Tanzanite Blue is not a paint option for the X5 that I'm aware of. Its not in the Ordering/Pricing Guide at least. https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1512761

We have a 340 in Tanzanite Blue, love the colour. Just trying to decide if having two BMWs in the very same colour in the same garage is too much. And if I can wait until April.

Then again, this appears to be called Tanzanite Blue II. Maybe that makes it different than the Tanzanite Blue (I ?) we have on the 340?

Yea, do we know if there are any differences in TB II vs. the original?

I had a Tanzanite Blue F80 M3 and it was my favorite color EVER. It's the best.

I think I will definitely order it if I decide to order a new X5 here in a few months.

What does "SOP 4/19" mean?

Does this mean this color will be available for April builds (but ordering in late March)?

Do we have to wait until 1 April to place the order?

The cost is not insignificant, but I'll likely justify because I will lease.

I'm pretty sure you can place the order before April 1st as long as your build date is in April or later. Also, for the price, don't forget that normal metallic colors are $550, so this is really only $1400 more. And yea, with a lease, it's much easier to justify!

For interior, I'm thinking Ivory! On my F80, I had Tanzanite with Silverstone interior (a very light grey/white). It looked killer.

I couldnt justify the cost

Went with Carbon Black ... car is in "quality check"

My dealer rep said individual colors have a special paint process "on the level of a Ferrari"? ... wasnt sure if this was "sales talk" vs reality.

No, your salesman doesn’t have a clue or how a modern Ferrari is painted. You will find modern European cars are all painted the same. Quality control in the prep work makes the biggest difference.
There is some great videos on this from the TV series “How it’s made”.
Same paint, same process.

How about BMW offer more than pathetic 7 color choices for the X5?
Especially given that 4 of the 7 are black or white. So it's really more like 5 choices. Shouldn't have to pay big for some decent colors,
like how about silver or graphite? And I don't buy that the ACC is the reason, plenty of other brands offer more color options with available ACC.

The X7 also has paint restrictions for metallic colors and safety systems.

They told me they only have one individual car per week in build planning right now. No idea if that is true but i’m in for a long wait. Not that it’s a problem since my 4gc is now around 3y’s old.

I love my frozen grey color so I wanted to have something special again. Hard to go back I suppose once you are used to it.

10 months from now. I won't hold my breath. Order can't be input for production queue, so while I've got your attention, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona you seem like a great client for.
