I'm surprised they are still offering Tanzanite. It's been around for awhile now.

Have you seen Tanzanite in the sun? It is amazing.

I agree. It's actually one of my favourite colors and I'm a BMW color fanatic - see signature.

Maybe I should have said pleasantly surprised. BMW blues are some of the best in the business IMO

Terrible color pallette. Especially for this car.
All BMWs are blue, black, white, orange or some hues of brown...
Very depressed and unhappy individuals are running this company...

Speaking of which, the US configurator is live as of today.

I ordered the M850i and the planned delivery date will be Dec, 18 , so I have to decide the color. I also looked for the DRAVIT GREY in Munic and it ist impossible to define the color there because of the light. So I contacted BMW INDIVIDUAL and now I can see there a M850i there by daylight. After that I have to decide the color: Barcelona Blue or Dravit Grey...
If I can take some daylight - pictures I will post them

I called in BMW Maastricht today and the sample Dravit grey tablet seemed darker than the photographs that have been posted. Mines on order in Dravit and due 2nd week Dec, so fingers crossed. The dealer has one coming in on Sat 22 Nov for the launch, guess I'll find out if I like it then, but it's coming either way...!!!

The tablet I saw looked like the first 3 photographs - quite dark. Whereas the last one must be the light reflection, as the lower front bumper is how the sample tablet was?
