BIMMERTODAY: BMW M2 G87: Zandvoort Blue, Toronto Red or Brooklyn Grey?

JustinHEMI · 03-11-2023, 11:48 AM

The more I see photos of ZB in the wild, the more at peace I am with what happened. I am getting very excited for this car.

T_U_D · 03-11-2023, 11:53 AM

BG looks great in the photos with the bi-color wheels, but I know what it really looks like in person.

Plus I have never been a huge fan of BG. Most of you know how I feel about ZB given that I saw it in person last October, no need to repeat my feelings for it. I am still team TR with bi-color wheels FTW!

Edit, I am a bit surprised that no one has mentioned the Shadowline headlights versus Non-Shadowline headlights.

I like them all to be honest, but happy with my decision (BG).

Thanks for pointing this out.I definitely prefer the ZB G87 with the shadowline headlights.Makes for a more aggressive looking front design IMO.Does the non shadowline headlight have the gold trim like the M240i?It doesn’t look like it in the pic.

The answer you are seeking is below.

Edit, BMW is going to narrower headlights with their LCIs, example the G01 , G05, and the G07. In my opinion the Non-Shadowline headlights help to achieve that.

StickyPickle · 03-11-2023, 01:09 PM

Out of these, BG no doubt

diavliyo · 03-11-2023, 01:13 PM

BG siempre...

(K) · 03-11-2023, 01:15 PM

Grey or red, in that order, but only because you'd HAVE to choose.

CodeSlinger · 03-11-2023, 01:18 PM

Loving the look of TR here, that's pretty much my spec to a T (TR, Bi-color wheels, non-shadowline). Great to see more pics of it in the flesh.

BG and ZB don't look too bad either.

After reading your comment I am reminded you are absolutely right. In pics BG always looks great to me... light metallic gray and in these pics the metallic just shows the lines and the flares nicely and initially I ordered my M240i in BG color unseen. But it's been more common and decided I didn't like it.

But in person BG ALWAYS looks darker and flatter. Even in the S FL sun. My within half mile from my house I have neighbors with an I4 and two X6's in BG and they look dark and flat compared to pics.

Of the M2 choices available... TR seems like the only color.

Speaking of neighbors, I am waiting on a PB M240i order and just last night after evening run what do I see a couple of houses where the I4 is... PB 230. There goes being unique in the neighborhood.

AntonM · 03-11-2023, 02:54 PM

BG for the win!

Albator_IIII · 03-11-2023, 03:04 PM

Wow! Nice stance. All the colors in those pictures looking real good and bi-color wheels, chef's kiss.

e30jim · 03-11-2023, 06:45 PM

Here are some more from the Scottsdale display I found. Including the M Performance Car!

GYRKIN GT · 03-11-2023, 07:05 PM

TR for sure. Particularly when it’s sitting in the clear “Downunder” sunshine. Admittedly, the other colours do look great in the photos.

Lex Templar · 03-12-2023, 03:51 AM

BG over black wheels is a fantastic combination and my favourite in this thread, the pictures above are great.
I am however getting AW with black wheels.

ronin13013 · 03-12-2023, 09:08 AM

Sick my friend. Enjoy your Alpine White. Did you get the carbon roof?

I'm still sticking with AW and black wheels too... Although the bi-colors in the latest pics are giving me pause.

I hate that I feel like I'm settling for AW because of lack of color options, but oh well...
