I have, and I agree it's absolutely fantastic, in fact that's the only other current BMW color on my list of "blues I'd get if I wanted something less sporty/flashy". The thing that appeals to me about this color is that it seems simultaneously darker than DSB due to its midnight hue and brighter due to its turquoise fleck, which I think could be a really cool way of being understated while hinting that this car is something special. If I ever wanted/needed a larger car, I'd seriously consider this color on an M5.

That is such a beautiful color!
Did you have to special order the shadowline trim, or is it standard with the M Sport package? Every GC I've seen in person has the aluminum trim. Maybe it is a regional spec. difference, but I can't figure it out. Thanks! Did you go for Individual on the interior as well? I can't tell through the windows, but I can see stitching above the black panel by the steering wheel, which is Individual-only, if I remember correctly.

This could very well be the colour combination of my next 6er (probably not until the next generation in 2018 though.....)

Wow!
That interior is amazing! I can't think of anything that isn't inappropriate to describe how good that Individual looks on the GC :rofl: I can't wait until they get it cleaned up for you so we can see the whole package. Stunning combination Congrats!

That looks absolutely stunning!!
I'm sold, Tanzanite would definitely be my next blue if Le Mans was too much for me by the time I switched cars. I had my eye on Deep Sea Metallic and while I think it would look similar to this in hue, this just looks far richer and deeper -- and somehow it manages to look every bit as amazing as it did under auto show lighting in New York. What a perfect blue!
