Mineral grey M2 in winter mode spotted!

Doctor///M · 11-10-2015, 10:02 AM

well that's something! Looks like the same winter wheels I rented last year during ED.

gtaM2 · 11-10-2015, 10:14 AM

interesting how BMW's lack of media on other color M2's has resulting in us seeing a dirty MG in winter mode for its first unveiling to the public, im betting this will not convince anyone to buy MG, the people on the fence for MG will jump off and the people in the MG camp may reconsider

Completely different, that MG in the sun. I chose it and think for real, it will be a good choice.

TunedM2C · 11-10-2015, 10:19 AM

I can now omit this color option from the list. AW is the front runner!

Yeahhhh...no..

twin fed · 11-10-2015, 10:26 AM

What a difference the wheels make. Definitely needs 19's.

Adem1534 · 11-10-2015, 10:31 AM

I'm sure it will look awesome with the actual wheels on it. Minneral Grey is a sweet color, shame people are talking terrible about it because of some photos of a bone stock M2 on winter wheels.

doccyber · 11-10-2015, 10:34 AM

I want to get rid of those "fangs" so much. Otherwise looks good. Great color.

Eagle1oh7 · 11-10-2015, 10:35 AM

Ooh, I bet it'd look better in SGM.

Well, it looks just like it does in real life (to me) so no wheel can save that color.
It is not that the car is dirty and it has the winter setup. To me the color ruins the car. The front end is pretty clean and in the sun but still does nothing for me.

JustChris · 11-10-2015, 10:45 AM

Hmmm well after not being keen on LBB for sometime, have to do a full 180, M2 looks like it really needs an M exclusive colour to me.

We need photoshop m3, m4 wheels on this image to get a true idea. Has someone got skills?

totally agree about the old school flares. prefer the madness of the old flares!!

+1 I'll keep LBB

M235iCA-guy · 11-10-2015, 11:03 AM

Sorry all...Meh, now that there are close up pics of M2, it just doesn't do it for me. The car seems overweight and the fang is just too pronounced. Plus the rear bumper looks like X5M & X6M. I'll stick with my M235i Xdrive and will add Dinan s3 or s4 tunes when it comes out later this year which will boost more power than M2 or go with M3. Just my $.02...

To each their own, but remember, you're comparing a tinted M235i with performance side skirts, splitters, black grill, side stripe, and a front lip, to a dirty bone stock M2 with winter wheels on it. Just keep that in mind.

definitely prefer the old flares however imo i like the whole front on the M2 better

goj · 11-10-2015, 11:16 AM

MG doesn't do the car justice IMO. The other colors are better choices in my mind

G8rGrl · 11-10-2015, 11:18 AM

One of the posters on the German thread said the M2 flares look like a "tumor". Hilarious!

The MG should come with a drone to fly above it and shine a light on it at all times. It is super dull in the shade.

I do agree with this. Man, LBB is a little wild for me, but it definitely is a color fit for M cars.
