Even has proper M mirrors... must be more of an M car than the M2

I must admit, I've had a lot of white cars as I find it's a colour that suits the kinds of cars I go for. My current Golf GTI is white, and my M2 waiting list order is currently white.

I'd never have a black car again, too high maintenance, and I personally find that grey/silver is a bit too conservative. I do like some garish colours too like certain greens and oranges, but while I can appreciate them, I don't think I'd want that on my daily driver. I'm kinda' like that with the LBB - looks nice, certainly goes with the black wheels, but not sure it's a colour I'd want to live with.

Being brutally honest, my ideal colour combo would have been Mineral White with Coral Red leather, but alas, that would mean getting an M235i or waiting to see if they extend the range of options!

Still, it's a first world problem, and I'm happy to be in such a fortunate position.

Nope.

Black Sapphire Metallic all the way.

For those considering black but worried about the upkeep, I just helped a friend wax her car (aka did it for her) with the turtle wax 3-step black restore kit. It was a 4 year old Volvo convertible, so the paint isn't as nice as BMWs finish but still metallic. She had also NEVER waxed the car. Did it about 6 weeks ago and it brought the finish back to showroom new, added a depth to the color and hid any minor imperfections. It still looks great after just a normal wash. Highly recommend the product for those who go black.
