Colour combo and wheel design looks phenomenal!

Do you mean the dots on the windows and how the tint doesn't look uniform on it? If so not too bad.

Hell yeah! Thanks! Any new thoughts regarding your M2? 1M still more fun?

Great pics of MG. Glad I order it as well as I want to be stealth.

Sorry guys but a hothead, member of a Belgium forum, obliged me to hide my custom plate number.

[Adem1534]

Oh Granny, what big fangs you've got!

MG looking beautiful. Has anyone thought of the XPEL stealth on this colour? It would really give it a gunmetal finish.

I wasn't really a big fan of matte wraps, but a satin wrap that represents my original paint wouldn't technically be a matte wrap would it?

At this point, I think they are equally fun just in different ways. I will say that I am loving the DCT and am not sure I will ever switch back unless I have to (special editions only offer manual, etc.)

The sound...Holy Shit the Sound! The exhaust has opened up a little after only 1200 miles! It's badass driving downtown hearing the exhaust bouncing off the buildings or going under an overpass. I wish we had tunnels around here.

The handling is unreal. I can take corners at speeds that I wouldn't think of in the 1M and the car just stays flat with no sign of loosing traction. This thing just grips! But, keep in mind that these are public roads so I'm no where near the limits. The stability at high speeds is also much improved over the 1M.

For those of you who say "sounds boring", this car can also be the naughty houligan if you want it to be, you just have to make it do it. Unlike the 1M, which sometimes made that decision on its own. Lol.

Straight line speed? Honestly, it doesn't FEEL that much faster in a straight line than the 1M but before you know it the 80mph warning gongs(I have the speed limit warning set to 80). The power feels more linear and the longer wheelbase and vastly improved suspension/platform contributes to this feeling.

I can't wait until I have the break in service on Monday so I can unleash the beast!

I personally love the interior and if glossy carbon fiber was a no cost option I would not select it. I think the carbon fiber they used is awesome and continues with the no glare interior the 1M had. It's also unique which is another plus. The seats feel good and I understand how some people would like "cooler" looking seats but these work just fine. I just wish we could have ordered manual seats.

The 1M. I wish I could have kept it but it didn't really make sense for us at this time. I think you have to own one to really understand how special it is. It's ugly to some, it's short wheelbase = great handling but unpredictable. Cartoonish fenders, tall roofline, spartan interior, manual only, droning exhaust, stiff suspension, all the clunks and thuds coming from underneath, VO paint. These are the things that scare most luxury car buyers away but they are the things that made the 1M so awesome...at least to me. Oh yeah, did mention it was kind of rare in the US?

Thanks! It's Lumar Carbon based. I didn't feel like ceramic was really worth it. I didn't really care that much. The 18% is great... but it's the darkest I'll ever go for sure. It looks really good, and the guys did an amazing job with it. I also got the roof wrapped gloss black, but I haven't taken a picture of that yet.

Any more details about why you're loving the DCT. This is positive coming from a ex-1M owner.
