Around my area there is an elusive LBB Comp, which is about the only M2 I see with some regularity. The dude is always going the other way, zooming by on a divided road, or driving through some parking lot across the way. Once he happened to pass me as I was merging onto the road, so I followed him. Dont know if he saw me or not, but he was in no mood to slow down or stop and make pleasantries. He drove like he was trying to escape me. I wasn't going to act childish and zoom through local roads and stalk the dude so I let it be...

You don’t see any other M2C driving around because people do not want to expose their nutsacks in public ��

As a side note, can’t wait till the first big mod (akrapovic exhaust) is shipped to take care of that problem!

EDIT: changed autocorrect typo

I did not get a wave though as I was in my i8. 😀
I've got a black M2C in the area, I'll be on the lookout for ya 😎

I see at least one or two almost every time I go out and I'm mostly just cruising around or running errands in the area. There's also an OG M2 street parked in my neighborhood but I have never seen the owner. I try to avoid going out during commute times but when I have seen even more along with tons of M3 / M4 who all want to make sure I see them.

Mine is not exposed anymore. Has a nice coat of satin black paint.

Anyone else think about adding the M colors to the rear bumper? This is just marked up and not on my car.

I'm not a fan of the Tri color on the rear bumper, but am considering doing it on the front

I have no regrets, lol.

I love that like HS, LBB changes depending on lighting conditions.

In direct sunlight, it's just so pretty to look at.

I've had silver cars a lot in my life, so when I decided on getting a new car, I vowed never to get another "WBS" (White, Black, Silver) car, ever.

In my work parking lot, there's a black 2018 M2, my 2020 M2C in LBB, and a 2020 M2C in silver. One day I managed to catch the other M2C leaving the lot, I just stood in the middle of the lane to stop him😀 we were gonna go do the M track day but COVID19 killed the plan

I have driven mine 150 miles since November of last year

This COVID-19 crap basically killed the summer

I am just now wanting to drive it

Drove from Oakland to Sacto and back today to pick up my 2021 M2C LBB and did not see a single M2C but saw this nicely done e36 M3, the driver caught up beside me and gave me a big thumbs up.

I've just done 45,000 miles in my F80 and it's been rock solid. They are meant to be driven. You won't die happy knowing you left miles in your M engine for the next guy.
