Get HS - it's the new color, and it's hot. LBB is also hot, but HS is unique to the M2C, so more special (for now anyway).



The DCT/MT question is whole other ballgame...

Agreed on the shine. Well, HS for me then and the silver wheels. My allocation is the third one so I won't get it until Oct. so hopefully I'll get a chance to see the color and wheels (with some tire shine) before then.....

You've seen the blue stitching more than once and on different M2c's. Which of these two pics does it look like in real life? The first one IMO looks terrible, but the second pic doesn't look bad.
2nd one..

Don't listen to anyone around here, they've got more opinions than a bus full of lawyers. It's your $$$, what matters is what makes you happy, not someone else. I mean I don't see them paying for your car, do you? That said, congratulations on your M2c in LBB w/DCT.

I never listen to anyone. That's my biggest issue. At my age, you don't care about anyone's opinion either

My car is spec'd as LBB with 6MT. As of now.

I've seen you lean towards LBB w/DCT multiple times which is why I think that's what you'll go with.

I got spoiled with DCT in the last two M cars. Great for the wonderful traffic around Chi-Town.

Pic 01 (looks terrible IMO)

Pic 02 (not bad)
Hmm, I must have missed this second pic. Blue actually looks pretty good in the second pic. First pic was the reason that drove me away from the blue but now I might change my mind (again lol).

I have a feeling I'll change my mind about the seat and the car color several times so I'll just wait till it's closer to my prod week to let my CA know. Otherwise, he'll have to make changes to my order numerous times till September

I’m with pic #1. If it were #2, it’s not a show stopper but I’d have to trade seats with someone

Yea not sure if I like the more pronounced blue inserts. It may just be the angle as mentioned by others but they look good in this video:

Agreed - nothing beats real world experience.

In the meantime, I’d settle for some new pics!

At the very least they need to get some paint samples out to larger dealers.
