I find it annoying that they demo this display car with an individual paint color when individual paint is not available on the M2.
It's like "look at this amazing, beautiful car we can make but you can't have!"

Looks super cool! The Frozen Black is really nice with the contrasting gold.
BUT they could've done without some of the gold detailing such as on the roof and hood and especially on the inner holes of the front seats, that looks tacky. To me some carbon fibers have a kind of brownish tint to it so Black with Gold kind of adds some panache to it. I like the rims. |

OK so what's the best way to render all the new M Performance carbon parts virtually invisible? Yeah by giving it dark grey paint job, so let's do it. Oh and let's put the old pre-LCI headights and taillights to make it look more vintage 😏 Seriously what were they thinking?! Where is the Alpine White unit with all the carbon standing out?

The ///M logo is a little big for my taste on the seats, but they look nice regardless.
Not a fan of all the gold lately...

A few thoughts:
It's smart to show the M Performance parts on a M2 (and not an M2C). It transmits the message that you can refresh the M2 already on your driveway. Love the black calipers. The seats scream showcar, but I wouldn't want them in my M2/M2C if it were my daily driver. Especially when the rear seats would prevent a fold down option. While id definitely spec the gold rims, I would not put any of that gold pin striping on my car. It doesn't look horrendous; I'd just prefer a more minimalist look. However I do understand the goal for the show car. I'd also rather the car be glossy black.
