Can’t Decide Between Zandvoort Blue and Toronto Red
I’m really stuck between these two colors. I’ve seen every video and picture online on both and I just can’t decide. I don’t want another Black/White/Grey car. The Voodoo Blue was nice too but it looks like an old color I had. I’m 51% Zandvoort Blue and 49% for Toronto Red. The red looks super clean and mean. I like the blue a tiny bit more because it’s an exclusive color for BMW and I do lean towards blue cars. Black/Grey/White/Red are popular colors with other manufacturers too whereas the baby blue isn’t help anyone and post pictures of your M2 please

If you're buying a '25 Toronto Red is no longer available. If you're buying a '23-24, you'll have to find one. That said Toronto Red > baby blue, and I generally don't care for red cars (only owned 2 out of over 40 vehicles).

I recommend you make the effort to see both in person before making your choice. Prior to ordering, I was leaning TR. Then, I saw both in person and switched to ZB. This is subjective and there are no bad choice when it comes to color.

I love ZB in person and didn’t like it at all in pictures. There happened to be an unclaimed 24 ZB Manual when I was looking so I went for it! No regrets.

Even more so with carbon fiber roof and some of the M performance parts. Mine didn’t come with the roof (ok my one regret lol) but I plan to do CF mirror caps, diffuser, the G42 spoiler, and maybe those front brake air inlets. I’ve had bad luck with every lip I’ve ever installed on cars so that part isn’t for me lol.

i saw ZB in an indoor parking lot and it looked so washed out, but its such a vivid color out in the sun, totally changed my mind. Ideally you should view it in person and see how you like it. Photos just dont cut it. I placed ZB over TR in the end. |

They both look better in person than in pictures. I don't blame you for being on the fence. I think I would be 49% ZB, 51% TR simply because the TR looks better than the ZB in pictures.

Super personal decision. When I was buying my 24, ZB was my last choice. It’s too loud for me. I almost went TR, but then I saw photos of BSM with gold 827M wheels and went that route.

Both colors are awesome, and you will unlikely find pictures that do either of them justice.
If you want my personal opinion, I'd get the red. The blue is fairly common, but the red is a treat because I so rarely see it. I recently saw a red on the highway with an all around carbon lip kit, and all the black pieces really contrast nicely with the red. Add some gold/champagne wheels, and you're good to go. |

Ugh...this doesn't bode well price wise when I'm eventually ready to get a TR.
