Well, apparently a lot of people are buying it because it's cheaper than an M4 and has a better exhaust note than it, also.

So I'll be frank. I went from:

LBB -> MG -> LBB -> AW

HAHA. Needless to say my dealer hates me now!! I have though decided to go with AW 100%. It's the most liveable colour on a day to day basis. LBB is catchy now, but I think in a year it'll be old. MG....lost it for me when I saw one in person to be honest. BSM....love it but not the leg work to maintain it.

You'll also save $550.

Same thought

Oh not awesome

I have the blue stitching in my 135is and love it. I think it also looks good in the M2. (Sorry for the poor quality photo)

Verbiage · 02-25-2016, 06:15 PM

Shit!! It's the exact same seats!!

I have never known this. Doesn't change my decision, but LOL.

Looks like it screws up the intercooler airflow.

No need for any performance parts,Alpine White looks great on the M2.The black 437M wheels also looked way better on the Alpine White M2.

First time hearing someone say they're getting AW and not adding any CF/black parts. That was my original plan but after seeing AW in different conditions on other cars, not liking the flat paint.

Now if they offered MW, my paint choice would of been an easy decision

You think they'd release the CSL so soon?

It Hasn't been very long between the M4 being announced and the M4 GTS coming out has it?

even if it's a full two years and it ships in 2018 I would imagine a concept would come out late this fall or in early 2017 which is only a year away.

ConR · 02-25-2016, 06:51 PM

I'll be honest and I agree that without any CF parts it still looks good in AW.

The only CF parts I'm adding are mirrors, grille (front and side), and rear spoiler. Not bothering with the rear diffuser.

That's for catching that. Nothing worse that slinging some hate with a typo.

Same car, different colors. Take your choice.

DRTMGRT · 02-25-2016, 07:48 PM

This is the only thing that bothers me a little about the m2

it resembles the avenger...

The rear definitely leaves more to be desired. I just think the focus was all on the front "/
