FTFY!


This car just looks sexy to me...




The front and rear bumpers are right, the rear arches are right, the mirrors are right.......everything is just right.

Suppose black disguises that horrific front bumper

everyone has their opinion, to me the 1M doesnt look OEM, looks like an aftermarket body kit was strapped on (to some thats a good thing) the M2 flows better IMO

my order of color:
BSM --> LBB --->MG --->AW

Yeah it does. I think the M2 is the first BMW design that I don't care for, and I'm an avid lover of all things BMW. I also prefer the 1 Series to the 2 Series, so I'm not surprised that I don't care for the M2.

The tail lights are the ugliest part of the 2er IMO, otherwise it would look quite okay (but not great).

And I don't like the fact that you only can have black 19'' wheels, I would much more prefer the silver version. Can't wait to see the first pics of the M2 with the silver 437M wheels.

agree on the taillights

It looks a lot like my 1'er, but with rear fenders on steroids.

Glad it's not just me. Was hugely excited by the m2 (quite sad really eh) and when it came, it's just too fussy. I can ignore it to a degree on the m3/4 but it's just ugly on this.

The comparison with the 1M above sums it up. Cleaner, and without the folds and vents just for the sake of it.

It is all about aerodynamics now sadly but true.

And the designers were different and that in most cases removes cohesiveness.

Exactly, either LBB or AW.
My local dealer have the former on order, can't wait to see it in RL.
Have you ordered one yourself Marc?

[M3 Number 86]

black looks best on every car. just a pita to keep clean.

[Sean@PSI]

Definitely gives off a more elegant vibe

[DrewII]

black does the best job of hiding the ugly lines on the M2.

it looks the most menacing but at the same time classy of all the colors.

pita to keep clean though which is a shame.

I don't name my cars.
The black M2 in the picture , by the license plate, was running around about a year ago as a disguised mule. Mules, as I understand from Scott26, are eventually crushed.
Yorick was a character in a Shakespeare play.
Don't ask me to explain it further because I was drinking at the time I wrote the post

I want the color that makes the car look like a beast from near AND far. Haven't figured out what that color is yet. I'm hoping Monday will be the day.

Looks fantastic in BSM. It hides some of the (in my opinion) ugly features of the car that LBB and AW seem to highlight.

Me too. The whole design screams: Zzzzzzz.

And I wanted a 1M for years...
