My First BMW
What's up everyone?!
I received my first BMW a week ago. I'm really enjoying it so far except for the amount of petrol I've gone through but hey you don't buy a car like this worrying about how much petrol you're using lol. I think the biggest complaint I have is why does it have duel zone climates but can't sync them. First world problems lol. I'm aware of the rubber band trick. I wasn't sure if I would like Long Beach Blue but it's growing on me. Don't crucify me but I'm not a fan of the Hockenheim Silver :/ I've had an Audi S4 in the past, so it's not my first venture into German vehicles and all the special tools required to do things lol. Anyway, here are some photos of it leaving the dealer and arriving to me. |

Congratulations. No offense taken, all M2s are gorgeous imo. What's the rubber band trick?

More importantly than the color debate, do they make a carbon fiber rubber band for this trick? Would prefer not to add any weight while avoiding clashing interior colors with an ugly brown rubber band....
...oh and congrats on the car! She is gorgeous!

first of all congrats on your LBB. looks fantastic with those wheels.
HS is a beautiful color as it reflects well in varied light. it's very common color now days in the M2C community as AW is almost more rare. putting individual color choices aside and strictly looking at the color and how it impacts body lines and aggressive looks, I would rank my color choices in this order. 1. BSM 2. SOM/LBB 3. AW 4. HS I'm sure many would disagree. that's okay.

That's a nicely spec'd M2C with all the carbon bits and the 763s. Wish I could have ordered those on mine!

I almost regret not getting HS now but it seems almost every M2C is in that color. And the LBB looks great...along with SO...black looks awesome as well. I guess you can't get a bad color on an M2 |

Congrats on the M2C. I got AW on my new X3M but went with the more bold SO for the M2C.
I think the lack of a sync button is simply due to the smaller center area and lack of space. I don't know what other button could be sacrificed. In the end, not a big deal to me. The 5 series for example is wider and has a ton more climate control buttons. Even my X3M has more space for climate buttons. PS: I have gotten 29 MPG (US gallons) on the highway but as low as 6 MPG on track. So your mileage may vary a lot!
