I think the poll results are indicative of people's favorite color or color of their respective M2s. Thanks anyway.

btw, BSM has the best hips

I voted LBB, but my new thought after seeing a BSM car today was that it depends on if it's clean or not. BSM might show it the most if it's clean and waxed/coated due to the huge amount of ambient reflections. I would suspect BSM shows them the least if it's dirty.

You may be correct. It looks like LBB has a real serious following here. Or, maybe I didn't get to see the LBB at the correct angle to see the width but from what I recall, AW seemed substantially wider.

I wouldn't mind getting LBB... if it had a return option after a few months just to see if it's a color I can live with. It seems a bit soft... Reminds me of a compact hatchback... maybe prius?

mineral gray hips

I ordered LBB but I think MG pronounces the body lines better. well I have never seen these cars for more than 3 minutes in person so what do I know?

Ohh!!! Let me participate ...!!!

The <color_I_bought_the_car_in> shows the hips the best!

Now, re-judge the poll ...

V.Smurf · 07-22-2017, 02:56 AM

Well, I voted for LBB .. and what's interesting is that after 66 votes, some of these percentages line up quite closely with what SickFinga has collated in his post on the production numbers

But what is interesting is how they line up:

So, looks like BSM & us LBB owners all have voted with our purchase choice ... but a bunch of the AW owners think that the MG shows off the colour of the cars hips better!

Actually, the more I looked at the photos posted here, the more I thought that each colour shows off the hips in its own individual way. I still have my preference though ...

Cheers!

After just seeing all colors. For hips LBB followed by MG.

Hi .. Just adding my opinion : Here in the u.k. have been lucky enough to see M2's in all colours .. LLB and my BSM

The BSM has wicked Buffalo stance hips !!

metrickid · 07-24-2017, 03:03 AM

I think white shows more than enough hips... But maybe I'm biased.

All 4 colours (5 including the AY 1 off

) show the cars amazing hips pretty much the same.

The only images that don't do it justice, are when the rear 3/4 isn't in a position to reflect light and then darkness/shadow masks that amazing rear!

Is the 2 series the only production beemer where the lights don't meet the grill now? Maybe 1er 2er and 2AT? Ever since we all saw those release shots of (what was eventually the M235i) that Melbourne Red 2 series at a harbour somewhere, I've loved the 2er front.
