I saw it twice, I was horribly disappointed the first time; in yellow afternoon sun it looked so very green. This is going to sound crazy but it had a hint of a 90s Ford Taurus green to it. The second time, the light was different and it looked better although still not like most pictures portray it. I would probably buy it over MG still which would be my 2nd choice. MG is the safe choice no doubt and I don't think anyone will regret MG.

No worries chris719 , I saw the M2 irl in LBB and an X6M irl @ my dealership.
Anyway, looking at the 'M' logo. I know the heritage of the colours etc, but the lightest blue looks like LBB a bit doesn't it? And the darkest could be SMB. The 'red' could be seen as ??? I'm not into (M) colours but let's say Hellrot on the E30 M3? So far so good Cheers Robin |

For those of you that are in the imaging or graphics field, here is something that I dug out, the color names and codes used in the ///M stripes:
Pantone: Blue — Pantone Process Blue Purple — Pantone 268 Red — Pantone Warm Red Paint: blue violett GLASURIT-BMW 4000 light blue GLASURIT-BMW 5002 red GLASURIT-BMW 353 RGB: Blue — 0 138 201 (Hex: 008AC9) Purple — 43 17 90 (Hex: 2B115A) Red — 241 26 34 (Hex: F11A22) Pantone = color process (order) used by printing shops to define colors. Paint = in this case it is refering to a GLASURIT paint code. Or a specific mix of auto paints. RGB = Red, Green, Blue. The same process your computer monitor or TV uses to make colors.

I never liked SMB. I'm more Le Mans Blue.

YMB comes closer yep you're right.
But I don't like YMB either I saw it on an F80 M3 last year outside my dealership in cloudy weather, it was only 6 months old or so. If it didn't have that colour I probably 'd have bought that car. Cheers Robin |

AW with all the carbon exterior bits gets more appealing by the day.
I really need to see this colour, but chances are it will be a while in the UK. The colour will at least be different to most other things out there. |

Big no no on the chrome window trim for me. But it looks great rolling and I think silver wheels on this car looks better, aka might just paint the stock 437m wheels silver. The rear looks very aggressive during the first drive bye I love it. Especially the rear fender flares... the lighting and angle really accentuate them nicely.

The US is one of the few markets that get the Individual option Shadow Line as standard on all cars. Over here it is a $400 option on all cars (included in M Sport package). |
