Even my wife called it a nail polish job going wrong.

With that said, colors are personal if you like it go for it, like I will go with ZB even if everyone else here hates it.

I find ZB to be epitome of faded in appearance. A paint job gone wrong lol

To each their own

ZB looks like a pastel blue, pale by definition

I saw it in person yesterday on an M4. Didn't bother taking photos as it clearly doesn't translate in photos. In most instances it reads pretty ordinary red. My kids were like "it's red". But it does have a slightly washed out look where it loses a bit - the person above stated it as close as I would describe it, which is the color of a tomato. Red but just the ever bit faded.

I agree that picture is about as close as you can get to what Toronto Red really looks like.The color really looks great with the design of the car in this video.The all black wheels are a must with TR IMO.

While the look is polarizing, seeing it in motion makes it grow on me. Getting hyped!

Did you order the M2 in Toronto Red?

If I can't get Individual paint, yes. I am further on the order list. This might mean possible Individual paint by then.

Few new pic from IG

Well I finally caught a glimpse of Toronto Red on a X4 M yesterday morning. I was on the Edens heading North (right next to Fields BMW) and it was heading South bound. Well it was overcast, and it definitely came off as a washed out/ weathered faded red as stated before by others in this thread. Not a good look. I really wanted to go with TR, but it looks like black it is. Number 8 at a different dealer so will have some time to spec

I keep checking the local BMW to see if they have any TR cars on the lot but nothing yet.

Yep! It gives up that vibe 75-80% of the time. Out of the current reds Melbourne would have been a better choice. Imola, not currently offered other than Individual Paint, would have been perfect!

I think this picture is very representative.

Went back to my dealer today to look at an M4 Comp in TR - still looks a bit too orange for my liking.

My wife wants me to get TR. I've def crossed out BG and SB. If a ZB car makes it to SC I will take a road trip just to find it. I may just flip a coin on this one.

ZB was in Upstate SC seven weeks ago at the Performance Center. These DSLR photos are 100% accurate as you can get without seeing ZB in person. I was there, this is a true representation of the color.

Edit Caerus can confirm as the photos are his and he originally intended to order ZB.

I'll be ordering my TR with the bi color wheels.

If my number comes up before Individual paint, I will do so as well.

What I currently have spec’ed as well.

Though I am seriously considering switching to AW.

Yep, exactly the same for me. Do you think black or bicolor wheels if you go AW?

I do not care for the jet black wheels so the bicolor wheels are the only option for me, regardless of the exterior color.

Someone said it looks like tomato soup and that hasn't left my mind since. It's a no go for me

If the 826M wheels were available then i would definitely order the bi color.I’m just not thrilled with the spoke design of the 930M wheels so ordering them in the gloss black just looks better IMO.
