Sounds like a personal problem

I always try and admire things from a close viewpoint anyway.

By far the best color next to Carbon Black. If the interior with Ivory White/Smoke White/Opal White with Piano Black trim, it would absolutely be the perfect color combination IMO.

No joke, BMW comes out with some of the most amazing variations of blues.

Many thanks

I assume it's Tartufo brown since that's one of the Individual interior options on the F90/G30.

Very bright lights in this video making both the exterior and interior looking lighter than it really is, still looks like tartufo to me.

And the Aragon leather has the black stripe in the middle of the seat.

I miss the days when you could order Sakhir Orange Paint with Sakhir Orange Full Leather on an M5.

all the gloss black fake buttons smudge too much itz very annoying to look at. audi is even worse with 20 pointless touch screens(which will def slow down or break). too much tech in this car for it to last long but the interior is properrrrrrr. the exterior color is crazy in the light so many flakes very nice car.

I miss the days when BMW had diverse colors available in stead of grey, black, white and blues......

However, I'm not very excited about all the new (unnecessary) technology. It's not only over the top, but it adds weight to the vehicle. I mean, check out this screen shot from the 9:20 min mark. The HVAC control panel for the rear seat passengers is just as large and complicated as the main HVAC controls. Less is more.
Well most people love tech like that and it makes the car feel premium - not sure how much this part would save in weight compared to a manual no-screen one

Redundant Popular Opinion: Pictures of Azurite Black never do it justice - had an AB e92 and it was truly the best colour of any car I have owned to date - always turned heads. On a gloomy day it's almost a matte blue/black, but with any sunlight or reflection or even street lights it's incredible. In photos it's true you have to be right up close to see the pearl flake but in person it's much more pronounced.

That's what I meant. I've seen both in person. Great colors up close. From any kind of distance? No.

I have seen both colors at the IAA in artificial light and they are more than similar, you couldn't tell them apart.

I have an F12 in carbon black which is nice, but it could be a tad more blue. I hope for the azurite M5 I have ordered.
