Granted, it's going to look a lot better in marketing shots and in person compared to what we've seen so far.

I'm really not a fan of the gloss black sideskirts that we see on some models, but I actually think it would work better on this particular paint. Our Veloster is HPB and looking at it now I don't think it looks near as good if it was just an endless sea of blue without the black accents.

Yep, said the same thing in another thread. It would break up the monotonous design and give it some pop.

Also, what is up with the tacked on parking sensors? Did they just cheapen out by not integrating into the bumper? I kinda hope I can opt out of front sensors but not sure if that's even possible on these new models

Definitely will be standard. I think it's part of the DTM look they're going for.

Who are all the people voting for ZB?? What do you see that I don't?

To me it's one of the most dull colors I've ever seen on a car I think. It's like a blue version of this satire commercial from Subaru:

I'm praying to gawd they offer colors such as Mineral White, Portimao Blue, Dravit and Tanzanite. There's absolutely zero reason for BMW not to since these colors are offered on the 3 series which are also built at SLP

BUT WHY?!?

Going to have to go with Black, Red, or Alpine White... reluctantly.

I can't believe they're releasing another M2 without a good mid/dark grey option. Even a basic silver option would be nice. Hockenheim Silver was by no means basic, but it was nice to look at—and almost 100% unique/exclusive to the M2C aside from a couple of motorcycles and maybe one M5C.

I see Brooklyn Grey on every 2er, 4er, X3, X4, etc. in my neighbourhood. It's not unique at all. People clearly like the colour. I don't.

Then Zandvoort is nice, but it reminds me of the Hyundai N line.

StickyPickle · 10-06-2022, 08:55 AM

I seriously seriously hate that I can't even get this in mineral white. I'm not feeling ZB, don't like red cars and I'm currently driving a G42 M240 in black so not getting another black car. That leaves alpine white and Brooklyn Grey

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

LivingInSalt · 10-06-2022, 08:59 AM

I'm not really a red car guy at all either but I do think the M240i does look pretty damned good in Melbourne Red. I might be tempted to do that if I had to choose one of these 5

ronin13013 · 10-06-2022, 08:59 AM

same situation. Coming from a black e92 m3 So its alpine or brooklyn.

I'm in the same boat. ZB looked good until pictures actually came out. One of my more recent cars was Nardo Gray, so Brooklyn Gray isn't very exciting to me. I generally don't like white or black cars so that only leaves red. I guess I could do Brooklyn Gray but it feels really really overplayed across all automakers.

Same here.

First M240 I saw was in MR and thought it looked amazing on the car. Really don't see too many Toronto Red cars though so it's tough to get a good feel for it. Forum pics are all over the place as far as shade.

That's a pretty nice shade of red.

2manybimmers · 10-06-2022, 05:32 PM

I just hope theres a badass green like IOMG. That paired with full merino bucket seats sounds killer.

Here's three examples Toronto Red why it's good to watch a few vids to see the color or ideally find any car at a close-ish dealer to see in person. Lighting plays a huge role. I'm not sure if ZB can be saved but possibly. Toronto Red gets my vote for now though! People say there's a bit of orange to it which makes it more interesting than Malborne Red.

Yeah that picture seems a bit saturated. I know it has a bit of orange too it. Gotta see it in person and really give it a good look!
