More Sunset Orange pics

Nice. I reckon the darker wheels work well with this colour. They make the paint look brighter.

The silver ones look mind blowingly good on black. But I've owned 3 black BMWs in my time, one of which was an e30 in "real" black. I'm too old for the stress these days.

The silver ones look super classy on HS. Magic.

I went with 29U. The two-toned wheels on my current car are my least favorite thing about it; I would have preferred either all silver or all black.

Sunset Orange with black wheels and gloss black interior trim.

Yeah, surprised myself by how much I like the look of this car in that colour, looks good, but dead set on Hock Silver for me! Not sure why people would option the gloss black trim, the trim on the door pulls will be trashed after a couple of days!

I think I figured out what I hate about the rear of the car. The muffler is bright and shiny silver and hangs down low enough that your eye catches it instead the black exhaust tips. It would look better with the exhaust tips from the OG M2 I think...

Totally disagree about the tips. I pulled the chrome tips and replaced them with the black slanted. Looked much better imho.

Your M2 doesn't have a giant muffler hanging down though. My point was that the metal of the muffler is what pops when you look at the M2C.

I understand. Adding chrome to already shinny muffler isn't going to make that better. That's why I disagreed.

No worries, I'm painting that can. I live 35mins from IND.

Maybe you won't notice if you're standing instead of squatting while looking at the m2c.

If you never approach your car from the rear in a parking lot then I might agree. It's pretty noticeable, I have seen 2 M2C in person. Is it a crisis, would it stop me from buying one? No, but it's pretty damn low.

hellrotm · 07-26-2018, 01:25 AM

Dramatic much...lol.

Simple get an exhaust. Which is what most do either way. I’ve had exhaust on my last 5 cars, don’t expect that to change anytime soon.

Get use to it, G80 M3 has similar muffler.

Really liking the Sunset Orange/Orange interior combo.

29U black wheels work well with SO.

Notice how much better the SO adaptive headlights look compared to the HS.
