Right! How about them throwing in some variation,maybe an AW or TR here or there instead of trying to shove ZB down our throats.

The more I see the same color combo the more it turns me off. It is not making me like it anymore.

I forgot what thread it was, but I posted a video a few weeks back where they had a BG and TR M2 alongside an M4 and M5. Was hoping we'd see more of those cars and some pics but never saw anything else pop up.

Edit: Found the video.

Note: The guy that made this video hates the cars style and is vocal about it, then again this is the same person who thinks his Porsche 924 looks great which IMO is one of the ugliest Porsche's ever.

Or maybe just one picture of a ZB without the carbon roof. Too much of the same. Never a BSM or AW.

most pictures make TR look like Imola Red. very odd since they are supposedly quite different.

This baby blue is just atrocious ... just LOL at picking this as the launch color instead of a more palatable blue color from the nearly endless blue shades BMW already offers. The instagram bros will all order it though, so ZB should become v. popular in short order.

looking forward to getting this car!

Cognac washes out in direct sunlight as well. It displays a hint of orange. I prefer Tartufo over it.

TR is a metallic paint whereas Imola is a UNI, non-metallic.

I've owned a couple of Imola cars so i am familiar with it. I'm just pointing out that so many of these TR pics make it look similar to Imola, when it doesn't appear to be so in real life.

Likewise. Imola is an outstanding color.

Isn't light blue totally normal to showcase a baby boy? And isn't the M2 the baby brother?

Lol I was thinking the same about the first part. Like blue is for boys until you're grown then it's for women? Or maybe still just baby boys and needs a deeper blue for big boys or men

You know who doesn't care if a color is "for" men or women? A confident man (or woman).

True. I prefer a deeper blue but I am most likely getting this because you see this color the least often at least in my area.

It’s great how there are so many different takes on this car.
I love this junction, to me it highlights just how wide and severe the front guards are. It’s almost a 90 degree angle!

Right now I am deciding between BSM, BG or TR. My order with my local dealership is a currently a BSM with Carbon and Shadowline Packages. I think BSM will look great with a set of gold 763M wheels.
I agree. Please post photos when you get those on.

Zandvoort Blue is the first color I can say I'm enamored with at the night, but has me totally perplexed in daylight.

Need to see this puppy in person
