No question the SO stands out more. I was tempted to get because it reminded me of the 1M. I ended up getting LBB because I was worried I might tire seeing SO more than LBB over time. Both colors are great, so you'll be very happy with either one. It does surprise me how many unsolicited compliments on LBB color.

One thing to remember is color is subjective. If you are bold, or outgoing, SO may be more attractive to you. If you plan on selling the car, SO may be a negative. More generic, subdues or common colors are easier for someone to compromise on. I chose SO, and none of the others were ever a consideration, but I lan on keeping my M2C for a long time, and I’m a bit of an iconoclast.

But I, like you, plan on keeping mine for as long as possible. Even 1.5 yrs into ownership, there's not a single new car out there that offers the same combination of MT, RWD, and usable backseats. |

Most talk about car colors when it comes to bright sunlight. However, at night time, I believe is when SO is at its best. The red tones (hues?) start to really pop out.
SO is a lot more fun than the Sapphire Blue I had on my previous GT4. |

You're breaking my heart a bit here, as I am really liking the color, but have never seen it in real life. I imagined it to be pretty terrible on cloudy days, and fantastic on sunny days, and at sunset, but I know the limitations of camera sensors well, so I'm not sure about that.

Sunset Orange can look Copper Hockenheim Silver can look Gray or White/Blue All of these colors are meant to have different personalities in different light.

Their photographer really needs to work on his white balance. Hard to tell any color with so much blue in places it doesn't belong. |

So I have HS. But if I had to do it all over again, and it's between LBB and SO, it would be SO hands down. Much more of a unique color on the road and it certainly pops very well in the light. Even better with CF accents, which I think looks better than on LBB.

It is far more interesting in the sun than shade but I wouldn't call it ugly. Over the years I've owned many BMWs starting with the silvers, grays, blacks and whites. Lately I have been on a kick to get something different such as the Long Beach Blue X4, a Mediterranean Blue M550i and now the SO M2C. I like the LBB M2C but knew SO would be more unique.

Just try to visit a dealership and see a SO 2 series or X2 that's outside if you can find one and decide if it's for you or not. Pictures may always be misleading. It's not a bad color, though, so I don't think you would end up with major regrets. None of the M2C colors are dealbreakers for me, personally.
