As I have stated, my original order was specced with ZB but with all the variations shown in all the pictures and videos, I am not prepared to spend $70k to find out I will need to wrap or have the car painted.

I have seen all the colors in person but ZB. I will also state the BSM in person looks different than what is posted in many of the pictures. Pictures dont always speak 1000 positive words...
You’ve seen all the colors but ZB already? Lucky. I’ve yet to see the car at all.

Curious what your thoughts were on AW. I have a feeling that will catch ppl by surprise as one of the best looking colors, and want to know what your opinion is.

Clarification...I have seen all the colors but NOT on the M2. That being said, the color is what the color is, no matter what the car.

Not a fan of white so it didn't do anything for me (wasnt a standoutin terms of whites go, either).

The whole first paragraph is exactly what I'm talking about. Either way I'm not going to perpetuate the discussion further.

BMW appointed me their ZB spokesperson at Daytona 24hrs race when I saw it in person. I signed a contract and everything

I can't tell . . . are those bicolor wheels, or is it just light reflecting off the glossy black wheels?

I think some sort of tinted bronze would look good on ZB.

You know that is a "perfect" photo with no edits or filters how? With ALL the different looks in numerous photos and videos, no idea how you or anyone else can state which onenis clearly the exact/correct color.

Look, I am sure ONE of the photos is correct and some will be thrilled and some will be disappointed. I hope for all that stuck with it are thrilled.

I don't know. I'm feeling this. This is Richland Forged brushed tinted bronze.

I was on the fence but I don't think gold 827M combination does it any favors. I think it will look better with a classic five spoke or split-spoke design.

I think I'm black 827M's. Good value proposition and ticks a lot of boxes.

Puking at the ZB, and especially with those rims/rim color.

With the blue, if you dont want black, maybe a hyper gunmetal or hyper black (or possibly in the brown family like an espresso?...would need to see a rendering). If you gonwith some of the better aftermarket companies, they should be able to provide a few renderings on the house).

ZB is definitely not a good color to do a color match on the rims.

I actually like those rims, the drop on that car is a little distracting though.
