Thank you Davil
My favorite combo shown so far is the HS with black wheels. Do not like the gold wheels on anything. The black wheels look good on everything. I think there is a reason why manufacturers 'black out' everything on sporty/sport cars to make them look sportier, or 'meaner.' ///AVM |

However... I keep looking at this blue combo. I guess I have plenty of time as my build is/was October. I'm going to ponder over the next few months. P.S., I like the BBS gold wheels on the 22B which is one of the most iconic cars ever made. I also like gold wheels on the JPS BMWs on the 80s. They don't look good on this car though. P.P.S., I have owned a car with gold wheels so I am not biased against them. It was an e21 with BBS Mahle wheels. P.P.P.S., I still own a GC8 WRX in WRC blue. But even that has titanium coloured wheels as it isn't a 22B. |

I’m not a huge fan of the black, or the gold wheels either.
Why don’t BMW keep things uniform and have the same CS Matt orbit grey from the M3/4 CS? |

Because they look like wheels with hubcaps that have fallen off. They are neither here nor there. Titanium colour would be a nice alternative for these wheels. But the the glossy black ones work with light. This makes them exist and hence come into existence.

So missing hubcaps and stupid teenagers, not a positive association. And gloss black seems worse than Matt, I don't like gold but it's least offensive between gold and black especially because the gold is very mild. Hardest choice is Missano blue or Hoch silver |

As for color, I vote anything other than HS. The CS is a special car, and by far HS is the most common color for the Comps that I've seen. At the last C&C there were probably 8 M2 Comps, 1 was SO (me), 1 was black, and the other 6 were HS. They all just start to blend together. |

I wish I could get the CS in SO. My personal favorite M2 color. There will certainly be very few Misano M2s around.

Interesting that there is a 480hp M2cs racing on rFactor2. They keep things very realistic. The point to this is that the real CS racing is expected to have chips that unlock tuning capability. The 450hp version is expected later this year. If we are seeing 480hp rFactor2 setup, then this likely exists for the real M2cs racing.

Ehhh, I guess it doesn't matter to me whether I get black or the gold wheels. Only matters which one of the two I don't have to pay extra for. It's gonna get a different set of forged wheels with street tires right away. I'll have the stock wheels with the PS Cup 2 for about a once/twice a year track day so I'll see the stock wheels less on the car anyway. I guess if both colors are a no charge, I'll just flip a coin and that's what I'll get. I'm impartial to either color. I like more of a silver or gunmetal color to my wheels than black or gold.

I have a derision of black wheels for many of the reasons previously mentioned earlier in this thread.
Consequently, I have opted for gold wheels more because of this than my love of the gold. If silver or even light-mid grey had been offered that would have been my preference. |

I wonder what the gold wheels will look like with the standard red calipers instead of the gold calipers. Now that I think of it, if you opted for the CCB, the gold wheels would like fine with gold calipers, but might look weird with the red. Hmmm...

Still bored with no new news, so decided to extrapolate sachsenring times to nurburgring times. Surprisingly, patterns quickly emerge. Using various bmw, Porsche, and a few others it puts the M2 CS at a 7:40.5 to 7:41.5. Right in line with rumors and "about 10s faster than the C". I also believe that the M2C time is artificially low and should put down a 7:49. OG M2 is on point.

The difference is made by the tires, if the CS had the SC2 you can't compare the times. Maybe a OG M2 with SC2 would be faster than a CS with PSS.

There are a number of variables that I didn't share. It was easy to spot the outliers when using different tires between tracks. Other variables that created identifiable differences were power and aero The point is that it was reasonably easy to quantify. You can practically write a formula for cars that fall within various groups to predict times from one track to the other with a couple of seconds. Not to bad. Had I used more data points and plotted results I could do even better. This was just arm chair and calculator.
