Any Brooklyn Grey M2 G87 photos yet?

miiipilot · 10-22-2022, 11:33 AM

Any pics of a BG M2 yet?

I'm leaning heavily on BG. I would go TR if it was more bloody than orangey.

I think most to least fav
BG
TR
AW
BSM
ZB

I soooooo wanted TNM.

DO I risk missing out on the '23 M2 in order for paint options/ind options to open up in '24??

Has a blue hue to it. Is that noticeable in person or just in pics. It seems like half way between ZB and a true gray like skyscraper gray

This is one of the better G87 pictures. No front plate bracket covering bottom of kidneys. Those close up fish eye lens pics distort the hell out of the design.

These pictures don’t do a great job in respect to capturing the neutral colour of BG - although BG does shift several hues between a bleuy gray and a flat grey/almost primer like - depending on the surrounding light conditions, which is pretty cool in itself.

BG is one of those weird colors that looks different to my eyes on different vehicles. For some reason it looks different on SUVs than it does on cars. And it does change a lot depending on the lighting, it can appear very light grey in direct sunlight to a Nardo like flat gray in the shade. It may just be me but sometimes in certain conditions, it almost has a bluish undertone in the shade

I need to find one on a 2 series to go look at. I fluctuate between the following in order:

AW
BSM
BG
TR

I would pay $3K extra if I could just get it in a dark gray

No.. I think that is shadowline. The shadowline top part is black but reflecting some light so looks lighter. The window trim is also gloss black.

I am 100% confident that is what it has . FYI, The window trim is black on all of them with or without the shadowline package. The Shadowline package only changes the headlight interior trim and exhaust finishers.

Your top one circled in red is non-shadowline.. but bottom circled in green is shadowline. Here is the launch vehicle with shadowline. That shroud piece is smooth and extends toward the fender and gets wider with no additional downward hard angle.

I agree with you. Non shadowline has a bright silver brow with weird ridges in it

T_U_D · 10-26-2022, 07:08 PM

I do not see it. Unlike many, I have seen the G87 shadowline headlights in person. I personally took these photos at the Performance Center.

In the ZB picture, the sun isn't reflecting off the entire brow in this picture, only the right edge which is why it reads darker than the latest BG pic where the sun is reflecting off the entire brow causing it to look a little lighter. Trust me, the non shadowline is a much brighter silver. I personally would opt for shadowline 100% of the time.

Edit: added pic of ZB car with shadowline lights where sun is reflecting off the brow also

DrJLag420 · 10-26-2022, 07:18 PM

I like the 'silver' brow. Plus I want the SS exhaust tips. Will look great on a BG with Bi-Color wheels
