Well, I saw this M2 with my own eyes in person and it was pretty damn green, more green than your picture shows here. My phone pictures look wrong (more blue) though or else I would have posted them. The car was also a little dirty on Sunday and you can't tell in the pics so I am sure that is not helping.

I am hoping it just needs a wash and direct light to look more blue.

I don't know what time of day it was but that could have an effect on why they look so green.

I drove that X6M all over Germany, and I think my pictures are quite accurate. Here's another on a different day.

BMW posted an X6M in LBB on their Instagram recently, and it's also quite accurate...

These pics are accurate to the color I know as LBB. Of course each person sees color differently.

Any picture without a baseline to compare it to is pretty useless. Taking pics of the M2 alone gives no perspective. Putting camera and monitor/display settings/differences aside, you need something in the picture with the car for reference. Thats why it looks more teal in these pictures, because you see the EB next to it.

If by modern you mean the 80s are back then yeah. Just not feeling the Long Beach Teal

So apparently the guys in South Carolina got a different batch of LBB paint that isn't very green, but in Leipzig the paint batch was tainted with sauerkraut and so it looks weird on the M2.

Everyone is bickering about shades of blue and I'm over here comparing the front bumpers and feeling like BMW tried too hard on the M2. I want to like this car so so badly.

I'm pretty sure that the last few threads with LBB M2's has swayed me to order mine in LBB. I think I will do some aftermarket comp grey or matte black wheels as well. CCW's? Hmmmm.

Either one looks good. Still need Orange & Red hue color options though.

Make it for example red or orange and we get a different story.



Damn that red looks so awesome. I would be all over this if they offered a red color like Imola (duh) or even Sakhir. Imagine Imola with a black interior and red stitching. WHY only 4 color choices? Curse you anonymous person that decided on these lame colors. Damn you BMW execs for agreeing with him or her.

I am trying very hard to like LBB, but I just cant - its TEAL. Put all the metal flake in it you want, but at the end of the day it's still teal (or turquoise), and something I would have too look at every day in the garage. It feels like I would have to settle for LBB, and I don't think I should have to. I think for this reason (well, in truth several other reasons also) I'm out for an M2. I like the car alot, but white, black and grey don't do anything for me either. I think its F80 time.
