The car also gets a good deal of attention at Cars & Coffee events (enthusiasts) with comments about the color, how they have never seen one, and how its a manual. My aftermarket wheels have also seemed to draw in more attention now.
Now that is a niiiice picture !!!!

Loving it more and more each mile I drive it.
Glad to see another fellow M2 owner in Oklahoma! I received my car last week so if you see a LBB M2 cruising around OKC than it's probably me. Guess I need to add it to the owner's map so you're not alone.

I've always had either a black or grey car and having the LBB takes some getting used to but I'm loving the color. It hasn't been a week of owning the car but people have been pulling up to me in parking lots complimenting on the car.

i think bold blue cars in general stand out. the only non bmw, mass produced cars i can think of with a bold blue offering is Toyota rav4 and Subaru wrx.

from rando conversations with people asking me about the i8, they tell me they've seen others, but my blue easily grabbed their attention more.

I notice them but have to do a double take. From far away they look like M4 though once they get close, the M2 sounds so much better driving by.

MG really gets lost in the real world IMHO. It looks amazing on showroom or by intself but out in the real world, it just blends in.

Blends in, especially to police officers.

I find this color on the Focus dangerously close to LBB.

If that's sarcasm, perhaps you should have read the entire exchange.

If not, thanks! It has an S55.

I'm trying to annoy LBB owners, well annoy them more, as MG already has an extra 22hp.

This must be the infamous "M2 Competition" without camo, because the "M2 CS" has two doors.

The only thing this car is dangerously close to is an accident. Just look at that front tire inflation. Now if this happens to lose control and slam into a mermaid blue M2 it would be Murmaider murder.
