Tanzanite Blue/Capri blue - WHAT AN AMAZING COLOUR!!

Hi Guys,

Buying a C63 was the easiest decision I ever made...

However, choosing the colour wasn't!!

As you can see by the attached photos I eventually chose Tanzanite Blue, which looks different depending on the lighting/time of day...

Enjoy.

OMG!
Looks awesome!! I was thinking going Steel Grey but your car just looks so big and wide (i think the color really helps...) for me the colour is perfect! I might choose the same one with the 19''...

Once again, excellent!

Beautiful. This color was my second choice and reminded me a bit of the paint on my E92 but I eventually went with Steel Grey.

Thanks Guys,

I thought that it would be a great idea to show this colour as it was difficult for me to find pics of it when I was buying based on the fact that there aren't that many in this colour.
