I'm not saying that it's not functional, I just think it looks too 'Transformer-ish'. I liked the aero styling of the C6 ZR-1 much better.

I absolutely love this widebody ZR-1 (..I know, it's the orange in an apples comparison).

That to me looks like crap with very little ground clearance so it bottoms on the track so it will handle like crap and be useless on the street.

Cool car but the proportions are just awkward. Car looks like it needs to be stretched a foot or so.

Hey, was there yesterday as well, I guess we went at different times. You pre-order one of these?

Two things I want to comment on for you guys ordering your cars. The YMB will probably appeal to a very limited number of people. The colour doesn't look like the ones in these pics at all (they're saturated as someone pointed out). I would caution anyone to not order that colour unless you've seen it in person.

Secondly, I thought the black wheels look bad in pics, but actually look great in person, and the design of the wheels look much better in person as well. This opinion was shared by two others I was with as well.

I had a feeling these photos were over saturated with regards to YMB. Would you say it's a shade or two too dark in these photos?

I'm definitely a fan of blue and will be ordering my M3 before seeing most of these colors in person. As of right now it's a toss up between SO w/black interior or YMB w/SS interior. Just not sure if this will be too light of a blue for me.

It doesnt look like in pics, its better in pics than in person, its simply baby blue , i dunno if you saw eb2 in person it almost looks like a different blue from every angle , on the other hand this blue is boring almost flat blue without any other shade of blue in it, deffinetely a must see before buying

EB2 looks good in person but I thought that it looks a little flat compared to other blues that have been offered. If YMB looks even flatter that isn't a good sign. Although others have commented that YMB does give off a metallic look in certain angles.

It's like a light baby blue colour. It honestly looks quite bad, I'd be surprised if anyone said it looks great in person. The actual BMW rep standing there turned to a viewer who stated he thought it was ugly and said "I can tolerate the yellow one, but the blue I can't stand looking at." It's that bad. There's no metallic hue to it, or very little. The yellow looked really amazing in person but I would never order it.
