Agree, some of the best pics of HS. Really like how HS contrast with the carbon spoiler, tint, and black out trim/emblems.

I initially had LLB on order. Ended up seeing a normal M2 in the colour and it put me off the colour!

Ended up saying **** it and went for HS! It’s soo nice in person , by far the best colour. My dealer sent me a video of my car and it looked liked they had washed it! I was about to go mental as it’s being detailed, but the colour hides the dirt very well!

The colour really does look different in lights and pictures. It’s much greyer in person and shiny and matte at the same time! It comes across whiter when you take a video or picture

Very happy with the colour

Finally got her clean yesterday so graced the parking lot with the m2c today. Shortly after this pic I laid some serious tracks down to stamp the parking lot with my signature. Luckily I don't go into the office that often.

Some pictures of Hockenheim Silver in the stock yard with the pre-delivery protective plastics still attached. Great way to compare the car colour to standard white.

Car also has the "black" wheels optioned...

I love that it looks like Porsche chalk.

It’s a very cool color.

Aw man, you may have just cost me another $1500. I have the spoiler on order but not the diffuser. Was it around 1500 installed?

This is in reference to the HSM from Philly (IIRC) with cf spoiler and diffuser.

I know it’s post processed but this does capture some of the elusive gold.

Aside from that, it’s a boring colour. Don’t buy it. Numbers need to be culled. The smurf colour is best.

I see your point My intention wasn't to deceive people into liking HS or anything. Obviously this is an edited pic but the color still changes into different awesome shades silver/gray depending on the lighting.

Your wheels look awesome - do you have a different finish than the stock "black"? Or is that just the angle?

Probably just the angle. It's the stock black

Remember black isn't black, it's a transparent smoked finish.

So any light is still reflected just at a lower level than the clear finish.
