BMW are making curious color choice...
remember the melbourne red M235i we saw everywhere at the launch...

they are no where to be found... I'd be curious to know what proportion it represents ?

thou, blues are a brand color, just like mercedes silvers, just not out of.place IMO

It s a manual for me. I love some handbrake turns and dropping the clutch to do so.

The M2 sounds pretty beast with the stock exhaust, will be interesting to hear the M Performance, Akrapovic and Eisenmann exhausts that will be released for it.

Another video of an M car...and again...JUST DRIFTING. This is so annoying. Unbelievable. I am really wondering why nobody from the development (driving dynamics) says something against it. M cars are made for precision, not hooniganism. Please leave that up to AMG or JDM cars. URGH!

Does nobody sees the beautfy of a well executed, precise lap in todays times? Am I really the only one out there who is soooo sick of drift videos and reviews?

LBB properly represented in this video?

Do you LBB is properly represented in this video?

I'm very cautious of the BMW release video as I don't think that one portrays it correctly. I think the video has been filtered - there are almost no other vibrant colours besides blue. The trees in the background are darker with less green in it. My fear is that in that video, the green/turquoise of LBB has been toned down.

But in this video, you can see the grass at Anglesey is green looking. That hints to me that colour of LBB is more true in that video.

What do you think?

why is all the M2 promo stuff so synthetic looking in its production and post-processing of photos? It looks like it is glistening with marketing department overkill. Give us some raw footage like they did with the 1M upon launch----gives people a much better idea of what to expect.

Yeah, this is why I can't wait for press reviews... even if the journalistic content is poor, the video/photos will be better.

this videos are crap IMO. The car is drifting and the stupid sound effects makes seems as if the car was still accelerating. Even if the car is halted, one can hear the gears shifting. Unedited film (at least sound wise) is much better. At least for parts of the video.
