I think it's definitely the best stealth color for the M235i, looks amazing IRL. But I'm going with bright colors this time:

I feel like that sentiment can be said about all the colors.

True, I think that MG looks the worst though. But it probably looks the best under ideal circumstances.

Great point here - if you are on the fence at all, secure a test drive prior to finalizing an order. Since the M2 isn't "supposed" to be limited production (), then you might have a chance to drive one at a dealer. That was certainly not the case with the 1M.

White no matter brand is probably the worst looking of them all when it gets dirty it just looks so bad. Its like someone have taken poop and threw it all over the car. Trust me i know i drive an AW and i live in Sweden where there is 180 days of rain, 100 days of snow and 80 days of hoping you might see the sun but you fear how your car is going to look when the sun shines and pierces the clouds

Unless you have a garage in witch case you use your Volvo 850 all year long and those 20 days of pure summer that's when you can use your pretty car

I have a black car right now and for the first 2 or 3 years it looked amazing. Now it only looks amazing for the first 2 weeks after I wash/wax then it turns pretty dull.

I think LBB is the same way as far as looking good in the right light. I despise the teal shade it seems to show in direct light but looks awesome in the darker shade from lower light.

The MG would look bland without having blacked accessories like wheels, grille, spoiler, etc...

AW looks great even when it's dirty as fuck - unbiased humble opinion.

To be honest, I'm not crazy about any of the colors. I think that's why MG is on top of my list right now. It's the most compromising of the bunch. None of the problems that the other colors bring (dirty, dull appearance) but only a small amount missing from the positives (not quite as vibrant).

Interesting choice of license plate number, if it wasn't just a random coincidence.

1066 was the year of the Norman conquest of England. Duke William of Normandy defeated King Harold of England at the Battle of Hastings.

The date? October 14, 1066. And supposedly the M2's online rollout will be on or about October 14 this year. So maybe somebody in the BMW prototype management group is a history buff.

I would give the odds to random coincidence for this one.

I'm running RFT's on 18 wheels and the ride is sometimes unbearable. Can't wait to upgrade to the MPSS.

Are you in the Hoosier Chapter? Indy is my hometown.
Good point. But, I don't think the odds are high that I wouldn't like it. No, I'm not in the BMWCCA. Just never got around to renewing...lazy.
