435i GC

Moisted · 11-14-2014, 07:07 PM

I signed an order for 435i GC loaded with pretty much everything, in Tanzanite Blue. Dealer just called and said I have to wait until April for delivery if I want that color. Otherwise the same car can be had by 2nd week of Jan in Carbon Black.

What should I do.. I really want a shade of blue. Carbon Black only looks blue in sunshine. On the other hand, it's a loooong wait until April.

help...

Go Carbon Black

Estoril Blue

Tanzanite blue feels like an old person's car.

That is why you should go Carbon Black.

Why not black leather? Carbon black with black leather is badass. Oyster is a nice contrast, but just that.

Wait for TB. Color isn't the kind of thing you want to regret or compromise on. Plus, rare.

I went for Tanzanite - pick it up on Friday but managed a quick look at the dealer last week. Looks bloody marvellous! My iPhone pics don't do it justice.

I'm a Carbon Black fan. My X5M was Carbon Black, and if it was available on my GT I would have gotten it again without a second thought.

In some lights, the blue really pops. In others its black.
