Better?

In my opinion the jet black wheels do not help.

I like black wheels, but the 930m is way to busy and gives black wheels a worse rep than they already have.

I had a Toronto red m4 comp before somebody ran a red and sent me through a train stop. It definitely looks orangish in bright sun. It was gorgeous and I can't tell you how many comments and thumbs ups I got driving that car. It's definitely the color I'll be getting when my number comes up.

Whomever took the pics must have resized them when uploading to IG. They're all pretty small at 640x360. Reminds me of car pics from early 2000's.

Looking at these TR pics, I think the M2 looks best in TR.

It does the best job of softening the lines of the car especially hides the shape of bulbous read bumper better than any of the other color choices and imo the best color for the M2. Even does a great job blending into the black area of the exhaust/diffuser area.

I think it's that high gloss of the red that help soften the hard lines and shape.

Thanks for these. Super helpful to get more data points.

I feel like AW, BS and BG are safe choices in terms of knowing what you're going to get, but they're also not as exciting to me.

In contrast, ZB and TR seem to have so much more variability - depending on the light, both of them can look like either the best color or the worst color. Lots of risk/reward with those two.

I wonder if there are any legacy colors that are widely loved but also have photos where the lighting makes them look unappealing. That would actually set my mind at ease and make it easier to overlook some of ZB's and TR's less flattering pictures.

What's your current choice? How many have you see IRL?

I have a deposit down on ZB, but of course that's non-binding until I get an allocation.

In 90% of the photos, ZB is my favorite color but as we know, when photographed in certain bright light, it can look either washed out or sometimes, almost neon. That concerns me.

Likewise, most of the TR photos look great (especially with Cognac) but there are also certain photos where it gets the "tomato soup" or "faded old Ferrari" look that I don't like.

If I lose my nerve, I'll go BS. I think that's gorgeous, but I've owned black cars before and want something different. AW looks great, but I'm just not a white car guy. BG also looks good, but to me, it's the least interesting option.

I have NOT seen any of them in person, but am talking with my dealer about the arrival of his HEA in ZB and will check that out along with whatever TR example he has on the lot. That should settle things.

I'm guessing from your avatar you're going ZB? Congrats!

Sounds like what most people are experiencing.

Yeah I saw ZB in person and knew right away. Thanks. Eagerly awaiting the arrival since my HEA unit got to the port just 100mi south!
