Not seeing many Black M2's collected

Is it just me or are there not many Black M2's being collected on day 1? Seems like every other color is preferred over the black. I think they all look good although I personally ordered mine in black. Late September delivery in Switzerland ????

Funny you mention it as I've been thinking the same.BSM looks epic in the photos and I'm actually going to see one tomorrow so I can make final adjustments.
My order(July) is white but I can be flexible

Yeah I thought the black looks menacing :-)

If you could upload some more pictures I'd really appreciate it. :-)

I haven't gotten a chance to drive it much. Only 100 miles on it and most of them in traffic! Soon I hope!

I was told once by a very experienced Sales person... very decent man and highly skilled in his craft that "White is nice" but "Black is right" especially a triple black car.

I mean, there's a reason a person's first black car is often their last. Ugg...swirl marks, constantly dirty, shows everything little imperfection.

Never again.

After 4 black cars,it is one of the reasons I want to see it before I make my mind up to see if it outweighs the hassle.
There's no denying,keeping a black car tip-top is high maintenance!

Most of the first M2 deliveries have been LBB,which isn't a surprise and then Alpine White.They will probably be the most popular M2 colors.The Black Sapphire Metallic M2 that i saw at a Toronto dealer looked amazing but I think most people just don't want a black car because it is to hard to keep looking clean.

Weren't the most popular 1M colors,Valencia Orange and Alpine White?
