I have MR for an e92 and TR for my f95. TR def is a bit more pale and has more orange undertones. Both beautiful colors.

So depending on the angle the proportions look skewed

I literally see four of the five G87 colors daily. I do not have to seek them out. Obviously ZB is the one not viewed often, but I have seen the color in person and at length. Honestly, I feel that I am SOL. I was more than willing to spend the funds for individual paint, but we know how that turned out. Currently I am settling for TR, subject to change. I will more than likely order an LCI when it is announced, especially if individual paint is made available. Edit - FYI, BG is vastly more popular than TR.

I feel like I am settling with my color choice too and that is why I am leaning toward AW or ZB. Why spend the extra $650 for color when it is not truly what I feel good about. AW since it is such a classic BMW color and a safe choice. ZB is intriguing because it is a unique color (attractive or not is a subjective topic) that should stand out without being in your face.

Yes, myself as well as a few others here saw the ZB G87 at the South Carolina Performance Center over a month ago. I literally stared at the car for three or four hours in an attempt to make myself warmup to the color. I could not do it. Yes, AW is classic BMW and I have owned several BMWs in the color, but I personally feel AW is fairly subtle for what the G87 is attempting to pull off.

This is my color. All the other colors are soooooooo boring. I saw the blue in person at the performance center and it is just wrong for this car. It might work for a civic. But not for am M car.

Finally some accurate pics of TR on this thread
As for Brooklyn grey, for me light colors the smaller the car is the better they fit, I find it so-so on the M4, horrible on the X3M, but nice on the M240 (and probably on the M2 too). But of course this is an entirely personal preference. |

I had a sakhir orange f82 and loved the color so trying to switch it up with BG. Do you not like the BG on your m4 anymore?

Went to check out a few M4's and m3's that were in stock at my local dealer. T red on a very overcast day. In person I wasn't the biggest fan.

This color seems to be very similar to Catalunya Red of my Audi RS3, at least in photos. Amazing color that would be the one I would choose for the G87 if I didn't choose it for the Audi.

I know of several clients whom have ordered Brooklyn Grey and upon arrival of their vehicle they decline delivery and re-ordered in another color. Some love it, some do not.

Taken last Saturday at my dealer. New M4 awaits new owner. Toronto Red in various lighting indoors.
Im happy this color will be on the M2. I think this shows various lighting properties given its indoors with shade and sun light. It is a dynamic color. |
