Forthcoming BMW M2 Competition gets five colors: which color would you choose ?
Thanks to forum fellow ynguldyn we now know that the M2 Competition will come in five body colors (source): Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic, Long Beach Blue, Sunset Orange (added color) and Hockenheim Silver (added all-new BMW color) (thus no Mineral Grey Metallic available for the M2 Competition).
Furthermore, regarding the black Dakota leather interior (LCNL) a choice can be made between Polar Blue stitching and Orange stitching (maybe Kyalami Orange as on the BMW 1M seats ?), with a further choice between regular leather and perforated leather (source 1 and source 2). Please note that we do not know yet how the metallic color Hockenheim Silver ("Hockenheim Silber Metallic" = BMW paint code C33) will look. However, we do know that a few decades ago Polaris Silver was a metallic color available for, among others, the BMW 3.0 CS. Cool color. So, what color would you choose for an M2 Competition ? Note: for other updates about the M2 Competition, see the dedicated threads here and here.

I'd stick with BSM for a sinister look, but I'm glad to see Sunset Orange as a choice & I think a lot of ppl will go for that and I wouldn't blame them.

Sunset Orange is intriguing but I am a silver guy.

I am going with LBB for the M2 CS this time.I was hoping for Laguna Seca Blue or the new Marina Bay Blue.My current 2016 M2 is Alpine White,so I need a different color for the CS and blue is my favourite color.
What about you Artemis,are you going for Sunset Orange?I know your 1M was Valencia Orange,so are you going back to another Orange color. |

Same here (both my E46 M3 6MT and E46 M3 SMGII were Titanium Silver).
It seems that, for the time being, no other BMW is getting the all-new 'Hockenheim Silver' BMW color (exclusive). If it stays that way till M2 and M2 CS end of production date (2020), an M2 spotted in Hockenheim Silver = tell-tale sign that it's definitely an M2 CS (or a wrap).

If Hockenheim Silver ticks all boxes for me, then I would go for it if I would consider getting an M2 CS. Otherwise, Sunset Orange.

Not crazy about Sunset Orange, but really curious about the silver. I wonder why no MG. Is it generally considered a more conservative color, thus not lining up with target market?

I would pick MG if it were an option. Now, it's either white or silver or custom paint.
Love orange... but that is not the orange i want.

Not great colours compared to when I specced my GT4. Porsche have some fabulous paint options
It's this attention to detail where BMW is failing to deliver |

Perhaps Hockenheim silver will have a grey hue to it.
Bit like Polaris Silver on the BMW 2002 Turbo |

Anyone know how Sunset Orange compares to either Sakhir orange or Valencia orange ?
I had never considered myself an orange fan, until I saw Valencia orange on the 1M (which was pretty special), and I've liked Sakhir orange on the M4 (but not so much on the M3). |
