How does it look in person vs the images?

SW19 · 10-14-2015, 09:38 AM

Lucky you,those are great pics.Long Beach Blue really suits the design of the M2.It must have been tough to not ask them to let you take it for a few laps around the track.

Jzambrano7 · 10-14-2015, 09:51 AM

color looks great in your pics!

new2the3 · 10-14-2015, 09:51 AM

Looks much better in these real life pictures!

Macphisto · 10-14-2015, 09:54 AM

The orange reflector is huge

chmura · 10-14-2015, 09:54 AM

wow, this is the first time I like LBB in the sunlight!

Really hard for me to decide between LBB or AW.

It shouldn't look better in cell phone pics than it does in professional press pics, but it does.

twin fed · 10-14-2015, 10:22 AM

MG for me

Everyone's got Aw, go with LBB

Doctor///M · 10-14-2015, 10:23 AM

Nice!!! Did you take more pics?

RPiM5 · 10-14-2015, 10:25 AM

Looks awesome but those damned non-///M side view mirrors have to go.

Also, they shoulda let you drive it on the track for a few laps.

M3ichael · 10-14-2015, 10:28 AM

Great pics thanks for snapping up some.

Not really that large. Can be color matches so who cares.

desertfox73 · 10-14-2015, 10:33 AM

I think the car is badass, I'm glad BMW is still making things like this. I don't care what mirrors or reflectors it has, or what the seats look like. After seeing so many recently released BMW models that seemed (to me) to really stretch the "ultimate driving machine" mission, this car swings back to the origin.

I'm happy to see "joy of driving" once again be the primary purpose of a car made by BMW.

BTW, someone will make a small fortune on reflector replacement on the rear bumper.

miiipilot · 10-14-2015, 10:34 AM

Are the side vents non-functional?

I was going to say Alpine White, no question. But I have never liked blue cars. Beside maybe Yas Marina. I have always been a black or white car person though. Personally, I don't like the LBB at all.
