But when you create a vehicle that's obviously meant for a late 20s or early 30s (fe)male, most of those would expect those silly burbles.

For anyone else, they are just downright embarrassing.

This new BMW styling direction is just absurd enough to be shocking and nothing else, IMO.

Yeah kinda, but it makes more sense when you see it here.

You can land an airplane on those side skirts. lol

That odd transition makes sense when you look at it from this angle. Why it's important to see this thing in the flesh before a final judgment.

They're available, my dealer had a "carbon pack" option I chose that included the seats

How much is the carbon package?

Clearly you know nothing about racing heritage ranging back to the 60's, where the pale blue's dominated and were always associated with full fledged race cars. Even current F1 cars (Gulf McLaren livery in Monaco).

See this thread: https://g42.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1957320
("How close is BMW M "Zandvoort Blue" (C6E) to Porsche "Gulf Blue" (328) ?")

Also worth noting Gulf owns the blue, so it's not a Porsche owned color. Also they have evolved their blues over the years so there are dozens of versions of "Gulf Blue"

BMW name their color palettes from random regions throughout the world, so I'm guessing "Zandvoort" here is derived from the municipality in the Netherlands?

More often than not M colors are named after race tracks and that is the case with Zandvoort Blue.

Perhaps if I see in real life, it will be different

This car definitely looks better in darker colors….not feeling this Smurf Baby Blue.

Doesn’t sound bad at all to be fair.

Sounds a lot better than my 2020 M4 with OPF filters anyways

I was shocked when I saw this during the weekend. I never saw it in person before.

T_U_D · 11-02-2022, 04:05 PM

I felt this needed to be bumped as it was on page 3, especially given that many post pertaining to ZB are becoming like a broken record.

Caerus · 11-03-2022, 11:26 AM

Thanks for the bump. Yes it is getting old listening to the jealous, deranged cynics ad nauseam.

Let’s bring this back to the top.
