In a first stadium, I had these in mind as a winter set on MG together with some black Kidney grilles:

The M2 has great lines and flares... MG, while stealthy, definitely shows lines!! These are basically unedited shots of my car a day or two after a wash... No HDR or color play!






This!

And this! Love this thread and the MG show.

The look of the M2 has grown on me, and I the video of it in MG is sealing the deal. I'm liking this car more and more...

No need to apologize. We are open minded over here and, alike the majority, we like those girls.

What does that even mean? When driving the car around town, you'd feel as if you were wearing a skirt in public?

Yeah the car doesn't grab your attention with engorged hood bulges/scoops, Transformers-style body panels, or phalic-like front wheel overhangs... People who need such things tend to purchase corvettes, hellcats, mustangs, and camaros.

True, but all the M2 colors vary greatly by lighting conditions. I'd probably get LBB if it always looked the way it does in dark lighting.

Sure, but I personally think that MG looks the best of them all under perfect conditions but the worst under all other conditions.

So not for me!

I think you are right if you are referring to the M235i. Just look at the stock rims. Do they not look like a flower?

Back to Mineral Gray, the color looks exactly like my well oiled sharpening stone that I use to sharpen my secateurs with. In fact they have a blue sharpening tool that looks a bit like LBB when lubed up as well.

The M2 rims are taking a while to get used to. They look the same as the 2016 Accord.

Sometimes it is good to have a "girl's" car. Some girls think it is cute and like it. On the other end seeing a girl in a "man's" car isn't exactly a turn off to me.

The gunmetal versions of BBS CH-R II and BBS CI-R also got my attention, but ain't available yet in 19" size.

@Artemis: I'm not quite sure about this "all in all" grey. I think that those black/silver 437er wheels will be a real good contrasting to MG. With some carbon bits it will finish it off quite well I'm convinced. So my choice for winter wheels will clearly be some black rims, maybe even black matte.
