NEW PICS: BMW Individual Tanzanite Blue 640d GC with Full Champagne Merino leather!
Hi Guys,
This is my first real post since I picked up my 640d GC. I used to own an E92 3 series in Black Sapphire Metallic with Coral Red Leather for 5 years before I sold it last June as I ordered a Mercedes CLA 220 CDI. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to think that there was no such thing as you're either BMW or a Mercedes guy (oh how was I wrong!). Not long after the honeymoon period of owning the Merc I quickly got bored of it and felt disconnected from the road/driving and dare I say it felt like a step down from my 3 series. So last week I traded it in and picked up this Tanzanite Blue with Champagne Merino Full leather and the Auburn Sycamore wood trim 640d Gran Coupe and I am loving every minute of it! It has seriously been one hell of a step up! Question is, shall I tint the rear windows a dark smoke? I don't see the point in a light tint so for me it's either leave it as it is (to show off the beautiful interior) or tint the back windows a dark smoke as if it was a factory tint? Your thoughts would be appreciated guys, cheers! Just went out and took more pics whilst the sun was shining on my car, hopefully you can see the colour better: Last edited by ibz.s.b; 08-02-2015 at 02:45 PM.. |

Welcome back to the dark side, lol.
Such a beautiful color on a car that looks like a work of art. Enjoy lots of safe and happy miles in that thing!

Funnily enough, my sister just took delivery of a M235i and whilst we were in the showroom spec'ing up the car they had a 4 series cabriolet in Tanzanite Blue and I instantly fell in love with that colour.
About a week later I was browsing used 6 GC's and came across this one and the exact combination is what I would go for so I just had to have it! I'm glad you like the colour! Cheers dude. |

Congrats. I would change those alloys though, the 20" 373's give it completely different look as with my Tanzanite Blue with M6 exhaust mod:

Your exhaust mod looks great though and I love the diffuser, but after heavily modding my old e92 3 series the mod bug has bitten me and long gone! I can't be bothered modding anymore lol I just need something that works, especially since it's my daily driver and I'm a surveyor so I rely on my car heavily. Could you possibly send me pics of your window tint though? It looks like what you have on the back windows is probably what I may be looking to go for? Cheers |

Sure.
Although I like the 20" 373's, the track isn't wide enough and they are not concaved enough for me either. I like the 433M's off the M6 but have found out they won't fit due to the off-sets being too aggressive. Gonna go with 21" Vorsteiner's with deep concave, non RF's front 255 / 30 / 21 and rear 295 / 25 / 21 plus lowered on H and Rs. Last edited by wolverine566; 07-21-2015 at 01:31 PM..

Nah I went through that phase a few years ago when I owned a E92 3series but since then I've kinda grown out of it and just appreciate the car for what it is, rather have one with all the right options ticked than get any old one and start messing around with it.
That being said, I still love and adore the modding community and its great to see what some of you guys do with your cars, even tempting sometimes lol! |

Thanks mate. Don't want to go over-board with the modding as well, but I do intend to keep the vehicle for decades rather than years so not worried about re-sale value. I specc'd to exactly how I wanted from factory, but even BMW couldn't provide me with some extra's I needed.
The rear tints are good to go for, so I say go for it! And enjoy the new ride, that is a heck of a color! :-) |

Here you go mate. Went for the Vossen's in the end after much research. Haven't got pics yet, but here's the video:
It looks absolutely amazing! Every head on the road turns now and am getting loads of comments from passers-by. |
