I get why some people don’t like ZB, but I really don’t get the appeal of primer gray. It is so boring it makes black and white cars look exciting. To each it’s own I guess.

I’m really trying to warm up to this design. Countless pics and many videos, keeping an open mind and all. But Jesus Christ in a dump truck, this is one ugly vehicle. Maybe it’s the lighting?

Is it just me or the hood and the rest of the body work don’t flow? Like the hood and bumper come from two different car?

I find BG to look better on the G87 than on the G80/82.

I wouldn’t want to poo poo anyone’s color choice, but there is a G80 and 3 X3s in BG in just my development alone. It’s a nice color but has become overplayed.

When my old car was hit and needed the entire hood replaced, it wasn't done properly, leaving an ugly gap between the hood and the bumper. That's the first thing I see when I look at this car. Especially noticeable in the second picture, the inconsistency in that hood line is nuts. I've noticed this in other photos and colors too.

I think this is one of those cars I have to see in person to like it. The rear to me looks good but the front I am still getting used to. I like the previous Gen model better but with time I know I’ll like the newer one. I’m working towards a G80 M3 but I still love lookin at the M lineup.

I cant remember the last time I left my house without seeing BG. Literally cannot get away from it. There are 2 in my neighborhood alone, worse yet, in my garage, they are mine. Sorry, couldnt resist, I will see myself out now.

White is always and forever I guess. But as far as greys go, I see a ton.

My G80 is PB, so I can’t say much about my color either since a 330 down the street is the same shade anyway.

How come we haven’t seen it in Black Sapphire Metallic? I think that’s the only color this car will look good in or Frozen Black. Light colors don’t work on this blocky shape. Black would look mean .

Man I dunno about this thing. It feels like they deliberately messed areas up to fix them in an LCI. The side profile is very bland. It needs a fender accent.

I think I gotta go BSM on this car. But I have a feeling the LCI will be spicy.

I would say that the F87, on the other hand, seems considerably lowered.

Lego, haven’t heard that one before…. And the G80/82 don’t have trim surrounding their kidney grills either

Amazing how the vast majority of people shitting on the looks of the G87 all seem to have something very obviously in common…

I feel like it may be very regional. Of my stores last maybe 20 G8X orders, zero have been BG. Probably only 2 total orders. X3/X4 are somewhat common although MSport on those isn’t.
