New shot of G87 M2 gives better idea of the Zandvoort color

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Side peek from Australian pre-release set up pulled from FB post (sorry if duplicate)...wow the blue is more powderpuff/periwinkle than I thought.

Yeah. Can't do that color for sure

Rocker panel is crazy aggressive

Gdiddy23 · 10-05-2022, 12:04 PM

Looks like a worse version of YMB. Think the darker colors will compliment this car more IMO

Project_F87 · 10-05-2022, 12:06 PM

Looks a LOT better here, but still a no go for me personally.

Bumpinjeep · 10-05-2022, 12:14 PM

Man, I really want to like this car, but from pictures, it just doesn't do it for me. I'm hoping with the full reveal or when I see the car in person, that's going to change.

In before this makes front page, and all the lame dad jokes start streaming in.

WedgeSalad · 10-05-2022, 12:20 PM

Looks very close to a Gulf Blue, I hope someone does orange brakes on one in the future

It's a shame there's only going to be one dark color at launch.

M Fifty · 10-05-2022, 01:28 PM

"Eggshell Blue" maybe?

Can't wait to hear Americans pronounce "Zandvoort".

You mean M colors? Probably great.

Definitely due to crazy front and back .bumber

Looks like they adjusted the color, dramatically increased the saturation levels. The Hyundai blue is more striking.

I believe it will look better in any of the other colors.

Wish they were going to offer a dark blue option!

Caerus · 10-05-2022, 04:22 PM

Sadly that picture shows how I will be giving up Portimao Blue of my M240ix which I love that color to Zandvoort Blue of the M2. Not excited about it, but hopefully it all comes together when I see the whole car. Other wise, Alpine White; since no black, gray or red for me.
