Those are great, still loving ZB. I've grown more fond of bsm and BG lately but am still stoked on ZB.

T_U_D · 03-22-2023, 10:58 PM

I so wish that is what ZB really looked like as I would fully be on board to order it.

TR looking good there.

These pics make ZB look good. Too bad we know that’s a lie.

I know, I know, it's definitely not an accurate depiction. Still stoked based on what I've seen in person.

So it's an accurate depiction of the other two, but not ZB?

akenation · 03-23-2023, 09:03 AM

Ho wow.
My TR coming next week but in this photo the best one seem to be the BG but I already got 3 bmw BG in a row so ow I need something different haha.

BG and TR can appear similar to what is depicted, depending on lighting conditions. Typically overcast, not full sun. ZB rarely if ever appears as photographed above, irregardless of lighting conditions.

Note, all of above are slightly darker than what you would actually see in person, especially under full sun. My opinion, there has been some editing somewhere.

Oh I have. I was out there the first week of the press event. The sky never once looked like that.

Okay, exception after the sun had set and it was nearly dark.

Really good point! (Although I’ve seen the sky that color here in Houston!)

M_Power Rob · 03-23-2023, 09:41 AM

I took this last Saturday...BG in full Florida sun.

zero21 · 03-23-2023, 09:42 AM

Again, cherry-picking. Look at all the pics with bright blue sky. What of those?

Or is the point that we just can't trust any pictures from BMW now?

T_U_D · 03-23-2023, 09:46 AM

I am going to park this screenshot here since it is from the same article as the photos above.

They all have shadowing.

Correct! When do you ever think we ever could have?

Even when we had paper brochures there were inaccuracies in color depiction, more so now with variations in device screens. A large part of why I have informed my priority one clients for many years to make an attempt to see their color preference in person.

My first car was a Super Beetle in a shade of blue that seems identical to ZB and that's what comes to mind every time I see it. That VW was destroyed in a crash.

Truthfully, that is better than ZB. ZB is lighter than that.

Thx.. how did you rotate it. I was trying to figure out how to do it (granted, didn't spend a whole lot of time but didnt see any upfront obvious info).

I cropped it a bit. That always seems to help.
