BSM for me, also picture side by side with modified AW. In the end go with your heart otherwise regret will set in.

Buy at your own discretion. They're AutoID. This is my clip: https://instagram.com/p/BR1FUC7Bjg7/

The front on the covers look fine but I don't like the quality of the finish that's visible to the driver- esp for $175. Everyone seems to have good things to say. Maybe I'm just too picky. They're not much better than eBay ones IMO. I'm just waiting for a more permanent solution to come out.

I'm lovin my BSM, I put in the IND Black Chrome package and the Black Slat rear reflector inserts...it is just a mean looking machine....my beauty and beast!!!

That said, if you can handle the swagger of the LBB you ought to wait until you find one....do not let a dealer get in your way; if you are in Calif and willing to wait a few months I can hook you up with a broker I used...just pm me.

Black and white are standard BMW fare. Have not see LBB but I have MG and MG is Magical. It's amazing and comes standard with a 23 HP boost over all other colors.

Strange that you can't get LBB. Definitely my favorite color. I do like the MG though as well though. Probably my second choice if LBB wasn't an option.

i have finally made up my mind. I just called my dealer to change my order from MG to Black. I find it would be easier to find a good matching bbs wheels if the car was black. And would appear more aggressive. Many thanks guys, will put my deposit today. It's expected to arrive on June

Get a new dealer. Why would there be a restriction on color choice if you are special ordering a car. The allocations are you sell one you get one so you may have to wait for an allocation but you shouldn't be limited on color choice. I just ordered my LBB m2 in November and took delivery this last Saturday. No mention of any "color restrictions"

Unless there is a world wide shortage of LBB paint your dealer isn't telling you the whole story.

excellent choice. yes the BSM can be more aggressive looking ...i.e. "this car means business" and, IMO, the beautiful M2 curves are most accented by the BSM.

Having said that all the other colors are also nice... just not as nice as BSM! partial of course

As long as you don't get white, you won't be disappointed.
