My M2 was always going to be AW, I didn't have to look at the other colours. With black wheels and carbon roof, it is perfect. The most classic M colour in my opinion. Just think how good the 1M looked in its day, in white.

Brooklyn Grey & Toronto Red seem the most aggressive
My choice is still ZB. Which I consider a softer color Purchase a CF lip, spoiler, mirror caps. And it'll add just the right amount of meanness

Saw all three in person. I'd rank them BG, ZB, TR. This surprised me because I liked TR the most in pictures. If I was to order, I would go ZB because it looked like a special color, haven't seen anything like it on a car before.

Wondered how long it would take one of our own to post these pictures...at least we got that out of the way.
This is a nice joke but seeing the two side by side it's actually completely different. And yes, there was an N car at Daytona. Close but no cigar ![]() |

And for old muscle car enthusiasts, in the lat 60s Chevy had Carolina Blue as an option on Camaros and Chevelles.

Therevare a lot of "close" and some very close (Porsche and Lambo colors come to mind). The EXACT color BMW is using may be its own but there are numerous cars on the road with that similar looking color that ZB will not stand out as "different" than any other manufacturer's color. |

Out of the 3 you asked, I would 100% go with BG. It looks like a dynamic color, similar to HS on the F87. ZB looks too soft for me and I feel like that color isn't special enough, you can find similar shades on everything from Hyundais to Toyotas. TR looks like it could be interesting I suppose.
I honestly think I need to see the car in the flesh to make a better judgement. Some colors that look flat in pictures look completely different under natural light where you can see the depth of the lines on the car to really get the big picture. TL-DR - Grey

Tag Heads-up, the first four photos have previously been posted and several months ago. BMW of Manhattan originally posted the photos via their Instagram. The last photo was taken by another forum member at the Performance Center last October and posted in a thread he started here.

I don’t understand the constant bashing of ZB , just to make one feel better about their choice in color.

It goes both ways, some make constant posts about how great it is or how they saw it and its better than what people are making it out to be. Its easy to make jabs at those posts. Bottom line...there are 5 colors, none great, but if you are buying the car you have to pick one of them. There is no right or wrong, its a personal preference and all that matters is people are happy with their choice. Now who really thinks that faded baby blue looks good?
