50 shades of Hockenheim Silver

Hi guys, I got a test ride with the M2C for a couple of days and I tried to capture the shades of this beautiful color and show them to you. I did my best but the photos do not do justice, this color really deserves to be seen live, the reflections change depending on the light. I was one of those who did not like this color in the photos, then after seeing it live I changed my mind, it would be (maybe it will be ) my choice. I also liked the 788 rims very much, better than in pictures.
How to describe it? It's not like glacial silver, it's not like mineral white, in the pictures it may seem similar to VW silver metallic but it is brighter and with many more nuances, close to Audi Suzuka grey.
For the rest, the car is a significant improvement over the M2 on all fronts (except the sound), undoubtedly the best M car on the market from the times of the 1M.
Special thanks to my BMW dealer for this opportunity
Here's some pics.


















At home in the night

Looks like some paint scratched around the front bumper cover driver's side? Maybe it's just dirt?

Yes it was scratched, it's a test ride car and people don't pay attention. I treated it as if it were mine, but maybe who drove it before me didn't, the car had only 6000 and they have already had to put new tires...

Rear bumper also looks repainted or something.

Still, beautiful car, great pics of HS.
