The agony of choosing color! Tanzanite or Yas Marina?
Yes, this is another color poll.
This will be my 2nd f80. Currently I drive AW/SO. I ordered another M3 a few weeks ago and it goes into production in a couple of weeks. Already changed ext. color twice! I'm set on Silverstone interior. I'm getting ZCP with black Satans. YMB - every time I saw it in person I loved it! Love the CF roof contrast. Looks great with CF bits and tint. Tanzanite - Classy! It would probably look better with silver 666 wheels. I only saw it once in Cali a few months ago. I wish I could look at them back to back, but it's not logistically easy where I live. I hate drawing attention and that's why I'm hesitating to order YMB. Please vote.

That was an easy poll to answer for me since I really dislike YMB, looks too much like smurf blue to me. On the other hand, I find Tanzanite to be really elegant with a lot of depth to it, it is a color I like a lot.

I can't believe this is a poll - there are three people in the world that like Yas and those are the three who actually bought it on accident!
j/k - it does look better in person - but wow, vs. Tanzanite? not even close. And yes, the silver wheels go better - wish they offered the 19s in silver with the CP. Would be a stunning car.

$5k seems like a robbery. Just kidding...

I'm confused. Do you have LSB or YMB?

And I've decided: 1) I'll never do black paint again (can't keep clean; prone to blemish blasphemy) 2) I'll never invest in a custom paint unless I have a personal detailer and a dedicated garage for the car |

Could you please elaborate, especially since we are both in FL and see our cars under same lighting conditions. Thanks!

You do realize YMB is one of the colors with the highest uptake. One of the reasons I don't like it is precisely because of its so popular...M3/4s are not very common yet every time I see another one on the road it is usually YMB.
With that said my vote went YMB...love it! Quote:

And it is sad when that’s the only blue (to me) and the only way to get another blue is to drop an additional $1,250. Then again, that’s bettter than the red choices. |

I will say though the best part about YMB is it certainly shows the lines very well and makes it obvious it is an M car whereas dark colors like black tend to blend in and make the unique M features such as the wheel arches and hood bulge difficult to see, especially from a distance. |

That's pretty unlikely. Here is the final breakdown for the E9x generation. Interlagos Blue - a color that, more than likely, has greater mass appeal than Yas Marina Blue - was handily outsold by white, black, gray, silver (as is typically the case with most production vehicles). We can expect the F8x generation to turn out similarly.

That being said, they aren't YMB in most of the cases, but they are not uncommon by any measure. I'd say most of them are white or black. A close third would be YMB. |
