Wonder if EB will still be a 2 series color or if LBB replaces it. It was nice to have at least one color specific to the M2.

As the owner of a MG M2 i'm just wondering in what way darkened rear light are "refreshing". The whole "visual sportiness" is also lost on me.
But, I suppose it you're buying a base model with a really small engine it might be a good way of making up for being an "Incel"... |

Not really that surprising that LBB will now also be available on the regular 2 series.Estoril Blue was also originally an M only color and that color was also eventually available for other regular BMW models.

Are you sure?I didn’t read anything in the press release that said the M2C was now going to be available in Mineral White Metallic.If they do add a new color it should be a great sports car color like Laguna Seca Blue.

Curious to see what those tail lights will look like. Something like this perhaps?

Yeah hilariously the editing in that photo makes it incredibly difficult to tell how it actually looks. With you on reserving judgement til we see it in person

They look very similar to the aftermarket black line taillights that people installed on the 1M.Will probably look good on the Alpine White M2.

"In addition, the exterior colour shade Mineral White metallic can be specified for M Sport cars." Edit: NVM, I seem to be wrong. BMW calls a package a "M Sport" car, like they have the Sports line and Luxury line packages too. So that line refers to M Sports cars... not M sports cars.... confusing.
