First Pics of my Tanzanite Blue M4

Unfortunately for me I was unable to collect my Tanzanite Blue M4 due to me working out of the UK until December so the Missus was given the task to collect it, install the child seat and pick the kids up from school today!

Please excuse the poor quality (I didn't take the pics!!). The car will be getting detailed on Thursday and am hoping to get some better pics taken following it. Anyway, here are a few pics she took of the car....

I've yet to see Tanzanite Blue look 'right' in pics!

It was raining today so wasn't really a good day for pics but hopefully, on Friday, the weather will be better for some new pics.

Let's just say that I'm a little concerned she won't be wanting me to rush home...

Seriously though, she absolutely loves it. She was a little worried at getting out of our driveway and onto the main road due to the size of the car but is very happy with the surround camera view as it makes it easy. She also loves the HUD system and the illuminated M logo on the seats!

Nice! That definitely makes it much easier to maneuver I'm sure.

Enjoy!

$1450 is gonna stop you from ordering a color you really want on a $75, $80k car?

Looks a lot like midnight blue but I'm sure that's only from these pictures. Good looking car I bet you can't wait to get home to the newest member of your family

Thanks guys.

It's just the pics that make it look like midnight blue. I've asked my Missus to see if she can get a friend of hers to do a 'professional' shoot asap so hopefully will be able to capture the colour better.

My original choice was Mineral Grey until I saw the Tanzanite Blue Pistonheads M4 at Goodwood. When the Missus picked up the car, the dealer told her that they had to move the car right next to the entrance of the dealership and put my details in the windscreen due to the amount of attention it got!

Apparently there were a couple of guys looking into it when the Missus turned up so she told them "leave it alone, it's mine!"

There was also a Mineral Grey M4 there and her words to me were "you've definitely chosen the right colour".

Change your order... standard metallic color is $550 i believe. These standard individuals are $1950. so, $1400 over standard cost.
