Source for this? I'd foot the $1800 without second thought, 5k is a lot though

Love the color! I like the rawness of the MPE on the Pistonheads M4.

Sure, check prices in the M5/M6 order guide for the Individual palette. I believe it's $1950, no? I took off a bit for the M3/M4, but worst case it's the same.

Fantastic! Guess I know what Color I'll be going with then

Good lord...I have never been a dark blue kind of guy, but that is truly beautiful.

AlteredBe4st · 06-27-2014, 01:02 PM

Very Nice!!!

remmib · 06-27-2014, 01:05 PM

Very nice color, but a M4 deserve a bolder color I think.

jasemsport · 06-27-2014, 01:11 PM

Tanzanite blue and yellow brake calipers look dammn good...

JoeFromPA · 06-27-2014, 01:14 PM

We need to know pricing on this and confirmation of which colors are available.

At $1800-$1900, I might pull the trigger just to have a unique color here.

Tanzanite is not very dark blue. It's lighter than Interlagos, for example. Still very deep and multidimensional. Looking great seen live. Pictures here are shot in dark day, therefore this colour seems to be much darker. Compared to Jerez Black, this can't be compared at all.

3M TAPE · 06-27-2014, 01:40 PM

I would say this is the color to choose when the ZCP package comes out.
Can't wait!!

That made my day, I was going to say the same thing.
That being said this color does look damn good on this car, classy and low key, much better than diarrhea poop yellowish green AY.

That's what I'm talking about, true OG E36 goodness on a rare and beautiful color, that was a truly great car!

rr006rbc · 06-27-2014, 01:54 PM

Still looks mostly like a 435i with M-pkg lol. Much rather get the M3 just like I would rather have an E90 M3 LCI over an E92 M3

Falafel Combo · 06-27-2014, 01:55 PM

Tanzanite blue is where it's at.

Exhaust is quiet. Don't care what anyone else says. They'll make a ton of money on aftermarket performance exhausts, as will Akrapovic.

Hisam135i · 06-27-2014, 01:59 PM

Looks amazing

Race_Doc11 · 06-27-2014, 02:16 PM

I think the performance parts are going to be a waste if installed on dark colors. I wouldn't do anything except the trunk spoiler.

Kadema · 06-27-2014, 03:24 PM

Hm, isn't that azurite black? I think tansanite blue is even bit brighter.
