No, it can be ordered with either. Perhaps you accidentally hit the MSport design.

Nice! Thats what we need. More Tanzanite blue! I am excited about mine and plan to matt PFF. Should look sweet. Good luck on your build.

Having had a TBlue M60i for a couple of months now, I’d say this color is best left in its „glossy” state. Putting matte PPF on top can reduce the sparkle (I fear) and make it look like a very dark and bland matte blue. Not everyone’s cup of tea. For me personally? A pass
If you want to wrap the car, I’d suggest going with normal film instead of matte

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I want it to look unique and I saw an M3 with matt tanzanite and really liked it. I can post some pictures after but I know its all based on taste.

If you saw it and liked it ENOUGH to pay for the wrap, it’s not my mission to stop you

My intent was merely to point out this is a very dark blue and based on some pictures, also on this forum, I wasn’t convinced matte wrap does it any favors. Yet, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (and wallet-holder in this case )

Wallet-holder is right , it is not cheap.

But it makes it easier to carry a lighter wallet after paying for it.
