I need help picking out a color!

I currently have a Brooklyn Gray on order for build week 25, but I am flip-flopping every hour whether I should change it to Zandvoort Blue or not. This weekend I saw some M2s in ZB for the first time and I liked the color way more than I thought I would. It really stands out and makes any carbon fiber or black parts/accents pop. I saw about a hundred BMWs in BG, it's available across a ton of models, while ZB is obviously exclusive to the M2. I have also seen a ton of similar grays that Honda, Toyota, Kia, Audi, etc. are all making and it feels like the 'flat' gray is super-popular across a lot of car brands right now.

BG is the safe color, which I wouldn't hate, but ZB is really unique, but I worry I might regret it after a couple years. I also think it kinda gives off some 'look at me' vibes and I'm not buying this car to try and show off. Other people have said it's a 'girly' color, I actually kind of agree but that doesn't really bother me, tbh.

I'm already talking in circles here, and I don't really know what I'm looking for in this post, haha. I imagine most BG owners will say go with that, and most ZB owners will say go with that. Has anyone else struggled to choose between these colors? How did you pick?

I went with Zandvoort Blue, having never seen it in person, and I'm glad I did. I love Brooklyn Gray, but the appeal for ZB to me was something unique/different than the other 2 series and something that had a little bit more "pop".

I don't think you can go wrong with either color choice though.

ZB is nice and I would recommend. It's also really cool at sunset.

Do you have a matte wrap on it?

Thank you! Yep- Stealth STEK PPF. Gotta protect the paint!

My original order was ZB...5 months later I saw an M2 with it in the showroom (pictures do not tell the full story IMO). Immediate change to BGM.

Just remember, tastes are subjective. Yes, many manufacturers have a gray similar to BGM (read similar but not exact) but it's what you do to your car to make it different. I guarantee there are no BGM BMWs nor any other similarly colored gray car that has a combination like this.

ZB for sure, it's exclusive and growing on many folks.
