That looks amazing.Too bad that isn’t a standard color right now.Maybe individual paint is coming soon for the G87.It looks way to bright to be ZB but maybe that glass is effecting the way the color looks in the pic.

I don't think it's filtered. ZB has a purple element that makes it look deeper blue on the shady side of the sun. With that glass there it's filtering UVA and UVB and actually appears that way. Look at the black wheels and red calipers for reference.

It also photographs lighter than it actually is so this is an accurate "shady" representation to me.

Yeah, there is purple in it. Jose Casas specifically called it out. I'm not trying to convince anyone man trust me. The last thing I want is more ZB on the streets.

My original build was ZB. After seeing all the different color looks in pictures and videos I got a little concerned with what I would really be receiving. That, along with the fact that rim colors that will go with ZB are limited (based on what I plan on getting) and I am really a huge fan or Chalk and Nardo, BG was an easy choice to replace with (plus it will pair with the Vossen CG205Ts in Merlot).

I'm struggling with wheel colors big time. I think the best I can do is grey 963's to match carbon elements. Bi-colors are a good look but the lightest ones are 826's which aren't that light.

Wheel struggle is real with ZB.

Left original, right reduced saturation.

Ohh man easily , the left photo definitley gives off Voodoo blue vibes.

Still sticking with ZB however. I’m curious how it would look with stealth PPF

I personally wouldn’t do it but It might look sick honestly . I’m sure some members here or someone in the wild will try it soon enough

Picture posted by BMW M is correct. No way saturation changed.

Imo Voodoo is a little darker than that, it reminds me more of Riviera Blue. I would’ve gladly taken either one lol

I know that you have seen ZB in person as I have as well. None of these photos represent what I saw with my own eyes.

I agree, they look like Santorini or voodoo blue. I think it could be a filter, saturation, or what zero mentioned about the glass box. Looks cool though, just not accurate.
