Same here, but that's not the reason why the car was left in gear.

This is not the case in Germany, thankfully.

Even in driving school, we learn to always leave a car in gear for additional safety.
For countries like France, we were told to just leave the car in gear (when parking on a flat surface) and not to use the handbrake at all. BMW's handbrake may (unintentionally) allow for the car to move a bit, but something like a VW won't move at all with the handbrake engaged.

Wow, that's truly horrible.

I know it's all about the driver's personal preference but it's corny. You look like you're training to be a super hero when you add these stripes to your car. I know there's a deeper meaning to these colors but cmon man.

Desaster

MY EYES!!!!

Stripes are for a 16yr old lad's first Austin Metro 1.3 GTA. Not for a real car.

AlpGolcuklu · 02-08-2016, 08:58 AM

Not good

stylinexpat · 02-08-2016, 09:09 AM

Nice on white but not that color

miiipilot · 02-08-2016, 09:14 AM

awful, but it adds hp right?

Car22 · 02-08-2016, 09:15 AM

ick

Wow, uuuggllyyyy

rad doc · 02-08-2016, 09:21 AM

1. Agree stripes look awful
2. Why does the leather look so loose on a new car? Reminds me of Porsche's supple leather option. Yuck!

eugegall · 02-08-2016, 09:22 AM

One of the most horrible things I've ever seen!

DutchM550d · 02-08-2016, 09:22 AM

Might be nice for some people

: but I will pass on the stripes, I will take one without stripes

Benzima · 02-08-2016, 09:22 AM

Not looking good on LBB!

Will look better on all other M2 colors for sure...

What was BMW ///M thinking???

ChrisK · 02-08-2016, 09:30 AM

M2 stripes = Rice = Fail

IMHO, I don't need to advertise you have an M car with stripes.

cc3 · 02-08-2016, 09:33 AM

Are they serious or an early April fool

Andrew115 · 02-08-2016, 09:38 AM

Not digging it in the blue. Maybe on white it will be a little tiny bit more classy.

sakson · 02-08-2016, 09:41 AM

Stripes are for tigers. Unless you drive a muscle car.

Downeaster1 · 02-08-2016, 09:43 AM

Honestly, I think this is probably the worst looking car since the E65/E66.

bradleyland · 02-08-2016, 09:45 AM

Ouch. Sorry, BMW, but LBB does not play well with those stripes. Yeesh.
