IMO Black is the best colour in person , in pictures some of the other colours look better... ive seen a lots of M2's and in every colour so my opinion should count for something

I'm lucky to be able to drive both LBB and BSM (we have a few in the family), so I can be biased towards both

It's uncanny how the same car gives off different vibes based on the colour, at least that's what I've experienced in my area.


When I drive the LBB, you just can't ignore the attention it receives, especially on a sunny day, it has presence. I've yet to see one 'disgruntled' reaction from anybody... well there was this one M4 owner but let's not go there

Also folks in other lanes pass me really slowly always pointing, smiling , thumbs up, it's nice the M2 is appreciated for sure especially when the people don't "look" like enthusiasts.



Now when I drive the BSM.... man does this thing look evil and sinister! The vibe from people is different. I can't see anyone pointing because they all stay behind me looking onwards. People respect it and cars tend to get out of the way like you're some vigilante on a mission.

Love them both!

It was so close between black and white but I chickened out in the end and went for the safe choice (for me). I saved a little money, but in the end I really like the way nobody notices a white car and the contrast against the black elements is really sharp. It's the only non-metallic color and I just.... chickened out.
I bounced between black and white weekly for a year....and i still revisit this thread to think what if..... BSM is just a pure win for this car. I think over time AW settles, but out of the factory with mperf bits it seems very "look at me" still, which is fine in its own right . its like ultrawhite and flat, so its just a bright color. BSM is just plain mean and probably takes a better eye for someone to realize the greatness that they are looking at. BSM is def the win color for this car, and I'm sure people get the hell out of the way especially at night when they see those halos in their rear view . that being said, my 2021 M3 is going to be BSM if the Model exclusive color is weak... haha (gotta speak things into existence)

For now I will say, i'm enjoying my car looking clean for longer than 1 hour during pollen season though, LOL.

Lol. This girl doesn't scrub for hours.


Brushed aluminum. I really wanted to retrofit the M performance tips but figured it would be easier to get ones that are meant to fit.

Along with a new exhaust ?

I'm sure it's going to look great.

Probably not. There's a weekend toy ahead later this year.

P21s metal polishing soap is the best for exhaust tips. Safe for chrome, leaves them shiny with not a lot of effort.

Just grills, side markers and reflectors. Otherwise, the car is perfect.

Just H&R Spacers, 15mm rear Spacers...

The stance is the wheels...I actually got rid of my 1st set of FF103s bc there was no concavity....

New wheels and 9.5" and 10.5" and front offset 22, rear et 35...Thats more responsible for the stance (the low offsets, wide wheels, and Nitto Nt05's are very meaty tires and I used 275's rear.
