The reality is all five exterior colors are less than ideal for the G87.
It's all good. I honestly think this is one of those choices where you either like it or don't and you know right away.

Screenshot. Originally taken by an individual that I follow on Instagram. Diehard BMW owner/enthusiast, clearly not a fan as he placed the clown emoji, not I.

Maybe he likes clowns? I didn't even consider how it might look at night, and now that you guys have brought it up I'm stoked, that looks pretty dang good.

Probably taken with a Samsung smartphone. Those phones are notorious and oversaturating colors in their photos. Because when you look at the color from that video they look like two different colors. He zonked the blue.

BMW M photo provided via their Instagram account.

FYI, That is exactly what ZB looks like if you were standing right in front of it.

Yeah I know it's not metallic but didn't expect that. Grrr. I have to change my mind now hahaha. I'm thinking black and go Vader or white and go storm trooper. 🤷🏾

FYI, pay close attention to what he says at 6:33 to 6:53.

Edit, he gave it a horsepower bump too. “467 horsepower” His 0-60 times are way off as well.

“I think they should’ve chosen a different color does showcase this in.” Ha! You think?
It would probably be only 8lbs if you could get a roof without sunroof??

Doubtful and not even up for debate given that the U.S. market cannot acquire a G87 with a steel roof.

Lol .... I actually think he made some good points! Good up close camera angles. Great idea on the color. Laguna Seca Blue!!!!!

Hope he's right on the 0-60 times. Lol again.

As were his top speed figures too. Missed the mark entirely with this one.

My thoughts exactly , night shot looks amazing . Gives off that shiny/mettalic look even tho it’s not.

It’s the daytime photos that I’m really struggling with. No question looks a bit washed out but I have yet to see it in person.

Joe is embarrassingly bad, yet he has 938k subscribers, enough for him to make a nice living off his channel. 3.3 0-60 time? I don't know where he comes up with this stuff. He throws random wacky numbers and other misinformation into just about every one of his reviews. For a good laugh, check out one of his "normal" reviews where he actually drives the car - he always goes "on throttle!" and drives like a complete maniac on public roads. It's a minor miracle that he hasn't wrapped something around a pole yet.
