Tanzanite M4

ckortane · 11-09-2014, 04:29 PM

Here are some more pics of my TB M4 after getting clear bra installed and adding IND grills/gills/painted reflectors - not a photographer by any means but wanted to get some shots before the sun went down.

Looking forward to revving past 5500 - break in service scheduled for 9am tomorrow morning!

*sorry for some of the water spray and dirty interior - wanted to ensure I got some pics before the sun set as I know a few of you guys have been asking for MORE pics. Will finish with interior detailing and final touch ups after break in service.

So happy with my color and option choices - especially since I never saw Tanzanite Blue in real life - only in pictures

Love it, I drive Jerez Black and love it, so I would probably lean towards getting this color. Definitely a little more blue here, but I like it!

Love the color!!

Just a question... does your car ride rough? I ask because it looks as high as mine did with the shipping blocks in. The wheel gap looks bigger than mine especially in the rear... if it rides OK, maybe it just needs to settle but if you find it rough, I bet they didn't remove the shipping blocks.

I wouldn't say it rides rough but my neighbor thought the wheel gap was high too. Guess I'll find out during break in service tomorrow - would be pretty upset if my dealer didn't remove the shipping blocks during car prep!

Here is my gap for comparison... it could just be the camera angle if the car rides OK...

In any event, the color is amazing

Wow definitely looks like they didn't remove the blocks based on your pics. I've been driving 1000miles like this? Is that bad for the car? Going to call dealership in the morning

It won't hurt anything... other than your kidneys

It's worth having them check out.

I think with a set of gun metal brushed finish wheels, this color would be even more amazing then it already is. The more and more I see this color the more and more I like it.

Looks awesome!!!

Upon closer review - seems like the wheel gap/ride height in my M4 is similar to pictures in other posts - but will find out tomorrow during break-in service

Blindside_137 · 11-09-2014, 06:38 PM

That is gorgeous. I wouldn't be able to pick this or azurite.

Lynchmob6 · 11-09-2014, 07:35 PM

Very nice!

Where are you doing your service tomorrow? I just broke 1000 myself and need to schedule?
