Slightly off-topic but how do you feel about the ZB after seeing it in person?

It is not for me. Caerus has some very accurate photos of the color and in direct sunlight .

This car looks so different (and better) with a carbon roof.

Here are a few more pictures that may help in the discussion. In the close up in the second picture, I just noticed a reflection of a super nice guy taking a picture and it's not me.

Am I crazy or does your bottom picture, a non-shadowline headlight, take elements from both of the shadowline and non-shadowline headlights provided in these brochure pictures someone posted elsewhere on the forum? What am I missing here? Either I am blind or that bottom element looks almost indistinguishable from either headlight and only the top element is what gives it away.

I am 100% confident that is what it has . FYI, The window trim is black on all of them with or without the shadowline package. The Shadowline package only changes the headlight interior trim and exhaust finishers.

Just a little FYI, all Shadowline headlights are adaptive only, their is no base option once you select this trim.. At least this is the case with the G42, so I assume it the same with the G87.

The two pictures I posted are the same car with shawdowline lights with lighting package. The top is with the DRLs lit and bottom not. That is the only difference. It is the same car as posted pictures by TUD at the BMW Performance Center reveal.

As Poochie mentioned, shawdowline can only be had when you spec the lighting package per the recent pricing guide posted in the "sticky" thread.

Found these on IG... Looks good!

TyeM · 10-27-2022, 10:57 AM

Good find! Loving how this paint reacts to light and highlights the bodywork

Sporck · 10-29-2022, 06:15 AM

Maybe THE best colour at the moment…

SW19 · 10-29-2022, 03:09 PM

Wow!This pic really shows the extreme fender flares.Looks incredible.

SCCThree · 10-29-2022, 06:11 PM

I am not super thrilled with the color choices but for me BG is the best option. I was thinking about doing a matte Xpel Stealth wrap on it just to give it a slightly different look. Bad idea or no?

ronin13013 · 10-29-2022, 06:14 PM

Ceramic coating and leave it alone!!

Can't. Too much crap on the roads in Dallas. I don't want road rash on my new 2.

Would love to see this in higher resolution. Looks like it does need lowered. Front wheel gap is too much :-/

Albator_IIII · 10-30-2022, 12:41 PM

BG is growing on me. I am just concerned it might look a bit boring and too understated (please no hate from BG lovers out there). I am leaning going louder in color.

Agreed. Another reason why this car desperately needs individual paint options. Seems like TR is the only loud color I am willing to go with. No disrespect to ZB but that's just the boat I am in right now.

You're not kidding but spacers and a little drop and this thing is going to look so mean

There's a BG M240 with the xpel stealth floating around their section. Looks great.

Looks great.This car also looks like it has the optional tinted rear windows that are available in Europe.I wish we were able to get that option on BMW’s in the US and Canada.
