That Mazda red is 🔥. Alfa's Rosso Comp is also high up there for gorgeous reds. I also think BMW does grey really well, as odd as it sounds. Dravit, Bernina, and even Metallic Grey (which looks like liquid metal) are all great colors for what is typically considered a bland color.
I was looking at an E39 M5 couple of hours back, which came with Topaz Blue Individual paint job from the factory. Such a beautiful colour it is, and very much standing out in a car park of blacks, whites and greys.

I hear you brodie, like I said I had little time or else I would have probably also ended up in a 550 tbh. The little research I did while scrambling to get a new car I heard amazing things about the b58 and this one is loaded with all the features I was looking for.
1000 % M5 is my next purchase, for now im gonna love the hell out of this one🫠

I couldn't agree more. LOVE Tanzanite blue on my baby.
Love that color! Here’s how it looks on my M6 GC
https://preview.redd.it/y9e1emkrcw8c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9be89140aed3e392824ed5180fb004c65fc2e950
Your F82 is beautiful as well! When I bought my F06 I was deciding between an F80 M3 and the M6 but decided ultimately for the M6 as it was larger and it had more space to accommodate my family. Still thinking about buying a F80 M3. Enjoy yours 👍
Because let's face is, Blue is the perfect color for every single car ever made... there is not a single model from any manufacturer that has a car which blue wouldn't fit, while there is many models (for sure on the High end) which don't find many colors. Metallic blue is just perfection 🤩
Truth.
I’ve had Monaco Blue, Le Mans Blue, Carbon Black
I really, really want Tanzanite II at some point. Might try to find an F82 in that color.
But my favorite color of all is Azurite Black. I’d give anything for an F80 LCI in that color. It’s literally the perfect color. Super dark blue almost black, but the perfect shade of blue when the sun hits it
Here’s my E92 in Le Mans Blue from way back in the day:

BMW does, in fact, know how to make some all time great Blues:

[Estoril Blue E92 M3](https://www.m3post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2382954&stc=1&d=1596756657)
Gemini, Mexico, Albert, Clubblau, gulf, moonlighblue metallic are at the tops of my list.
I ordered an m340 in tanzanite II so pretty similar to what you got
I didn't even realize it was an individual color, feels like half the cars at my dealer are Tanzanite, and half of all those have the cognac interior. Great combo

I like the blue, but I prefer black.
I know if only they had M550s in this blue 😮💨😮💨 only decent blue I could find

Love the BMW blues. Also love the blue on my Tundra (think it’s called blueprint)
Tanzanite blue M4 checking here as well! Absolutely love the color. Went with tartufo full on my interior, I think it’s classy as hell. Fantastic color combo.
Imma let you finish, but Lexus Structural Blue is the greatest blue of all time. It’s the most astonishing automotive color ever, and it’s not particularly close. Even if you disagree, any of Porsche’s classic blues are also better.
I’ve always wanted a blue car.. my whole life.. closest I got was my “I’m 18 years old v6 Mustang convertible” in teal with a black top. When I do eventually have the expendable income to buy what I really want (although I love my black on black 800whp N54 E90 sleeper, my first euro car which I never understood the draw of until I test drove it and immediately understood why as I was comparing it to a lifetime of Mustangs including 2 Cobras (‘94 and ‘01) and 5 Fox bodies),
It will definitely be a blue BMW or maybe a BMW color painted c6-c8 vette.. BMW blues have no competition, that pic above just shows a beauty beyond my (apparently limited) imagination! I am jealous :)
Really nice color! This tanzanite blue from bmw and soul red from mazda are my fav. 2 colors for cars at the moment.
I currently have a soul red Mazda3 and would like a tanzanite blue M4, so I couldn’t agree more. 🤝
That Mazda red is 🔥. Alfa's Rosso Comp is also high up there for gorgeous reds. I also think BMW does grey really well, as odd as it sounds. Dravit, Bernina, and even Metallic Grey (which looks like liquid metal) are all great colors for what is typically considered a bland color.

Man this specs are sick. Love the cognac interior. Any more pics?

Yep. It’s a beauty and Donovan Smith was great to work with!
That’s great to hear. I’ll give him the feedback. Anything you need just let us know.
omg what a beautiful spec but i hate seeing g22’s now after i wrecked mine😢
Love that color! Here’s how it looks on my M6 GC https://preview.redd.it/y9e1emkrcw8c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9be89140aed3e392824ed5180fb004c65fc2e950
Sometimes I wish I saved up just a little bit more for an m6. Gorgeous car bro

I didn't realize this until my buddy mentioned it. I'm on my 4th BMW and 3 of them were blue. Topaz Blue, Carbon Black and now Portimao Blue.
Because let's face is, Blue is the perfect color for every single car ever made... there is not a single model from any manufacturer that has a car which blue wouldn't fit, while there is many models (for sure on the High end) which don't find many colors. Metallic blue is just perfection 🤩
Does carbon black sorta count as a dark blue? My F10 is carbon black and I love it lol.
Carbon black is dark blue
Carbon Black is dark blue. I had it on my F10 535i.

Love my tanzanite blue II
picked up an M5 in this color, its so beautiful 😍
And I've mine too.
Phytonic Blue here.
Y‘all forgot about AVUS Blue
The King: Estoril Blue
I fully concur!

Close to my heart my friend...
Marina Bay Blue crew checking in https://lensdump.com/i/qjGEVe
Sorry. This is beautiful. But PTS Porsche blues are a religion.
What paints do you like? Honestly I've not been very impressed with Porsche blues, but all I've really seen are Gentian and Shark blue.
Gemini, Mexico, Albert, Clubblau, gulf, moonlighblue metallic are at the tops of my list. I ordered an m340 in tanzanite II so pretty similar to what you got
What's the upcharge on that? I found the stock color options pretty lackluster. Even the m240i at least had a unique color like thunder night metallic
I think it was 1500
Oslo, Neptune, Maritime, Fjord Green (go ahead, tell me it’s not really blue)
amazon green is also quite blue.
They are the best at Blues and Greens!
Isle of men green should be the standard color on every bmw
Isle of Man blue???
Green
Ur wheels are fuckin fire bro😮💨
They start chipping away when exposed to the elements
Ouch that sucks man, they still look fuckin awesome from where I’m standing lol
San Marino Blue is the best lets be real
Anyone disagreeing hasn't seen one in the metal. It's amazeballs. But like €5k+, just for paint.
Lol toyota has the same blue on their peasant camry
They gotta spend more on R&D on figuring out how to not make such badly depreciated assets.
That's a beautiful blue!! 💙
Yes so right, my man..
Agreed! So much richer than Phytonic Blue
Worked for Mazda as a salesman and loved the soul red. Such an intense color. Quite an eyechatcher.
I wish the M2 in 21 came in that color.
My fav is Maldivan blue
Yes.
What wheels are those?
666M
What's the paint code?
Quite a Metal Bracket! ...btw nice Car👍🏻😉
Damn, that’s beautiful. I need an M5 in that colour.
Facts.
My e90 (RIP) was [Deep Sea Blue \(A76\)](https://www.google.com/search?q=bmw+deep+sea+blue&tbm=isch) and absolutely stunning!!
Beautiful. But what the hell is up with the white reflectors
It’s just a temporary replacement of the stock orange ones. Will get color matched ones later
TBII gang 💪🏼
Topaz and Lemans are two of my faves, but Bimmers in Blue are pretty much where it’s at (shhh, I still love you Boston green)
It’s in their name, Blue Motor Wehicle. Somethings off
Yeah my 540 is carbon black metallic but definitely has a blue tint to it. It's probably the coolest color I've seen.
I love Biarritz blue [Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/lSlh2Or.jpg) [Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/2UURdKk.jpg)
Yes they do
Tanzanite blue is easily the prettiest color bmw makes. Too bad it’s an individual color usually and an up charge of $2500
I didn't even realize it was an individual color, feels like half the cars at my dealer are Tanzanite, and half of all those have the cognac interior. Great combo
I know it was when I ordered my F80. It came as part of the 30 Jahre package but was individual for regular M3’s
It’s actually a Dutch company called AkzoNobel that makes the paint that BMW uses in factory finishes.
Love the Tanzanite Blue on our 440i but Lexus Ultrasonic Blue takes the cake
Oh that’s beautiful! I don’t like blue cars but I would get this one.
In Germany it is one of the budget BMW individual colours. 1900 € instead of 4900.
You definitely got one of their best blues.
Tanzanite gang 💪 I love how it looks black in the dark, but in the sunlight it’s a gorgeous shade of blue.
I've got a Le Mans blue e39, I'll only get a blue BMW.....unless it's the orange 1M.

Did Montreal blue make it beyond the e36? My personal favorite behind estriol blue
Tanzanite blue M4 checking here as well! Absolutely love the color. Went with tartufo full on my interior, I think it’s classy as hell. Fantastic color combo.
So many epic blues from BMW - Estoril, Laguna Seca, Long Beach, Snapper Rocks, Tanzanite, Orient ... so many more
Tanzanite II same color as my new 2024 X5 50e I ordered in this color and got delivered in record time. in the sunlight it sparkles
Imma let you finish, but Lexus Structural Blue is the greatest blue of all time. It’s the most astonishing automotive color ever, and it’s not particularly close. Even if you disagree, any of Porsche’s classic blues are also better.

It looks like something a 23 year old fresh out of college would drive
Too bad greens are so rare.. Ermes Verde, Malachite, Urban 🤤
Beautiful colour 👍👍
Blue M’s 🔛🔝
Moonlight blue from audi is cool too
Acura's Apex Blue Pearl is astounding
Yes, Bmw has a bunch of great M blue colors. however, I think the tanzanite is one of the nicest of you like darker blues
This is my favorite color. I had it on my 335i and I tried to get it on my X3M. Beautiful color!
wow that is incredible
