Just noticed that the M2 has a round gas lid.

Never even noticed that crease line on the rear quarter panel... LBB doesn't help, giving the car so many different shades to adjacent panels.

I have an Estoril Blue II F30. I was afraid I wouldn't like the LBB, especially after going to the dealer and seeing their sample/example square. But if these photos are representative, in that light, then It's an easy switch for me. I hear/read that it does look more turquoisy in the shade.

Sometimes, these design details can't be taken in large context, but analyzed tediously.

The "color changes with light" quality of LBB really makes it look like a clear crease when the flow changes. You will see this line on MG too, that will probably be the second clearest followed by BSM and AW will be the one that hides the line the most. |

yes it does, but it's a press photo designed to look its absolute best. the real life photo looks much more raw and unrefined.....obviously it's a matter of taste but for me it is disconcerting how 'fancy' all the press photos have been as well as the videos-----really tough to actually look at the design.

I think he was trying to be careful not to get photographed. He went into the mall parking lot (which is 1/4 mile from BMWNA) and drove around for a bit because I think he saw me make a u-turn and follow him in. So I parked a little ways away and waited for him to eventually pull into a spot and then while he went into the Apple Store I snapped the photos. I didn't get the feeling that he would have been very talkative.

I was following a M235i earlier and realised one thing. These 2 series (including M2) would benefit so much from a M4 like curved boot lid. Maybe someone aftermarket would produce this.
