Well, maybe not my favorite M color, but for sure the best red BMW ever offered. This car would look amazing in IR

In my opinion, silver wheels on black cars looks shit and black on black looks awesome. No I don't have a black on black car, just stating my opinion.

Nobody said it was anything like a fact. Just an opinion. Read my post again - I've BOLDED all the words that clearly indicate this is all just stated exactly as an opinion:

"I agree with others that black wheels on black cars look bad. There needs to be some contrast. In fact, I only like black wheels on white cars (HS would work too, since it's basically a pearl white).
I just put a set of Anthracite Apex wheels on my 135 and that is about as dark as I think works on a black car.
I'm leaning 788 with the machined face (my color choice will be BSM if they don't bring back MGM by the time I buy next year), but 437 is an option too. I haven't seen them live on BSM, but they looked great on MGM.
I LOVE the 763's, but they need to be grey and are only offered in black or gold. Nothing an orbit grey paint job won't cure though..."

What in that post makes it sound like a statement of "fact"?

We too wish BMW would provide a real red and one that isn't metallic too...such as Imola, Electric (Japanrot), Hellrot, whatever, just one of these!

So we're stuck with Sunset Orange. I suppose that mantra of "build it and they will come anyway" worked on us. Sigh.

Here's Imola next to Electric:

raysspl · 05-30-2018, 12:51 PM

Can't wait to see this in US configurator

Like your ZHP, that was a fun car. I had one in black and always wished I had gone with Imola Red.

Those US prices might be up 25% soon

Yup saw that... I would not be amazed that is being pushed through... Time to move to Europe guys

AlpsRider · 05-31-2018, 10:52 AM

I wouldn't put it past him. I doubt that a 25% tariff on car imports would get passed though. Can you imagine what it would do to the economy in Germany/Europe? I think it is more likely a bluff being used as a negotiating tool, but then ya never know...

Juicehead · 05-31-2018, 12:51 PM

"Reports Suggest"

Or in other words, some jackoff reporter most likely fabricated it.

Never going to happen. Other countries will raise tariffs on our goods. A run away train.

..at least I hope not. The world economy would be hit hard.

Lol. I've been binge watching/catching up on the Showtime show, Homeland, recently. So your statement is probably true haha

Well the run away train started this morning! It hasn't overflowed to cars...yet.

IAF · 05-31-2018, 05:50 PM

BMW UK site has now taken off the M2 altogether from the configurator...

Hopefully this means that the M2C configurator will be up tomorrow!

This just after the ordering process going live yesterday across all BMW UK dealers

Well Trump has started with Steel and Aluminium. EU and U.K. are going to retaliate so I guess cars will follow.

He will get a hostile welcome when he comes to the U.K.

Must admit will make me think about buying US made goods in the future

M2 LCI completely removed from swiss configurator this morning. At least something is going on!

M2COMP · 06-02-2018, 08:18 AM

Hi Folks

I'm thinking of getting an M2C. I have Porsche macan turbo with all the goodies which is my daily for last 2 years. I enjoy and have no intention to sell it.

I never owned an M car before. Had F10 550 and E70 before. F10 was good but not really a fun to drive.

So the input I want from the guys who owned M vehicles is #1 Can M2 C be a daily, drive about 40-50 miles a day for work. #2 How much of different fun factor it will have or I will end up having two cars in the roughly same category.

I was actually looking for a S5 or 435 convertibles to add as an additional car but for some reason my mind got stuck at M2C. It's just so crazy.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input.

Do you need rear seats in a non-daily? If not I'd go to the extreme opposite and get a Cayman/911 or Boxster

There will be less overlap and different choices of fun for different occasions.

I thought about it, but I need rear seats, cannot afford 911.
