The Best combination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may adjust mine to TR from BG.
BI-Colors looking good in that video

If love the center lock wheel design not necessarily the center lock part.

100% doing bi-color...all black is terrible.

FYI, they are in Phoenix. I left there this past Wednesday PM. I had to get back to our store.

Do you know where? I’m currently here for Spring Training. Would love to check them out.

Noticed that as well. One TR has M highlight seats. Loving every part of this post.

Agreed. It looks really good here. In person I wasn't a fan of BG on an M4 as it looks really dull IRL. Not sure what I missed because these photos look fantastic.

Maybe you just couldn't get past the beaver toothed front end on the M4?

Nope doesn't bother me one bit. The crappy side profile does though.

The lighting and shadows work really well here to highlight the rear haunches and side skirts.

I'd really like to see one of these in person but overall I do feel they'll have good road presence. Just wished they offered more colors. I feel like BMW owes us a nice deep blue but I've been let down with both generations of M2.

Never paid attention to the side prodile. On the this gen, I like the M3 better than the M4.

Toronto Red looks great, but when I saw the Zandvoort what went through my mind was "it's a BOY!!!" like a baby gender reveal.

I miss the color of my 2017 M2 - Long Beach Blue. A pleasing color!

LOL! Very funny. That ZB color is lacking something..........in a large way

VT Skier · 03-11-2023, 06:57 AM

The bicolor wheels look way bigger than the black ones, but maybe that's just me. Some optical illusion.

I think I may stick with black wheels and ZB.

It's not just you. It's the design choice of only painting one half of the spoke. The thin machined spoke design creates a lot of air. This is actually the reason I chose 827's for my OEM+ build.

BG is my car! Nice shot.

Exhaust sound doesn't seem half bad. My last three M3/4 coupes I've had to replace the axle-back because they were too quiet. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the exaggerated overrun cracks, pops and burbles many cars have now, though.

Thank you, that must be it. I was looking at the 827s as well, but I might go with the 763s. Hopefully people will post photos well before my car comes up in the allocation lottery.

Which will be much later this year, if I'm lucky. Or earlier if the financial markets start freaking people out.
