Its not unique at all.

Just one of the many colours that comes out of the BMW Leipzig Plant in Germany.

IS3andME · 09-13-2015, 02:46 PM

Not impressed with the color or the pic. There should have been another launch color. Like someone said, it looks very Mazda-ish.

As far as the pic and less camo. We've been seeing the backend of the M2 for months now. It has started to become boring now.
And teasers? Well, the 'Ring vids are "the teasers" in my eyes.

NiceGuyEddie · 09-13-2015, 03:02 PM

That color belongs on either an 80's bass boat or a bowling ball, not an M car.

This car is ugly in real life and on pics... x6m looked a disco ball in this.

Each his or her own. But an m exhaust does not cure that fugly ass. Color is not helping!

Adem1534 · 09-13-2015, 03:40 PM

From the other new thread.

It looks like a beast. Some camo on the hips has been removed. This car continues to look more and more like the gt6 concept. It looks a hell of a lot more aggressive than the m235i.

Diver · 09-13-2015, 03:45 PM

At least it is available white, and that would be my choice. Nice wide stance.

+1 on the much more aggressive stance compared to the 235 - this thing is going to be a great car. Can't wait to test drive one.

Except its not a wide bodied M235i as the M4 suspension is under the rear.

Really? This isn't 2 series hips.

AbuArije5 · 09-13-2015, 04:09 PM

This car is still kinda ugly im going to have to wait.

That looks so good!

Again, I have to ask - Who is the BMW paint guy deciding these things? He needs a swift, violent kick in the balls. The color might be nice and all, but its pedestrian looking. Not befitting an M car launch color at all, given that the other available colors are so completely lame..

The seed of doubt starting to creep in.. need to see the color in person or its time to rethink my deposit.

Siciliano611 · 09-13-2015, 04:27 PM

Yuck

Poll: Should BMW launch the F87 M2 base version in a (more) vivid color ?

so far 123 forum fellows out of 141 replied "yes" (87.23%)
so far 18 forum fellows out of 141 replied "no" (12.77%)

Spook410 · 09-13-2015, 04:53 PM

That's it.. they're taking too long and this teal needs pink pin strips to complete the look.

I quit.. I'm going to buy a:

VW Golf R.. umm.. no. Not very exciting, VW build quality, VW dealers.

Mustang 350.. well.. except the dealers are auctioning them to highest bidders

Ford Focus RS.. no.. Ford dealers again

Audi/Benz something.. no manual tranny.. FWD biased platforms

Porsche Cayman S.. $75K. And no back seat. Damn.

BMW M3.. extra cost.. too big

Cadillac ATS-V.. Maybe. When they have an interior that doesn't remind me of the 80's.

BMW 235.. fast enough I guess.. but maybe they'll fix the steering with the 240 next year.. so have to wait for that.

Yea. Face it. We're screwed and waiting for the M2. Would be getting the mineral grey anyway so what the heck. I say LA Auto Show. Hoping the production schedules are something like right. ED next summer.

Ugh. Must suck to be working on a Sunday like that test driver in the M2.

NOT. I'd do that shit 8 days a week.

Le Mans Blue god dammit!!!!

Could always do Individual?!?

Then I could do ED and have my own post in the "news" section.

No on the individual. That factory doesn't support it with any car.
