This one. Revealed last year. They should have s**t-canned LBB while they had the chance.
I totally totally agree with you. This colour makes the car look incredible. I want this colour sooo badly !!

Really you don't understand how showing the exact same color on a different (same brand) car showing off the lines will help to give you an idea of how it will be on an M2 will help? I guess you're not very imaginative

Plenty of imagination here, but the question was about showing the lines of the M2.

Awesome bonnet power dome crease lines on the M3 but ooh they're not there on the M2.

My comment wasn't directed especially at you but usually it's just someone desperate to post a picture of their own car.....which wasn't an M2

I agree with the above to be frank. MG is a great colour but not on the M2. It looks epic on an M3 or 4 because of the length of the car and the lines.

So what works on one car doesn't work on others, and posting it here isn't r ally relevant. Why not post a pic of a boat painted in LBB? It should give you an idea of what it'll look like on an M2 right? Ummmmm.....

At the end of the day beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever floats your boat.

You're right I'm so desperate to post my car.

BTW SOME people complain about not seeing the lines on the M3 in MG too. Really was just trying to help.

No worries man, I might been a jerk before.

Loving all the colours. So want a fire orange M2 though.

After seeing this pic and the ones from Thermal Club i'm very happy I ordered MG. Looks like MG will be climbing in the polls and the VIN stats...

Torn between BSM and LBB

Anyone have a BSM M2 in the Maryland area? I have to decide by end of the month and really want to see a BSM in person. I think I like the LBB but it's making me nervous. Order is currently LBB. Let me know, I'd love to see one.

Silver or metallic grey will always show lines more in person or in pictures...While I love and have seen the M2 in all colors (incl. white) I dont think its fair to compare white and black...

Obviously Im biased but Black I believe shows off the lines in person much better than in pictures...Still LBB which Im not a huge fan of and MG which I love show the lines best, again in photos and in person, which is a big difference.

I've actually seen a AW and a LBB at a dealership. How do you like your AW? Have you seen any others in SoCal? You'll have to let me know next time your this way after I get mine.

I love how small the M2 is but I like how the AW made it's presence much larger.

I have BSM and it does look more subdued than the other 3 colours in my opinion. Still looks mean though!

I am 2x the age of the average owner here. i have had a lot of cars, 50+. have had every color under the sun. I always default to white when there is nothing that really grabs me. this was the issue with the m2. if there was one of the bright m colors, an orange or neon something I might have been ok with it but I find no issue with aw and the version of white it is. I love it. I had pearl white on my last s5 and loved it as well. will never own a black car again. toss a med tint on it + keep the wheels clean and tires black, I use the meguiar's G7516 endurance tire gel with a surgical glove and its amazing stuff but you don't want it on your hands lol. so what is the deal, you are getting an 18'? from who? sunroof? adds a lot of weight and drag, ha-ha that fcking thread killed me
