I don't know, I think YMB looks pretty iffy in some lighting conditions. This is more honest about what it is, it looks like a straight Gulf blue, maybe a bit more vibrant.

Alpine White

Zandvoort Blue

That's it.

All crap.
Based on the leaked photos

All the light colors will highlight the "missing front teeth" and the rear diffuser designs

Black...nice for an hour but dusty after that.

Red... the only color that might look decent with the black & red

Any word on wheel choices & colors??

I hear Sanford...

Dutch pronunciation:

The "a" of "Zandvoort" is pronounced like the "a" in "park", "bark", "Bart" or "fart".

The "oo" in "Zandvoort" is pronounced like the "o" in "vortex", "abort", "sport" or "more" (actually, pronounce "vortex" without "ex", or "Vord" instead of "Ford", and you're rather close).

Pronunciation in the US risks to be "Sand Ford" or "Sand Fart"...

Damn. That's like … the ugliest blue I've ever seen.

That color is so bad that it looks better in B&W.

Yeah what is the deal with the BMW ///M Division always giving us wheels that are a PITA to clean and get dirty in like 5 seconds after washing them? Sheesh.

At lease Porsche has better pads in that regard

Because that's most of the problem

I won't argue that, but the brake dust piles up quickly.

Jesus Christ! I keep checking Bimmerpost every day hoping there will perhaps be a new picture post that will make me like the new M2… and every day is a big disappointment…. This colour just sucks any aggressive look right out of any car…. And I believe it's also helping make the car look even "boxier" than it might be which doesn't help at all… c'mon BMW release the damn pictures already cuz we're all getting tired!
