I was in the same dilemma and asked myself, am I buying the car to get attention from others, or to put a smile on my face every time I drive it with minimal attention? I went with Mineral Grey ...

All. At the dealership now. Going with blue. It's just too special of a color. Looking through the lens of my iPhone makes this car look dark blue. So I can confirm that photos of this color don't do it justice. Thanks for everyone's inputs.

I just saw my first MG M2 in person last week. It really is a special color and jumps out plenty for me (I'm 56 however). It made my 235i look very sedate!

Hopefully you'll get to see all colors in person to make a decision (to each his own). I picked LBB and added black grills (liked the look) and aluminum pedals to brighten up the black interior. I test drove an MG back in April but I prefer brighter colors so I didn't consider it or BSM. I like AW (had a 2000 3 series in that color). The car is such a blast to drive that I could live with any color.
Check out the following past forum on LBB: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1327252 |

It is a weak looking grey - if it was flat grey it would have been impressive. But its run of the mill - - of course, IMHO.
I like white...as it can take fun decals and maybe a meatball and decal stripes. |

Wife banned me from getting the LBB (and I agreed with her, I wanted something a little more stealthy). Any one of AW, MG or BSM will work great from the stealth angle. LBB screams "look at me" too much and I didn't want the boy racers trying to race me at every traffic light.
Even so, my AW has already got plenty of attention at work - had a happy hour on Friday and the whole team gathered round to take a look... and hear it too

The color that requires the least maintenance of the 4 available ones.

Finally saw an LBB drive by me the other day. Not digging it at all. To me it's like red leather interior. Good for a week or so but after a while I'd be sick of it. BSM or MG is going to be my choice. I flip flop between the two almost daily.

Come on, man, get a grip. For sure also you got interesting things to say. Would be a pity that the message of your comments gets lost because of the unpleasant way you phrased these. When humor is repeatedly perceived by way too many people over here as rather abrasive, disruptive or outright rude, the class act you eventually had in mind, risks to be considered being an ass act.

I was set on the LBB but then watched a youtube video with MG and it looks more menacing. Then I saw another video with the black and that looks awesome. The white would be my last choice but still looks great. My only concern with LBB is that it seems that's what most everyone is getting/wanting.

And, the M2 is a rare car. So even if you got the color that 50%+ have, it's not like you will see LBB very often. |

Good point but I also worry that will make the wait longer or more likely they might want to bump the price or add frivolous options to take advantage of that demand. I'm almost back to gray.

I have not seen LBB increase the wait or the cost and.... color is very personal, so go with what you like, not what we tell you to (even if LBB is the fastest ).
