Does any think if it was metallic, it would alleviate some of that washed out look in the daylight ?

Maybe I'm just rationalizing since I really want to love ZB, but I think that in the bright sun the color will look different to the naked eye than how it's captured by a camera.

I've been Team ZB since the start, and while I plan to see one in person before finalizing my spec, I'm still feeling good about the choice.

I agree. Two things came on my HEA vehicle I didn't want but already planned to swap, the black wheels being one.

Red with bicolor is a great combo. On all colors but TR, although I'd still go with it on TR bc I'd change the wheels to bronze/gold.

I mean it does not get any more real than these photos that were taken in the sun. While I did not take the photos, it is exactly what I witnessed at the same location, date and time.

These photos are excellent - thank you. I'm loving the G87 design, perfect size and footprint. Wide and short and chunky. ZB looks fabulous in that lighting.

It is going to look so hot in AW. Just wait until the pictures start rolling in.
I’ve got white with black wheels coming.

Is it just me or does that radiator look overly exposed? #disaster?

[FinalV8]

Oh yes it will, my now gold Eidweiss 20” around are awaiting the G87

I think the red with red looks fine

Probably looks better if it was black or charcoal or something like that but I think it looks perfectly fine

I actually think the red callipers look ok with tr, it helps tr look more orange in contrast (I'd rather have an orange vs red car any day)

Just give the car two serious track days, and I bet the calipers will then match the exterior paint perfectly

Yes it would help. However, the color looks great as is - highly recommend finding a way to see it first IRL.

Like the g80 this has grown on me a lot I won’t trade my f87 in for one, but I’m going to save and get one at 3 years old. Make my og a proper track car g87 as daily.

The m performance parts still look utterly shite they will never grow on me

eek that red is super weird. not vivid at all—-like a blood stain on a shirt-red.

they really botched the colours on the new M2. Black is so far easily the best one…which is quite sad since black cars are so boring.

No one's pointed that out or talked about it yet. Nice catch.

In person it is pretty darn good. Find a dealer who has an X5 or M4 in TR. I've never had a red car and was on the fence until last week when I saw one live. A lot of pictures don't really capture it well. This one was taken inside, but with a lot of natural light coming through the wall of windows 5 feet away.

One of those cars that prob looks better in person.

TR also looks pretty good in person, it’s a dynamic color oscillating between red & orange depending on light. It looked great in person when I saw it on a g80.

[Rat_House]

Looks like AW with blue calipers is the path imo. The front license plate situation is tough, I guess Ill just take the fines.

Hmm… It has been discussed, just not in this thread.

Total sarcasm.

The forum is helping keep me distracted from my lame case of COVID.
