I am biased toward the colour having owned a Mineral White car, however IMO it would have been a better option to offer MW as opposed to AW in order to make the lines of the car "pop" more when compared to AW.

Did this a few months back because I want a white one.

I agree about the lighting and the wheels. Imagine the car any other color in those same shots. Garbage.

I just don't think the car is good looking generally. But that's just me. The bumpers are overdone. It looks bubbly. And more like an M235 and an X6M had a baby. Why'd they make he bumpers even fatter than the M3/M4 and give it the vertical rear reflectors like an SAV? Bizarre. :

Your right... looks like a cross between m4 and X6m and shrunken in a vice. Not terrible looking, but not what I would pick. Better off getting a m4/3 and stripping a little weight.

Totally agree. Nice color though, but can't see the depth/recessed lines of the fenders/quarters. But this is just my opinion from a photo.
Can't wait for Detroit. I am hoping I will get to see the car before I need to sign or lose my #1 spot. But based on that MG video...gorgeous!

I will still take those wheels though over the blk437s.

if it had more aggressive fender flare like the 1M or my M3 than it would be a lot better. the flare of M2 is like the M4 which is less aggressive imho

It would be awesome if the person who got the video of the MG could find the AW and BSM and take some pics.

It looks good,but I agree that the white does not highlight how aggressive the fender flares are on the M2,especially in the rear of the car.That is one of the reasons why I like Long Beach Blue so much,it really shows the fender flares.

That is definitely the best looking pic I have seen of the M2 in Alpine White.Even the rear fender flare looks fantastic in that pic.Great picture.

Alpine White is fantastic looking on the M2 in my opinion.

And some in LBB, they do not fit exactly to this thread - I'm sorry.

IMHO LBB does the car the most justice, it makes the car alive.

AW does look a little "flat" to me
MG a little to purple to me
SBM, well I did own 2 Bimmers in SBM


So....LBB...........it must B
