I'm genuinely surprised so many people find the f87 good looking.
Sure they seem like fun little munchkin of a car but good looking???
I always considered it second ugliest M car after the Bangle M6.

I did but the fact that it's on so common now just makes it any other color. If I'm getting a boring color I'll get red.

All the colors, to a degree and variation, are everywhere. It is what it is.

I also saw the BSM in person. A definite pass for me.

I like the "flat gray" look (I would go with Chalk or Nardo in a heartbeat) so I changed to BG. I couldn't take the chance the ZB is a waahout pastel mess.

Not only that, BG is a more complex "flat gray" as it is metallic.

It's Nardo under certain lighting, Kemora (Audi) under another, and even gives off familial traits of Hockenheim Silver!

With the bi-color wheels.... *chef's kiss*

Nardo grey on black wheels is the way to go for M cars in all trims

Not a fan of BG in most situations, but hand it to BMW on this: TR and ZB as never being 100% great or awful. They truly look decent most of the time and actually impress people sometimes.

We have seen it previously, but I seem to recall it had been rained on? The photo was posted on Instagram today by BMW UK HQ employee Tim King.

Certainly that car is a very early pre-prod one, first registered in the UK in Sept last year.

Just looking at the new x6m design, it just looks so well integrated. The m2 huge boxes on the corners seem like they are missing some type of blending. They just pop so much and so empty looking.

Especially after saying the new X6M Predator Edition front bumper looks better than the new M2.
