Same gear here 800E + those 2 lenses among other.
You found the perfect location for this kind of underexposure.
Nice pictures.

Gorgeous!! Just left a deposit on an '18 this afternoon, and initially selected LBB.. but after seeing your pics, I think Im going to change to MGM... There was an M4 in the showroom in this color and it just looks HOT. Question.. Can you get the dealer to install the black kidney grills, or did you go aftermarket and do it yourself? Looks so much better on the MGM...Congrats!

Thanks so much for your kind words and feel flattered that I made an impact on your decision. I too first put the initial deposit w/LBB but realized in some of the photos that LBB makes the car look smaller IMO. I know it's obviously just my perception but hey, it was my dollar$. I also felt perceptually that MGM somehow makes the M2 look more aggressive. Also, IMO MGM or BSM are the two best colors (in that order) that make the M2 look aggressive with LBB following and AW. Again, simply my opinion but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this :-) As far as the black kidney grills and side grills, your dealer can simply add them on his end to the order. They are then installed at the port before delivery. I asked my dealer if they were installed on the US or German side and he assumed US but b/c I ordered the car with those options initially, he thought it might be possible on the German side. I would love to know if anyone know 100% how/when they install.

I have AW and same problem with the standard film - black on the leading edge and starting to discolor. I am thinking of removing and replacing with better quality - maybe the whole panel as someone else here suggested.
The problem is I use as an all year round DD and I don't want to do the whole car so inevitably I will get a chip somewhere that I haven't put film. Always happens like that.

haha thx, I wondered where that post went to as I meant to post on another thread - must have had a serious brain fade - sorry about that.

But yes took a while to figure out how to add the appropriate highlight without overdoing it like the factory stripe kits. Had it made up by a local signwriter and hand trimmed to exact shape of the panel
