Just Picked Her Up...

2020 840xi GC.

I know it's the baby of the 8 family- but I'm in love. The Tanzanite Blue II is stunning.

Not new to forum(but new handle) and certainly not new to BMW- I think this makes number 15...! (I'm 34 btw...!). We just picked up a 2020 Z4 3 weeks ago. Just dumped a full size Range Rover after 4.5 months- absolute service nightmare.

Welcome to the 8-series and more so the Tanzanite Blue club! Enjoy the drive as well as the rarity on the road as everyone will be looking especially in the absolute stunning shimmering of Tanzanite Blue.

Side note is back in 2017 when it was time to get my wife a new SUV she brought up Range Rover. I killed that thought immediately as many friends have had the same experience as yours. Hence, she's in a X5 which started the BMW population in our household.

Congrats. I had the Tanza on my previous F06 model. That is an amazing color and it's no surprise BMW decided to continue offering it (Tanza Blue II). Over here I have actually often seen it even on some more "common" F.XX models (especially F33 and F36 ones).

Jon, I also have the Tanzanite Blue (ivory interior). It indeed looks stunning, especially in sunlight. Congratulations on your new ride!

Congrats! Enjoy the ride. BTW I had a good laugh about your 4.5 months of fun with the Range Rover. Thanks for that!
