Wow, that's gorgeous!

BMW is capable of making all these colours.. they really need to start making more of them an individual colour that doesn't add 2 months to the build time and cost 5.5k more like tanzanite. I know I know, it takes away from the rarity and doesn't make sense business wise, but damn.. would love to see more gorgeous colours like this on the street.

NICE!! Great color

Yup....they charge that amount for the individual paint, because they can.....and because we are willing to pay for it. Almost makes me think the stock colors are what they are on purpose. I am looking for the color I want my next M to be even though I am not ready to order.....and it most likely will be individual

IM2C · 09-27-2017, 08:37 PM

HFS! Would like to see it under sunlight and shade. Amazing.

x.shell · 09-27-2017, 11:06 PM

What a beautiful color.

YMBdoc · 09-28-2017, 04:55 AM

Reminds me of an individual color called Bluewater

Blksnowflake · 09-28-2017, 06:51 AM

It is very nice, but it just looks like a light blue. I'd still choose YMB over this and save the money.

gatorfast · 09-28-2017, 07:57 AM

Neat color. Would love to see some sunlight pics.

jstnstr · 09-28-2017, 11:10 AM

Wow that?s an awesome color. I actually just got back from the Maldives this week. Incredible place.

Colinv6 · 09-28-2017, 11:19 AM

Hmmmm I don't know if I'm feeling it...

It's very washed out and dare I say quite feminine....

It's one of those colours I don't even think would be complimented well by carbon bits..

Tanzanite Blue is only $2k more ... where are you getting $5.5k?

The Individual colors on the website are cheaper than the non-factory/cross brand Individual colors i.e. San Marino Blue, Ferrari Red, Nardo Grey, Fashion Grey, etc.

+1. It's a colour that your eyes just skip over. It's definitely not a 'statement' blue. I'm not a fan.

Okay. But again, where does +$5.5k come from on the Tanzite Blue?

There are 2 sets of individual colors:

individual "collection" which are on the configuator - these are $1950 or whatever and don't add time to your build, i.e. Tanz
individual "manufaktur" which are special order - ~$5500 and add lots of time to your build

If you re-read AhsanU's post you'll see that he was saying Manufaktur colors should be available, priced, and delivered more like Collection colors, and providing Tanz as an example.

Are you SURE you still don't smoke doobies? Cause you seem kinda high. a lot.

They do add a small amount of time to your build. Usually just 1-2 weeks instead of (potentially) months.
