Under very specific lighting condition (dark), LBB can look somewhat similar to LSB in the dark. But as soon as there is light, they're nothing alike.

Agree.. the metal flake sparkles and shines in the same way that Valencia Orange is way brighter/shinier/reflective than say.. Sedona Red. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 10-16-2015 at 12:07 AM.. |

I have heard there are concerns with the OBD port? My 1M is garaged mostly.. but with Euro plates on.. it's fairly unique looking and gets enough attention I would think that alone is a little bit of a deterrent. Nothing like approaching your car and then people nearby pop out of their cars and ask you questions about it. I can't imagine being a thief walking up to a car like this unless they know what they want and if so they will get it. An M2 (especially in LBB) will attract enough attention that it doesn't really need a body guard. |

And if you still feel unsafe mount a dash in the car a removable one place it in the space between the headrest and the seat and have a wide lens in it and it can film the inside of the car. And on top of that go in to your hand compartment where the most unread book is in the world in the same folder you will probably find stickers with "BMW Alarm system" Mount them on the side of the window to fend of thieves. Even though you might not have the alarm they might back away when they see stickers, So for that reason i have kept my windows side sticker that says "DNA Marked" and also added the "BMW Alarm stickers" and have a dash cam mounted that reacts when someone is in close proximity of the car. If you have chosen the key-less system then you might be in for a surprise wheres at professionals leagues have those "Copying signal code devices" and have those dummy keys witch can be code for any car with key-less system. In that case your only hope is the GPS if you discover its been stolen in time. So in your home keep the car keys far away from your doors if you have key-less system, Cause they might be able to stand outside your door copy the signal of the key and steal the car. So keep keys far away from the doors. If you follow all those steps then it should be next to impossible to steal your car hope this helped a little bit :-) Last edited by Nahlem; 10-16-2015 at 12:42 AM.. |

So on this car i have only manual seats so much faster to get in and out and rather say its quite easy to adjust them so I'm definitely in love with the M2 and i love coupés but sometimes it would be so much easier having a 5 door saloon |

Having a Coupé means adjusting the seat frequently for the passengers to get in/out. On a manual car I can only imagine the nightmare it is to adjust the seat correctly since I can't drive comfortably unless I'm at a very specific distance from the clutch, don't electric seats solve this problem? For an Auto it probably isn't a big deal I guess.
