looks great happy with fact that I ordered this colour
I looked up tons of photos and have a good idea what I can expect. The fact that the colour shifts according to more or less light / sun is something I definitely love about it I will most likely go for black grill and exhaust pipes to make overall look more aggressive |

I know, the pictures make it look similar. Tanzinite looks fantastic in person, Navarra is very dark

My Tanzanite is very dark, almost black, except when the sun hits the metallic flakes. I picked it up on an overcast day.

tanzanite vs carbon black???
The big question is tanzanite worth the premium over carbon black (another variation of blue/black)???

I've seen Tanzanite II in person, it's a beautiful color!

For me yes but it's subjective right so more a personal choice than anything else. Carbon black is a very nice color as well in my opinion but that 'something special' about Tanzanite Blue II is what drew me in, I've seen tons of pictures online and I love how it can shift color (bright blue - purple almost at times - dark blue) due to excessive amounts of metallic flakes when the sunlight hits it.

I saw tanzanite next to carbon black this weekend. In bright sun, the tanzanite is so much more dynamic and special looking. The metallic flake makes carbon black look dull. In dark or overcast lighting, though, I think they will look similar. Ill also say that the size of the X5 allows for more blue to come through with all the surface area. This color looks much darker on smaller sedans in my opinion. I actually think tanzanite will look really good with the Amarone/black interior, which I have yet to see in person. I’m not sure they have produced any yet.

How do people feel about Tanzanite vs Phytonic vs Carbon Black? Pondering color choice for an order.
Also - what do you feel is the best interior color to complement (thinking one of the browns - Tartufo, Coffee or Cognac) Last edited by PlsFixer; 05-06-2019 at 12:52 PM.. |

The big difference is in the shade. Pytonic will still be full blue - carbon will be all but pure black and tanzanite will still show a hint of blue hue (like the photos in the post above). |

I would go phytonic or tanzanite. Tartufo with phytonic and tartufo or amarone with tanzanite.

Amarone/black was removed from the pricing guide back in December. Maybe they will add it to the 2020s.

Found some shots of Tanzanite Blue under overcast skies. Similar to Carbon Black with less black - would like pretty schweet in M Sport.

I saw some new options in summer X5 update so I'm checking with my dealer if I can include Individual Alcantara Headliner and what the Individual Shadowline Gloss Trim with extended features actually is ... not sure about that last one, I already had selected the shadowline gloss trim "non-individual". Looking forward to the car as time passes by |
