I figured, the other ZB -> red edits I saw had a ton of weird artifacting. Nice work on the white though

Did BMW buy Scion's old stock or something? What is this atrocity...

Agreed. It's much better in black.

Hilarious

This car looks like a Halloween joke gone wrong.

tadmcmichael · 10-10-2022, 07:52 AM

BMW has to be punking us?!?

Top of the rear bumper is so large it looks like the back end of an 80's mini van.

Genuinely don't understand what people find so bad about the rear end. To me the chunky rear air vents do a nice job making the rear haunches flow backwards and give the rear bumper some cool definition.

I always liked the f87 m2 but I never found the rear end very inspiring, even on the CS it was just a slightly rounded plain bumper.

To each their own though

When the dealership you have a deposit with gets an allocation and your turn in line comes up

anitasanger · 10-10-2022, 08:02 AM

I don't get all the hate on Zanny B. Any blue in this spectrum is almost impossible to photograph with any accuracy. For example, Google "fender sonic blue", or "fender daphne blue." They are guitar colors that are very close to Zan, and sometimes they look chalk white, and others they look like a sickly pepto bismal equivalent blue. But in person, they simply look killer.

I get that pastels simply aren't some people's thing, but it's very avant garde and outside the box, especially for a launch color. I genuinely love it.

Nice job. Looks fantastic.

Combine these aggressive looks with a much better interior and next-generation drive and you’ve got a winner.

Anyone’s guess as of today. SOP, Start of Production is scheduled to begin in December with the launch in April 2023.

PS - you'd think the people taking these photos would take one or 2 decent ones. Why not capture the whole car?

Because most of this forum is 50 year old dudes with iPhone 5S's that have no clue how to take a basic picture.

Just wondering why you find a need to disparage 50+ dudes?? Those are the kind of comments that are unnecessary! Just saying.

Macphisto · 10-10-2022, 08:07 AM

I am glad it's ugly so that I wouldn't be tempted to get one. BMW seems to be following a pattern where the new generation is worse than its predecessor.

Sorry, I still don't see it looking better..IMO

I'm not a fan of how the tail light lenses bulge out from the bodywork (which I know is a feature of many cars these days, front & rear), but add to that from under the tail lights the bumper bulges out further with this huge gap/flat surface under the lense. The bumper looks like 3 boxes joined together, a long rectangle centre piece with 2 squares at each end

Ok, now when's the LCI facelift??
