SG would be my preference, but I would also have to consider AR and DG as they are nice colors as well.

Would go Fire Orange myself. I guess if I have to end up w/ Toronto Red and it does have the orange hue, I will be half happy.

SG really is a badass color.

It'd be a tossup between BG and SG...and It'd probably be SG but I had a space gray 335 in the past so I'd want something a little different.

You went individual while we were discussing the colors from the G80 regular color palette. If I was going individual, which I was originally planning to do, it would have been one of the following, Santori Blue, LeMans Blue, Avus Blue, or Imola Red.

In my opinion, Skyscraper is a good bit lighter than Space.

I've had the opportunity to line them up next to one another and never got around to it. One day when it warms up I'll make it a priority. Both look great.

My individual options are Technoviolet, Orinoco Pearl, and Petrol Mica. Ideally I'd have one of each ha

I'd do some despicable things to have Aventurin Red. I've been fawning over it since I first saw one in person last year.

I recall that video. I definitely would prefer to see video of one from a distance.

I know what ZB looks like as I have seen it in person, but the one I viewed at length was equipped with the jet black wheels and I have yet to see the bi-colored wheels in the flesh.

I was considering something like stealth ppf or autoflex, but these photos reminded me more of what I saw that day. I'm not going to mess with it, I like how it looks in partial shade, I think the 2 different shades are great next to each other. I have a lot of partial shade where I live and am stoked again for the color.

Nice pics, but the video of them driving it out of a shipping container with the fog machine is pure cringe.

Agree, I think the bi-color wheels would look best with ZB.

The uniqueness of ZB is really tempting, no other BMW had/has this color and it is a super rare color for any make/model.

A very true statement, at least for the time being. Valencia Orange was originally exclusive to the 1M and then BMW made it available on the first generation X1 (US).

If ZB was maybe two shades darker it would be far more tolerable. At its current state it is not an easy color to love.

Agreed it is definitely an acquired taste and would be an instant hit for me as a metallic or in a darker shade, but I like the fact that it is unique without being a loud color like VO or SPY.
