The US is one of the few markets that get the Individual option Shadow Line as standard on all cars. Over here it is a $400 option on all cars (included in M Sport package).
add Canada to that! We may not have a lot of population, but we are the big white land above the 49th parallel

First few impressions, the rear is wider in person than from photos! The LBB looks more turqoise in person. Unfortunately the car was locked and I couldn't sit inside. However, I tried looking for the 'crooked seat' and from all angles, it appears aligned properly. The dry carbon looks aesthetically more pleasing to me then the CF trim in the M3 that I looked at next to this M2. The only dissatisfaction I have is the black trim around the windows and mirrors. I wish it was matte black.

Overall, I was debating LBB or AW and I'm 100% on AW now. Very glad to have seen the LBB in person though and those who are getting the LBB won't be disappointed.

Also just remembered, the rear fenders have the clear shield on them. I assume they come like that, at least here in Canada.

Don't like the rims either. This car deserves better.

Chrome trim and 18" silver wheels make this car look like a regular Luxury Line 2 series. It's probably the worst LBB picture for me so far.

Are these silver winter wheels the same wheels as the M3/4?

I've seen a X6M LBB and you are correct... #105 and #107 are accurate. I've stopped arguing with people who say it is a light, teal (almost green) color. Yes it is light, yes it is on the "green" end of blue (as opposed to the purple side) BUT it looks like post #107 which isn't "green" in my eyes.

Maybe some people are so sensitive to green at all that that is what they see... anyway, I've stopped debating it because I know what my eyes and agree completely with your take on this.
