I know..right? It wasn't even on there straight! I think those dealer stickers are an East Coast thing. At one time they used to screw metal dealer IDs into the body. I've never seen that done on the West Coast.

Congrats! I shouldn't be too far behind you. Maybe 3 weeks? When Frank told me the initial buyer backed out, I was tempted to pitch me taking this one early and they could have mine when it arrived. He immediately told me he had a buyer in mind that sounded like they were taking it.

I'm assuming you are the person who had the 1M stage 3? If so, my condolences. No joke. My eyes watered up a bit when I heard the story.
Thanks, congrats to you as well. I'm not the 1m guy I haven't heard that story but now I'm curious. I traded in my f80 to Devon for my current c7 z06 so when I saw they had an m2 comp I contacted my salesman and he said it was sold. Called me back later that night and said the guys wife talked him out of it. I haven't even seen the car yet but its the exact spec I was looking for so not too worried. Hoping to pick up today but we will see. I don't have many pics but I'll share the ones I do have.

At the WEC today and saw the M850i in Sunset Orange. It really did look epic still not convinced it is actually orange but looks good all the same. Almost tempted.

Thankfully I don't carry the burden to decide right now, but I think I'd choose long beach blue.
- alpine white is not metallic
- hockenheim silver looks too boring for such a special car
- kidneys get lost in black+hard to keep it beautiful
- sunset orange is very nice in sunlight but too dull when cloudy.. valencia orange would be perfect type of orange
- long beach blue is special and always bright color.. plus there is no need for upgrading brake calipers just because of blue color not matching car paint..
I think it's a real shame they don't offer some sort of red.. melbourne/flamenco etc.

If anyone has photoshop skills...

AW is arguably BMW's most iconic color... why would it be metallic? lol

Yeah, exactly that's also a problem lol. It is (or was) a free color (at least in Europe) and that's why you see it everywhere on 1ers and 3ers. However when I first saw this color up close I was amazed by purity of it and that it looked great on m2. The arches were pronounced like I couldn't imagine.
Each color has its strong and weak points. At the end of the day it's really a personal choice. But I am pissed at BMW for giving the choice between 12 colors on 218i and 5 colors on M2c. I mean M's are "elite" BMWs. Why limit buyers who pay more??

About metallic - I think metallic colors look better, more premium and I don't doubt they are also a better quality of paint.

SO would be the best color in my opinion if you were to mod heavy by adding carbon fiber lip, side skirts, and an aggressive diffuser ect.

I'm so glad I am the minority. No neutral colors here - too boring. Just look around...like the world needs another gray, black, silver, or white car. Yawn.

The Sunset Orange is really pretty but unfortunately only in direct sunlight. In the shade it looks brown

The AW is a classic and I love it. But on the M2 it hides the beautiful lines of the wide fenders so I ended up with the LBB. I wasn't a fan of the hint of green it has but it's really growing on me.

I got AW because I just love white cars, but I kind of wished that I went SO this time.

LBB for real M2 character. BSM for max aggressiveness. SO if you live in a place where the sun always shines.

I had LBB, but switched to BSM.

...because I don't want my car keyed, or my tires stolen...

I want to be just another dirty black car, incognito.

I applaud you, sir! Life is too short. I was going to wait till January for my week 43 build. But, same thing happened to me... went to a dealer, they had the car, I had zero patience, and I'm now the happiest man on the planet.

It's still only October! I would have had to wait another 4 months!!! You see that news story about the dude who was petting a dog, and it licked him, and next thing you know he's got an infection and had both legs amputated? I got a dog. That could be me! Forget it. Live for today!
