week 45 here as well
basic build 6MT wifey won't allow me to have the LBB, so I went with MG. Now she is trying to sway me into AW... still time to change so I am wondering whether I should. Both color look good. Doing the performance center delivery, most likely. so the production finish time is around 11/10/17, I heard. |

That's funny. My wife would only allow me to get the M2 if it was in LBB!

I mean, if the two of you share it, that's a little different, but if it's your car, why does she have any say in the color!? Mine is LBB, it will be my 4th blue car in a row now... I considered AW but I have a coworker with an AW M435ix so I didn't want to look like a copy cat. Can't keep BSM looking nice for more than 30 seconds, and MG would be nice if I wanted to go subtle but I don't like boring monochrome, I want color on my car. So LBB was really the only option.

I could overrule her, since I'm the sole bread winner, but I wanted LBB anyway, and if she thinks she influenced me, she's happy. Most importantly... Happy wife, happy life! |

My last several vehicles have been white. To be clear, I think the M2 looks great in AW - especially with black or CF bits. But, this time I wanted color. Was swayed by MG... for a while, but ultimately ordered LBB.

Why the heck does it matter to your spouse what color car you drive, that's what I don't get.

ZPrime if the wife doesn't like a color, that's a big things. in my situation she obviously won't spend hours googling and researching about specs and reviews. A car to her is all about appearance, and color is such a big part of it.
Besides, reading the comments of many posters, my summary of the consensus is, if one is concerned about getting above average attentions, then LBB is not an idea color. Love LBB, concerned about the attentions that come with it. I can live with MG ;-) |

Wow, guess I'm lucky. While my significant other shares in my joy of cars & motorcycles, she wouldn't be bothered by my choices, whether it be make, model, color, whatever.
I've read that some folks are concerned that a color like LBB its too flashy & might elicit unwanted attention. Really? While I really dig the aesthetics of the M2, I can't imagine it would get noticed by many common folks. Just not exotic enough in design or color to generate that response, IMO. Now an Aventador in Arancio Atlas... OK. ;-) |
