As we all know, BMW unfortunately did not include the availability to the M2 for the Individual Color program. With only four color options available, I opted for Mineral Grey metallic on my 2018 LCI M2. As I enjoyed the car over my ownership for the last 8 months, I really wanted to do something to make my M2 unique as we all own very similar cars with the limited options.

For those of us on social media such as Instagram, we've seen some pretty cool examples of M2's with colorchanges. For example, @sunsetm2 executed a great shade of yellow, @scherbiinator pulled off a nice aggressive red, and @indstyle took customization to the next level by repainting their "Gelbgrun".

I then took a good amount of time looking into color options in which would suit the M2 well without subtracting from the clean and classy look of the sport coupe. One of my all-time favorite Individual/PTS colors has been Signal Green, as @powerbeast and @Alex@AUTOcouture have exhibited beautifully in the past. I decided to choose Oracal "Police Green" which I had personally never heard of but piqued my interest as an option, especially as the German police use the same green on their vehicles. Since completing the car's color change I have received many compliments and attraction to the car. Enjoy the photos, and thanks for reading!

Nice job!

In the first photo, the green looks much lighter to me, and it isn't nearly as nice as the subsequent photos.

In the later photos, darker green, it looks really great! Nice job, love the carbon spoiler! Is that an M Performance spoiler?

I wanted to capture the different lighting of the car, but also it's hard to see the true color in photos. It's a shade or two darker than signal green. The trunk lip is PSMdynamic V1 trunk spoiler

I’m usually not a big fan of green (as a die-hard Lakers fan) but this looks FANTASTIC! Really love this shade of green as well as the “history” behind the color.

If I may, I disagree with the other poster saying the lighter green doesn’t look as nice. I really like it!

The color matches the m2 beautifully, great choice. Who did your wrap? Anyone in the area by any chance?

I actually did, and the vinyl i ordered was pictured on the darker side, since nobody's done this shade of green yet as it's a newer product i was told. BRG or signal green i love both

I plan on lifting it up about an inch, so far it's faired just fine in the SoCal canyons but driveways are more so the issue

Have you considered painting your calipers black? The dark blue doesn't really flow well with the rest of the car IMO.

Yeah the car was finished just a few days ago and i definitely agree, i want to do something else with them but haven't decided quite yet. Black would work well

Like the colour. Don't care for the 'slammed" look of the suspension which is too low...actually makes it look less aggressive and takes away presence of the fenders/arches.

Your work is awesome!!

I always liked the color of the police vehicles over there.

I'd love to have that color. I just can't bring myself to cover my LBB quite yet.

I'm sure your business will be a success!!

I like it. Is the roof a wrap or CF roof[cant tell from the pics)? Agree on the calipers...blue needs to go. The Gold CCB ones would set this thing off! Think there's a set for sale in the F8x classifieds.
