Is that the LCI? Huge improvement!

I'm also bored so I extended the bottom of the bumper so that it doesn't have those weird 90° cuts just above the corners of the diffuser. IMO it looks at lot better, but those sides of the bumper protrude out more than I'd like. If that too was tucked in to take some of that chunkiness out it would fix the entire rear for me. What do you guys think?

I like it. But also wish there was a bottom panel that was body color under the exhaust that attached to those side "flares". I think that would tie the rear end together just like the front bumper.

I find it odd that BMW touts the car being longer than the normal 2 series, when all they did was make extra fat bumpers front and rear. IMO they could have saved the effort and made the car extra boxy to really accentuate the fender flares of the wider stance. IDK that's just me.

Any thoughts on what a stealth PPF wrap might do for ZB? Possibly darken or lighten the color visually? I’m considering going down that path if ultimately landing on the blue…
Guess I need to try and google some light/powder blue vehicles that have been stealth wrapped, but would love to hear commentary from anyone with firsthand experience.

A reputable PPF installer would be best to inquire with. He/She should be able to provide you with the answer that you are seeking.

Color is always subjective.

Being that every car on the road is some form of white/black/grey I feel that anything 'adventurous' should be selected, especially on a performance car.

I went ZB just because I am preferential to blues. All that matters is that it is what I want. Great thing is, if I do not end up liking it I can always get the car wrapped.

Let's all admit it is a shame there are not a variety of colors and move on. Stating that one color is ugly and one is good...Well please, why don't you tell me more about how gifted you child is again

Agree. We all have our opinions. Like I'd hate that I'm forced to choose between the basic white black or gray. And the other color that's not as basic kinda is in red and then the one less seen color is one that really doesn't fit what the car represents.

Though from the M performance parts it seems they are thinking it's a Subaru WRX coupe or some sport compact from the 2000s.

That being said my choice is red but I'm still thinking about the blue and may e the gray

Yes probably if you put Yas Marina in the washing machine at 90º you’ll get ZB

As soon as I saw the ZB reveal, I immediately knew I wanted it. I've always liked the Porsche PTS Meissen Blue, and also the Hyundai N Performance Blue, and ZB is a dream come true if my finances allow in a few years.
