Long Beach Blue and Alpine White M2 side-by-side comparison

antzcrashing · 02-25-2016, 03:37 PM

I have seen no photo of the blue that makes it look good. And white looks boring as hell. Bring back the 1M orange

Although my current car is AW, I can't imagine myself getting an AW M2. LBB looks way better to me especially when AW doesn't have any M Performance Parts on it.

Blubaron79 · 02-25-2016, 03:46 PM

Looks like a Scion in AW

BEM-S4 · 02-25-2016, 03:47 PM

I just blue myself! So much better than white. Still think MG would be my choice though.

Looks awesome to me in this pic

If I was buying an M2 for a 16 y.o. girl I would definitely get LBB.

Do all the cars have blue stitching or only the blue ones? Im not sure I like the way that looks with Dakota black leather even tho LBB is my favorite color.

There's a US company that makes quick-release license plate holders.
They screw into the tow hook threading.
So you can put the plate on when you need to park downtown (and avoid those fix-it tickets.)

It's an option so it has nothing to do with the car's color. You can order it either with blue or black stitching.

I actually bought one of these for my 135 and just carry it inside my car (still in the package). If i get pulled over, i show the cop i recently got it in the mail, just haven't installed it yet and away i go with no ticket

On the M2, this is not an option. Only interior choice is black with blue stitching.

In person blue stitching looks great to me. I thought it would be super bright and annoying but it wasn't.

Yeh. I wish they woulda used Merino leather tho. I think its the Dakota Leather more than the stitching that looks off to me. It looks the same as my X1. Hell maybe it is lol.

I'm sure she would love LLB since that's not a color offered for the M2.

4corners · 02-25-2016, 04:25 PM

The white looks great IMO. I hope they don't look a too much like a Storm Trooper car.

Yes, it's an option. When I placed my order last month, there were 2 options for the interior, one with the blue stitching and one with regular/black stitching. I don't remember the option codes but I will post the option codes as well when I get home.

Best color choice by far can you buy me one too?

I guess you could get the Fanboy Package.. Alpine white, DCT, and M striped front grills lol. Too bad they don't offer Sakhir interior cause you cannot really complete it

This is interesting. First I'm hearing of this. Not sure what difference the stitching really makes though.
