New shot of G87 M2 gives better idea of the Zandvoort color

kgelfen360 · 10-06-2022, 08:45 AM

This is baby blue is like what Jordan's came with in early 2000s.

VIERsr · 10-06-2022, 08:51 AM

It reminds me of this color

Luminor513 · 10-06-2022, 09:13 AM

Smurf blue

dmboone25 · 10-06-2022, 09:14 AM

Hope individual paint options are offered at some point - something like Lemans Blue would look a lot better IMO.

According to the above...no. And it's also BS we can't get it or some standard purple metallic on the G80/2.

Most important thing is to allow individual colors for the M2.

cbertels · 10-06-2022, 10:13 AM

I dislike the car more than the color. Admittedly a YMB owner so there's that.

Germanauto · 10-06-2022, 10:22 AM

The color isn't as bad in that lighting, maybe because it's a rainy day so we see a darker hue to it.

But ultimately, it's like an unflattering shade of YMB. Just give us YMB.

I believe it will look better in any of the other colors.

Wish they were going to offer a dark blue option!

Your car is so gorgeous, I still remember reading that thread about the San Marino color change

That's it.

Man. Again with offering the M2 in barely any colors. Been that way since the 1M I suppose. At least there's finally a red.

Laguna Seca blue should help make Car look good fingers crossed

Isn't that the joke that goes something like "porcupines have pricks on the outside, BMWs have them on the inside"?

440i6MT · 10-06-2022, 12:16 PM

I think the color is fine, if not uninspiring.
Awful-looking car though

10" · 10-06-2022, 12:26 PM

Color is truly awful. Soft and fluffy.

karlkir5 · 10-06-2022, 12:57 PM

Do not get all the hate for this car. Yes, the teasers look awful but they are warped and the car in real life will look much better.

This blue is much better than the Sao Paolo yellow offered as the main colour on M4.

I would consider M2 instead of the new M4 but seems like it will still remain RWD only and the interior will be black only.
