue lol.
Just as a clarification, TB and the other checkthebox options are really $1400 if you were going to get metallic instead; i.e., Mineral Grey or White are a $550 option so the step up to TB would be $1400 additional
Ahhh thanks for the clarification! That's honestly not bad at all IMO

I noticed that too. If you went over to F-Chat and said you painted a car 'Ferrari Red', a million people would just say WHICH Ferrari Red? There's several. (Although, Rosso Corsa is the most popular).

TB is an amazing color!!! In direct sunlight it is wow! Even in low light it is distinctly blue, i'd call it a dark Interlagos Blue in low light.

It is a hard color to keep clean, a light layer of dirt/dust and it quickly looses its luster and becomes dull looking. Clean it almost looks wet.

Good luck with your choices! At least you have TB as an option, I had to beg BMW. My first request for TB was denied on my M5.

I love Tanzanite! I was very close to getting it, I stuck with Jerez but I really love it.

This may be totally irrelevant, but for those really wanting red. I just painted my brembos for my X5M Indianapolis red. I wanted a reddish type tone and this metallic red is really beautiful. Not too in your face. Looks maroon at night and when the light hits it has great flake.

If I was in the market for a new M3/4 in red. I would definitely consider this color.

You can get any exterior color you want (except M-only colors like monte carlo blue) on any new vehicle for $5000

Just find it odd that two different German car companies would have the same color on their palette:

Suzuka Grey!

Had a 6 Series with Individual Merino Amaro Brown with white piping and it was beautiful. I highly recommend that one.

BMW can do most any other color that another manufacturer has produced. That is why you see some other colors from other manufacturers.

Nice move.

A little Tanzanite Blue tease. Shines and sparkles in the sunshine.


For those not familiar this looks closer to Deep Sea Metallic than anything else IMO. I think DSM was one of the most underrated blues. Love TM though...

Audi also has an Estoril Blue (much darker than BMW's Estoril) and an Imola Yellow. Both companies name a lot of their colors after famous racetracks so it's no surprise that there is some overlap, I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

the configurator doesn't do justice for Amaro Brown because it's more saddle/orange

I find it really funny because that's what I think Imola red is!

There are not too many people that will end up with YMB M3/M4s. Color is a personal choice of course and I suspect that most people will choose to skip this color - as well as the austin yellow.

Here's the problem for you pack-man: it has just a hint - and I'm talking small - but just a hint of purple. That's WAY too close to vikings colors.
I have always found SM blue to be amazing. Interesting thing happened recently however - wife says "did you see the ugly blue on that car in the dealer?". She was referring to SMB. Said to me "who would get a car in that blue - it is almost purple, I hate it". Might have been the lighting - either way, she was amazed by Tanzanite (the color I wanted to order on my GC - but ended up with Imola). PS - BMW of Toronto had both a Tanzanite care and a San Marino Blue. Very cool.
