M2 at first sight

dealer told me there was one being delivered and asked if I wanted to see it in person. Heck yeah I do!

Couple of first impressions.

1. - that ass! - OK really the rear 3/4 view - the fender flares and rear wheels are just about perfect and slightly obscene (!) The whole stance is just mean and low down nasty. This car has a presence - and something about its side view like its just a sawed off high power weapon! Car was mineral grey which I thought would be boring. Wrong! - there are so many sexy shapes on this car really the color doesnt matter - but the MG did look the business. Naasty.

2. Interior is just fine - seat felt great and size feels just right to me. I cant remember seeing another car with this open weave carbon. It is interesting - not bad - just different.

wasnt going to ask if I could drive it - I wouldnt want someone else to drive mine - and the whole thing lasted 5 minutes - but did confirm that I want one - currently first on the list just await allocation - was set on LBB and probably still will go that route but the MG, and I would guess the BSM, are the bomb. Anyway I think anyone who has seen one knows all this but it was my first time and it made quite an impression!

When I picked up my BSM M2 in July, it was parked next to a MG M4 in front of the dealer. The looks the M2 got..... everyone ignored the M4! Good thing I am not a jealous kind of guy!

You are correct. This car has a presence. It clearly means business in a very refined and nonflashy way. NO doubt about that! . Yeah that ass!!!!!

Personally I think the BSM is the best of the colors. The vehicle lines are definitely augmented by the reflections in the black paint. LBB is very very nice and a very seductive color....but a bit flashy for me. MG would be a second choice.

I finalized my MG choice based on seeing a MG M4 on the showroom floor (with, appropriately, black grills and gills).

It is badass and IMHO the color. I do think, though, they most people are incapable of taking a good picture of the grey color. They always just appear dull and dirty. Of course, most folks are clueless on color balance ...

I literally want to move my M2 into my living room just so I can admire it. Some people think the M2 is ugly, I think it's downright beautiful. Agreed on the 3/4 view - in person it's amazing.

I was just at the PC in SC and there were about 7 LBB and only a couple MG.

I agree with everything you wrote. I am waiting my allocation. Going with LBB. Any of the colors are nice!

Went to buy an m4 comp pack this summer. There was a not-for-sale m2 sitting in the showroom. I made up my mind at first sight!

I see it still has the white plastic protective wrap on the hood & trunk (maybe other places?).

Did you ask to have that left on the car?

I'm going to get mine wrapped with Xpel, ad would like to keep the factory plastic on mine if possible.

No i didn't ask for it that way, I think those were just taken when it first got there. I am going to let them do their usual prep (in all honesty I am not sure the performance center will deliver a non-prepped car) and then I am driving it down the street to get xpel applied before I drive home. Will definitely share some pics next weekend after I take delivery!

Only time someone asked me about mine was at a car show. Got a car wash last weekend and wash dude was matter-of-fact like, "that"s the 4th M2 I've seen here in the past couple of weeks". Surprising, as I haven't seen another one yet myself.
