Man, I love you guys. I've found some kindred spirits here! I was 100% LBB, and then all these amazing photos of HS came out, so clearly I had to switch, and then it occurred to me that orange interior goes better with SO, so another call to my SA, and now some new photos of BSM have surfaced really showing off how aggressive the car looks in black, so I changed my mind again. And, then, finally, my wife reminded me that HS is the color unique to the M2C, that it would be easier to maintain... so I'm full circle back to HS again. Can you imagine those poor saps who walk onto a dealer lot, take 5 minutes to look at a car, and then just buy it? Those people just have no idea how to enjoy life agonizing over stuff like the color!!! |

I don't think so, seems like a lot of people are changing their minds about his color. If everyone was able to see this color in person first, definitely would have different results because in photos you can't tell how much pearl this paint has, too much IMO.

HS is more pearl than metallic in real life. Its not white, it's rather a very light gray with only very subtle metallic hints.
Without much light neither pearl nor metallic is really visible, it then the looks like a primer in light gray (very underwhelming to me). With light/sun its much more pearl (to much pearl for me) and every non bmw enthusiast would say its either a white or a slightly dirty white car. ...BSM here i come!!!

I'm very happy with my decision. Now mind you I was originally considering AW so the fact that this is lighter than most like does not bother me at all. The color is awesome but I can certainly understand why it's turned into such a controversial color. The dark 788Ms are not nearly as bad as the forum would lead on. I actually really liked the wheel in person. Am I happy it's heavy? No. Am I happy it fits the car well and better than I expected? Absolutely. The orange stitching is killer. It was probably the one option I wasn't sure on but I am very glad I went that route with the HS exterior. I thought seeing the car in person would somehow put my mind at easy and I'd sleep like a baby tonight. Rather, the countdown is on now more than it was 2 hours ago. Ahhhhhhh. |

After debating between HS, LBB, or BSM the last few weeks, I'm sticking with HS.
My sales guy (who sells a ton of M cars) saw an HS M2C at the Texas (?) BMW event, and convinced me to stick with HS. His pics helped as well. There was a BSM M2 parked in front of the dealer and it just didn't do it for me after seeing it up close. LBB while nice, is pretty much the defacto color of the OG M2. And since it is an obscure blue, I could tire of it later. HS is the signature color for the M2C, but also the CF diffuser, CF spoiler and dark 788s will really pop. And in the Nevada heat, having something like BSM would be tough. But, on the other hand, the Nevada sunniness will really benefit HS! Only thing I may consider switching now is to the orange interior stitch, instead of blue. |

Sorry for the delay. I obviously had to post these ahead of the buyer taking delivery.
They didn't have the keys available (or lied to me!) so I didn't get a good picture of the orange stitching. Hopefully we get some better pictures from the buyer since they are now on this thread.

Congrats! I shouldn't be too far behind you. Maybe 3 weeks? When Frank told me the initial buyer backed out, I was tempted to pitch me taking this one early and they could have mine when it arrived. He immediately told me he had a buyer in mind that sounded like they were taking it.
I'm assuming you are the person who had the 1M stage 3? If so, my condolences. No joke. My eyes watered up a bit when I heard the story.
