Which color shows the M2 lines best?

Hoonigan808 · 02-04-2016, 07:09 PM

I am having trouble deciding on the color for my car. Blue, White, Grey, Black? I love the blue but not sure about how the color changes and if it will show the hips on the car like grey or maybe even black?

///MIKE M · 02-04-2016, 07:19 PM

LBB all day.

Benzima · 02-04-2016, 07:21 PM

I really like all, even if I am going LBB.

Each color has its own personaly IMHO.

Hoonigan808 · 02-04-2016, 07:28 PM

What about the percentage of LBB cars being produced VS. other colors?

Judging by a poll posted in this forum, the majority will be LBB.

LBB and MG.

This one. Revealed last year. They should have s**t-canned LBB while they had the chance.

You think that will hurt the value of the car more?

BEM-S4 · 02-04-2016, 10:15 PM

Saw white today. It was honestly kind of blah.

Hope not lol I'm getting one. There will always be a market for BMW guys who want the m cars in the launch color. Look at the vo for the 1m I thought it was hideous. I'll be keeping the car forever regardless and I like blue for my m cars.

I saw both LBB & the white while I'm away in Berlin this week. The LBB really shows the lines of the car as its tone varys in the light. The white next to it looks really plain and dull IMHO.

I don't think so...that poll should be representative of all potential m2 buyers inside and outside of this forum. So ya, lot more lbb's out there but also alot more demand for LBB.

Hoonigan808 · 02-05-2016, 12:31 AM

Anyone know if there are any in Southern California?

I placed my order in the LBB then wasn't sure about it. Although those pics confirmed it for me. That color is awesome!Going to look amazing will yellow brembos.

F1zbo · 02-05-2016, 02:25 AM

I would say, judging from pictures and seeing other BMWs in the four colours avaliable:

LBB->MG->AW/BSM

LBB seems best and I was decided on that but changed my my mind after seeing an X6M IRL in LBB.
Does not look like the majority of the pictures and I would have been dissapointed if I had ordered LBB blindly.
Tried to take some pics with my iPhone 6 but it was impossible to catch the green in the colour. This is the reason I say the pics you see on the internet is not accurate as they are missing the green hue in the colour.

I changed my order to MG after seeing LBB IRLand I recommend everyone to try and do the same before ordering.

pruettfan · 02-05-2016, 02:41 AM

I believe LBB is the car that shows the lines best. It is the only color M2 I have seen in person. Photos don't really do it justice in my opinion. There will be a lot of LBB cars but I don't really see that as an issue because these cars won't be super common anyway.

Prodigy. · 02-05-2016, 02:54 AM

No idea, yet to see one in person.

From the pics i've seen LBB.

The pics in the Philly thread are better than the ones I got. It didn't look bad just kind of blah.

For what it's worth the Philly show is kind of lame. Except for the **** where Benz and Lexus were in the old train depot (which is an awesome ******* everything else is just in a big boring exhibition hall. No fancy displays, booth babes, etc. I mention this because I thought the white was eh and it wasn't that I was distracted by neon lights and a crazy circus going on around it. Just didn't stand out.

Why does this forum censor the word a r e a?

Wr3ks · 02-05-2016, 07:58 AM

I agree with F1zbo. MG looks fantastic, I keep seeing it on the F80 chassis and even the M235i and it appears to show the angles well in a dark and light contrast.

2017 models will hopefully offer more colors options like the M235i currently gets.
