My Tanzanite Blue F30 M Sport
Got to the dealership this morning at about 9:15 and finally took it home at about 11:45. A great deal to learn about this new toy!
First impressions are that the paint is incredible! It's a colour that looks incredible when you see it. The paint is full of flake and glistens giving off different hues of blue. My car was parked in the showroom and as I was going through all the paperwork there were plenty of admirers Inside the merino leather is beautiful. It's so soft and comfortable. The combination of new car smell and leather is worth bottling, that way I'd be able to buy all the BMWs I wanted The idrive is actually very straightforward and fairly intuitive. It will take some getting used to where all the different things are and how to work it all but that's half the fun. VSS is great, the adaptive suspension is great, the surround view cameras are a bit weird to look at first of all, the comfort access is possibly my favourite and I have even managed to successfully open the boot (trunk) on all times I've tried. HUD is superb, that is also competing for favourite toy. The HK system blew me away, the sound that was pumping out of that was so much better than I've been used to. I've got a few photos from when I got home and then a few more before I took it for a proper drive. Unfortunately the sun went in so they may not fully show the potential but there will be another day to take some more Anyway, loads of photos of the exterior and interior to enjoy

Really really really great looking! Very unique interior colors, good job! This is the first BMW Individual F30 I have seen... that leather does look incredibly soft. Always thought the Dakota leather was a bit rough but it is durable...

Ooooh man that color is so sexy. I never really saw one that close up. I think you hit a home run with that interior combo. One of the sexiest f30's yet imo.

Thanks for the pictures, this is without doubt the best color for F30/F31. I have ordered a F31 in Tanzanite blue. Can't get it fast enough

Yup - best looking example of an F30 I've seen yet
Nice to see yours turned up with the Bridgestone Potenzas, too. I hope my 19s have the same tyres

Did going "Individual" make the build take considerably longer?

The piping sets off the colour of the seats beautifully. If it had all been beige it may not have looked as good. Quote:
Definitely worth it though, everything is better than expected

Of course, what's most important is that you're happy with the purchase! |

Thanks for all the comments, it really is better than the photos can really show. Everything goes together perfectly which is a nice relief after ordering it based upon how the configurator showed it and not based on colour or fabric charts at the dealers.
I've never had a car I want to just keep going back out to look at but this one...
