Great choice and agreed that it has been one the easier ones (unlike the interior!). Welcome to Team Tanzanite. Join some of us with the 20” 868s next! That Dravit Gray pic in Belgium reaffirmed the 20” choice for me.

Naw, I want to Stixk with 19’s on this one. Have 20” on my current car and i often wish I had 19”ers especially in the city driving. I personally would give up the lower profile for a less harsh ride or worry less when I go over a pothole.

That’s fair. Peace of mind is key!

The 20” do look great though,

Damn. I really need to stop looking at BMW's online. On Reddit today, there was a pic of a Tanzanite M440 with a red interior. I don't think I ever even tried this config thinking the colors wouldn't work. I had my mind set with the Canberra Beige (I'm getting sensatek). Now I'm thinking I'm going to need to talk to my salesman and change it. What do you think Team Tanzanite? Profile won't matter as much because the windows will be tinted within the first week or so.

I don't personally understand why the seat color must match with the exterior.

I choose both separately for my liking.

You will not be looking at them both together nearly as much as separately.

But of course this is very normal for a BMW forum. We usually overthink more than underthink

I really like it, @PTB! Although it’s not what I chose, I wanted it. The interior was a choice of my wife’s (Oyster), and I was good with that one as well. But, I liked the contrast between Tanzanite and Red interior. Fully support!

I did it. Changed to the red interior. I say I'm done, hopefully I'll stop changing my mind.

I went with tanzanite and cognac interior. I drove a M440i at a BMW event with that color combo, and immediately decided that's what I wanted for my next car.

Ya Tanzanite was a no brainer for me, love the dark blue. Had a Phytonic Blue X3 M40 a couple years ago and loved it but this color is even better! Different than all the other black bimmers driving around here! And really pops with the red calipers.

 

[teamzans]

Team Tanzanite is growing!

 

[Oscar100]

I’ve ordered with Portimao but I think I will change to Tanzanite Blue. Hopefully the colour change doesn’t delay things!

 

[GoSpeedRacerGo]

I also ordered Tanzanite Blue w/Cognac interior. Why not more TB's? If I had to guess, cost is part of it; extending the delivery times will be the other. In the end, it's important to get what you want.

In the end, it's important to get what you want. Demo cars arrived at norwegian dealers, unveiling in showrooms 15th of december. Tanzanite blue just off the truck, 19" M859, shadowline laser headlights, extended shadowline trim.

Ah see, you are far more technical than me by attaching the pics 👍
Definitely pleased I ordered Tanzanite!!

 

[teamzans]

Ditto, @CraigH and love those 20” wheels!

The color is fantastic, but my wife said no - it is too expensive!

It's comforting to know homes around the world work the same way... In my case my wife approved, but she could have as easily not approved.
