While I personally don’t believe I’ve seen Misano Blue in person, I think it looks killer in all of the photos I’ve seen of it. Mixed with black wheels, red calipers and CF bits, I think it’ll easily be the best color combo.

Personally, I might like those colors as wall paint or wall paper of a toddler's room, but not on my car. Different strokes for different folks.

I noticed that the color was actually metallic, wasn't expecting that from the pictures I had found on the net. |

I saw Misano Blue on an X2 yesterday in traffic.. I have to say, I didn't like it at all. 👎🏻
Best way to describe It is bright 'Smurf' blue and certainly doesn't look exotic, in any stretch, like I had expected. It's definitely an acquired taste and doesn't match the M2/CS profile. Hockenheim silver is the signature color for the M2/M2CS, although I would still stick to BSM because that's my jam... |

I still think that LBB is the M2/M2C signature color.

It's not like BMW is doing something radical here...the formula is pretty well known at this point.

I'm not delusional but It's a limited-production alpha M2, it's the closest to exotic as we're going to get in this model. I would like a more unique color, like what Valencia Orange did for the 1M. That's all. |

Here we go, this section of it covers both our comments. The engine is a masterpiece, though. It’s miles ahead of the S55 engine that powered the F80 M3 and continues to power the M2 Competition. It delivers its ample power with a silky smoothness that the M2 Comp wishes it had. On top of that, it makes a great noise, one that’s significantly improved over the previous S55. But the most impressive part of all of it is the forward thrust it delivers. While the BMW X3 M can be a bit hesitant off the line, I suspect that to be tuning related and intentional. However, once it’s in its very healthy mid-range, it delivers a supercar-like punch that seems almost frightening in something as big and tall as an X3. Gearshifts are also dual-clutch-quick, without being harsh or unrefined. However, leaving in it sport automatic mode is best-suited for the X3 M, as it’s always in the right gear and is never caught flat-footed |
