2020 Sunset Orange M2 Comp

richard in NC · 04-19-2019, 01:13 PM

It's home safe in the garage. Big storms coming this afternoon. Nothing like driving a brand new 405 hp car home in the rain. I obviously took it easy.

Here are some quick lo-res iPhone pics including the taillights

More pics to come in better weather, and a review once I have some seat time.
But it will be awhile since I have to go out of town and not with the new car

PS: Sorry for the sideways pics, I can't seem to fix them.

Congrats! ...and welcome to the SO Club!

I really, really like that color in certain lighting. Other times it tends to look more rust colored and then I'm less enthused.

Congrats! Impatiently waiting for mine in a few months...

At least yours didn't arrive on the first day it snowed...haha

Thanks for the photo..

Confirms my speculation that the darken tail lights are indistinguishable with the regular ones..

Taking Alpine White rather literally there.

Lol alright man, it's kinda impossible to compare in different lightings. Does the SO paint look exactly the same in both pics? Don't think so

CSBM5 · 04-20-2019, 05:34 AM

Congrats, beautiful car!

I remember you from the E39 M5board section from the old days. There are a number of old-time E39 M5er's here now with either an M2 or M2C. I actually just sold my E39 M5 last summer on BaT after owning it over 14 years.

The M2C is now 7 months old and doing fantastic; up to 5200 miles and we've loved it every time either of us drive it. It's technically my wife's car, but I drive it all the time too (we both work from home). Looking forward to O'fest this year since it is nearby and hope to take both it and the M3.

You're going to love the car.

Regards,
Chuck

Side by side with the 2019 lights?

No, truth be told I saw it on a new M340i in traffic but it's the same shade as the M2C.

Also, I'm not alone; every other thread comments on how subtle the change is. They basically just a light shade to the original that hides the inner red of the tail lights.

New blackline taillights for F80 https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1456100
