Question about Tanzanite Blue

Is the word Tanzanite the German for 'seagull target practice' by any chance?

Previous Beemer was space grey, and hardly ever got a splatter, but the new G21 is regularly bombed! I wish someone had warned me.

It's shiny.
The birds bloody love a clean shiny car.
I used to suffer this same issue with my last EBII blue car. The second i finished cleaning it, one of the rats with wings would drop it's load...
Current mineral grey one, not so much...

Try living in a house that once had a pigeon loft. 30 years later and the cnuts still congregate there.

I can't say I've noticed the difference between the TB and my previous Daytona Grey Audi

Annoying though!

Mine is Portimao Blue - suffering exactly the same. It's literally like target practice for the little buggers!

Oh I have a garage. It's even big enough to get the car in, unlike many garages these days.

But all that space just gives me more room to hoard junk that I'll probably never use!
