Saw ZB in person
Went to the dealer the other day and there was a ZB G87 parked out front. I hadn’t ever seen ZB before.
And holy goddamn was I surprised. I’ve never been one to hate on the G87 except for when it came to ZB - I’ve said many negative things about it. I take it ALL back. It looked really good to my eyes. If I were to get a G87 I’m not sure if I’d get it in ZB but after seeing it in person I’d at least strongly consider it. Great color! |

Opposite here....when my order went in November 2022, I speccd color as ZB. Once I saw the Daytona pictures from early 2023 I started having second thoughts, and once I saw it in person in April, it was BG all the way. ZB was just not for me...

I'm the opposite. The first one I saw my wife sent me pics of at the dealership when she was test driving her X3MC. Then I saw it in person when I picked the X3 up for her. Did nothing for me, and I stopped thinking about the M2 and started looking at M3s & M4s for 3 months.
I then was messing around on BMWs website and started considering it again going between TR & BG. Even though I don't really like red cars, the orange undertone makes it for me (love orange cars).

It's all personal preference. Some love it, some hate it. Personally, I fall under the former.

I bought a gulf blue 991 for euro road trips, I let the wife choose the colour. Hated it at first thought it was too feminine and lacked the depth you get with a nice metallic. Was totally in love with it a month later, hides swirls like champ and very different to the usual Pantone collection on the road.
When ZB was on the M2 was a no brainer for me. Sadly cars live on different continents as much as I’d love to park them side by side to see the difference. |

I was very ehhhh when I first saw it (literally on the car Ihad just built lol). Boyyyyy did it grow on me. Couldn’t be more in love. Only regret is not going full PPF because I plan on keeping this car for a loooong time

Same here. I was all-in on either BG or TR until I saw a ZB in real life properly lowered with a set of forged silver wheels. I was hooked. Been loving my ZB since June and get a lot of complements on the color. It’s not for everyone but it is certainly unique.

I'll believe it when I see it on the builder. Lol.

Zandvoort Blue does look great in person. I have never purchased a blue car in my life and I have owned a few cars. I love it.
