Ha nice.

So M235i. I saw the title and I thought maybe it was the guy with the blue 340i I saw at The Ring yesterday. I noticed the reflector up front, so it must be an overseas spec car. Then I also noticed the M(unchen) export plates.

Just noticed it's equipped with a round filler cap...I like it!

[JamezE36]

Tbh if I was in the market for a M2 I would get it in alpine white and then drive straight to the closest place that vinyl wraps cars.
A purple similar to Technoviolet will suit it nicely

[PhillyNate]

Thank you Seth Rogan for capturing that.

I think it looks great in LBB on these pictures. I have yet to decide what color to get but LBB looks great. The only thing is I think you'll get tired of it after a while. I hated my Melbourne Red F30 after a while because it was so RED. A white, grey or black car might not be eye candy in the same way but you won't get sick of them after a few months either.

The driver looks sort of like this guy from a dorky ECM labeled album I haven't listened to in a while.

[Denk]

Nice catch, looks great! Patiently waiting for the full monty.

[raysspl]

Good gawd, that thing is looking muscular in the wild!

The rear is off the hooks. We knew from the spy shots that the arches will be flared but they were doing a good job at hiding just how wide this car really is.

I've seen an X6 M in LBB over the weekend and it's very different in real life compared to any pictures you can find on the web. I was on the fence before but now I'm leaning a bit more towards it

[Harry Da Hamster]

The rear end is looking a little more proportionate with the wide rear fenders compared to the regular 2 series.

The test driver is Wolf Blizter on his Sundays off.

I like how they still insist on covering up the badges. Who are they trying to fool? They couldn't fool their mother on the foolingest day of their life if they had an electrified fooling machine.

It's not for everybody but it's instantly recognizable as an M-car. BMW does beautiful blue's so won't disappoint.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the long Beach Blue color alone, will make the car instantly recognizable as an M car..... because there are a lot of Valencia orange cars... and there will be many non M LBB cars also, I imagine..

however... overall.. I agree the color will look good either way... bmw doesn't do blue badly often. And even when it's controversial... like Laguna Seca Blue.. Yas Marina Blue... and Long Beach blue... the cars generally still fare well in the used market by people that like those colors.

Herein lies my problem with LBB. It's not something like Valencia, where its exclusive to the M2. That's why I said I would like to know who came up with this idea to use LBB as the M2 launch color. BMW could have chosen from many other colors, but somehow they choose LBB, which is already used for the X5M and X6M, and who knows if any other models in the future.

I don't know about other people, but I may not have been as annoyed if they offered 3 other colors for the M2 that were not so "blah". BSM, AW and MG are easy choices which a lot of people like, but they are not bold, polarizing colors.

you may be trying to make a point that does not exist.. Valencia orange was NOT specific.. or exclusive.. to the 1M...
I don't know if it was a " launch color' for other models.. but the color was on the E84 X1... the Mini Cooper... M135 and 228 etc...

it looks like Austin Yellow.. the M4 launch color... will now be on the M6 Competition...

Valencia was available on all 1-series hatchbacks, so not exclusive at all just like you said. I see a lot of 116d in Valencia Orange daily.

Off topic - How does your keyboards period key look?
I have never seen a person just putting in useless periods in every sentence all the time like you do.

They are free! Not like vowels. You gotta buy those :-)

As far as the keyboard.. Well it still works ..... Yep! And Not much on the key to wear off either ...

[TJS///M3]

I keep using the word "exclusive", when clearly its not. Sorry, my bad. I guess I should be using words like bold, or polarizing, or "vivid".

Ugh. I'll shut up now.

You can always throw in some useless periods for emphasis ....

I swear, if I hear "vivid" again
Just kidding. Hell if you asked me, LBB is literally exactly what you describe it: Bold, polarizing AND vivid.

I'd argue Valencia Orange was nowhere as polarizing as LBB haha.

That LBB is a very flashy, attention grabbing, eye popping color.
The black 437's will look marvelous on it.

I gotta lay low, going with mineral. I need some silver wheels though, first thing on my list.
