Never much cared for Yas but I was more than happy to pony up the extra cash for the Tanzanite.

Are you happy with the black 666s? I'm considering switching to silver ones to get maybe a bit more contrast.

Yes, I'm happy with the black wheels but I honestly don't think you can go wrong either way. The silver provide more contrast while the black more stealth...plus they're all black after driving a few days.

so glad I got Az Black for my 435 instead of Tanz Blue or I might have gotten my M4 in AB.

love Tanz Blue; not quite as bright (or as "flashy") as SMB, but also not $5K, like AB was in 2014 for my 435.

Interlagos definitely has some purple; I preferred my Mystic Blue 335.

so glad to have a blue car again!!

YAS to me and it's not even close, I only would have bought the car in this color. The amount of comments I get from people about the color alone is crazy, it just makes the car. It also looks special, like a real ///M. Tanz gets lost in a sea of white/black/blah colors.

Tanz is nice, but tame in comparison imho.

YAS is definitely gaining some traction.

It looks amazing with carbon fiber and I constantly get comments on how beautiful it is. To me, the Tanzanite is closer to black / gray / silver, in that it still looks great, but doesn't really standout.
Agree, YMB has that 1980s day glo look that, like it or not, turns heads and draws attention. I like the color, just not a fit for me. Tanzanite is not an attention getter, and I prefer a darker blue than YMB and especially like how changeable it is in different lighting. On a cloudy day it can be a very deep blue and then really sparkle in direct sunlight. Here in SoCal most days it sparkles.

YMB (or baby blue according to other people) + SO interior. And add some cf bits to the exterior. The car looks so great with the 666 wheels. I would never order my F80 in a different color combination. I agree. YMB grabs attention while TB just blends in. It really just depends on one's personal taste.

Tanzanite is just too dark for me. It looks awesome in direct sunlight but doesn't impress me in any other light. If you don't want something as light as YMB then I would pay for a true individual blue instead of going halfway with Tanzanite.

Very nice pic for comparison! You see, your car looks like a proper M Car, the Tanzanite blue is just lost in the mix....

Those are definitely pretty unfavorable pics of Tanzanite. Probably the lighting conditions I hate the most for this color. Combined with dark wheels it looks too monotonous here. But no doubt, YMB for sure is the more striking color, so if somebody is looking for something flashier, then this is the choice between those two colors.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Tanzanite is almost a color you expect to see on a 540i with cognac interior. Nothing about it says M car imo. Elegant? Yes! Mature? Yes! M car worthy color? Ehh... not so much.
