Edit, I really tried my hardest to warm-up to ZB after staring at it for three or four hours, but I just could not do it.
Amen...and I am truly hoping that ZB turns out to look like what I hoped it would when I placed my order (without seeing it in person on a "sample car" or my actual car).

Does anyone know if the winter-spring US auto shows have an M2 on display? I'm guessing not since I haven't heard anything on this forum. But if they did it would probably be a good opportunity to see ZB in person.

Appears the Euro shows have M2s, so thought I would mention it.

Back in the 1M days, similar situation as they weren't at dealers yet, but they had a VO 1M doing the auto show tour around the country.

Been wondering the same but I imagine like you mentioned we would’ve heard about it by now. I hear the XM will be there…not sure why the M2 wouldn’t be.

This video has a G87 and an F87 M2C parked in front of each other. There are some angles where you can see both cars together.

Note: Video is in French, I watched it with the sound muted.

I just learned that the closed captioning can be auto translated. Worked pretty good.

Yes, it can but it’s not like they were going to tell me anything I didn’t already know so I muted it.

I see the IG on my mobile.

Color looks real good in that video, as well. Where is that from?

This color is hard to photograph and match what your eyes are seeing. Done in different lighting conditions with the car in the same spot

The gloss looks really good in those photos. Color looks great.

The more I see, the less I'm inclined to switch back to TR; though I guess that's because I just keep seeing more and more ZB but man, it is really growing on me.

That is BMW’s intent.
