I like Austin yellow, if I were to have painted the M2 it would have been a unique color and not something offered on other M cars.......that being said would love to see Helrot on an M2

Personally I'm not a big fan of Austin Yellow but I'm a little surprised at the overall reaction based upon many people have chosen AY for the M3 and the reaction hasn't been as negative.

This is probably the same type of guy who owns the Brown and Java 1M, that just sit in a car collection somewhere to never be shown off or looked at.

Nothing against the M2, but those cars in his collection are on a whole different level. it would be like me deciding to add an 85 Chrysler LeBaron to my garage. Or perhaps a Cadillac Cimmeron. Why????

Alike the impressive car collection of the former boss of the Lotus Formula 1 team, there's also a Valencia Orange 1M sitting in his exotics stash garage. Why ? Because the guy likes special stuff. Consider it a hat tip to BMW.

Have you seen his #whatdafux yellow galore 'rider' worth $114K ?

Thanks for the heads-up.

So what do we have here as BMW Individual goodies ?
  • Austin Yellow Metallic: $12,795.00
  • Black Lther w/ Yellow Stitching: $7,060.00
  • Additional Customization: $26,445.00
Interesting to run the VIN through a BMW VIN Decoder to find out what the BMW Individual treatment consisted of: Alpine White M-DCT M2 (IMHO he should have opted for the 6MT) that got a special treatment: exterior, brake calipers and side mirrors painted Austin Yellow, interior bits & pieces and stitching in CF and Atacama Yellow ...and to top it all of: a "specially made for Michael Fux" door sill mention !

...but it got no M Driver's Package (option 7ME), so a V-max of 250 km/h (155mph) instead of 270 km/h (168mph).

So the M2 started out as an Alpine White M2 and then was shipped to another plant,where they painted the car again in AY?Why does the pic from the original thread still show the car with the blue brake calipers,after the car was already painted AY?The pic shows the car with the shipping tape,so it should have been ready for shipping to the US.What does the additional German language info show that you posted from the VIN decoder?

Well, it cost $114k in Malaysia. So $100k is cheap for an M2.
