So much nicer, shame the winter wheels look too small but MG combined with silver/grey 19" wheels would look awesome.

That pic solidified my opinion. MG all the way for me if I remain in the M2 camp.

I will even take those wheels over the shitty black ones. Why can't we at least have a choice PUHLEASE. Henry Ford is dead.

very under the radar. Silver 437's or 359's would do the trick for me.

The video is even better: http://www.2ertalk.de/index.php?app=...attach_id=6293 (.mov file - 7.3 MB)

Photographer commented (in German):
"The sound doesn't get across properly in the video, but it really nicely rumbled, though it left with a decent pace. I can equally tell you that it is truly a 'Sahnestück' [piece of cake / something sweet], that the pictures cannot do justice to some extent".
("Sound kommt null rüber im Video, aber der hat echt schön gegrummelt, ist aber auch nur dezent los gefahren. Ich kann euch nur sagen: live ist der ein echtes Sahnestück, die Pics können das irgendwie nicht so richtig rüber bringen.")

It is a good video and yes I was expecting to hear more of the exhaust in the video.Nice to hear that the guy that took the video was very pleased with the sound of the exhaust.

MG looks great and seeing the car not isolated but in traffic really makes it look smaller
which is a good thing. If I wasn't in a longterm relationship with my 135 I'd be ordering me one.

I like seeing it out in traffic. Puts it into perspective. I think I'm even liking the rear end now. This car looks better than the 1M it replaces, but only because I like it low key. It's like a beautiful girl who also happens to have the goods underneath her sweats and no one can really tell, but we sometimes get an idea of what's there. haha

Mineral Grey is the most boring color ever. Yet this car looks great! Why do I love the MG pics? Why couldn't I just keep hating MG? I will never be able to pick a color.

Also, the car may not sound loud in the video but it sounds great to me. Not too loud, not too quiet, but definitely sounding like it means business!

The vid does far more justice than the pics and the car does look great in traffic. MG actually looks pretty good, or maybe I just like how the M2 looks regardless of color.

I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who likes silver wheels on this car way mo betta than those funky anthracite things. Surely there must be a way to get a dealer to swap 'em out.

But I'm still going with the LBB.

MG is the color for this car. Of all the LBB we have seen to date, not once have I said WOW. Seeing it in this color and I was hit by cupid's arrow. To me the M2 needs a darker color for its proportions. I'm sure LBB is a nice color, but I just don't think it does the M2 any favors.

Even though last week I wanted AW.

Here's why I ordered the (stealthy) MG without hesitation:
