$100k is ridiculous for an M4. It's downright retarded for an M2.

First off I wouldn't pay that much for an M2, but if I was paying that much I would expect BMW to mix me a custom paint color and name it after me.

Of all the BMW colors Austin Yellow is my least favorite, just reminds me of urine. But to each his own, as long as the owner is happy that's what counts.

I think I read about this guy a while ago and I recall he ordered a Rolls-Royce and they named the special color after him.

My question is why. When you have a collection like that, why buy an M2? When are you ever going to walk into your hanger and think "hmmm, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lambo, Bently, Ford GT....Nah, I'll take the M2 today."

Nothing against the M2, but those cars in his collection are on a whole different level. it would be like me deciding to add an 85 Chrysler LeBaron to my garage. Or perhaps a Cadillac Cimmeron. Why????

If Fux was my last name I would have my middle name legally changed to "Givzno." "Rock Givzno Fux"

There are so many great colors that I would love to see on an M2 and Austin Yellow isn't one of them.It doesn't suit the design of the car IMO.

As I said in the original thread posted about this car,the color I would like to see most on an M2 is Laguna Seca Blue.

Looks like he had the brake calipers painted after he had the car delivered to him in the states because the original pic of the car had the regular M2 blue brake calipers.

Because when you're a car lover, you have to own machines that create emotions - not just supercars. And the M2 has that in spades.
