Also, the car may not sound loud in the video but it sounds great to me. Not too loud, not too quiet, but definitely sounding like it means business!

Wait til you see it in black ! :-)

I am still in the MG camp for the most part and initially I really didn't like LBB. But for some reason LBB is starting to grow on me. I do like the stealthyness of the MG, but the flashy part of me kind of wants LBB. I really need to see one in person. I'm to lazy to drive to NJ to see the one there though, LOL. Hopefully I will see one locally. Pretty sure that MG is still the way to go.

KevinM · 12-03-2015, 01:22 PM

Thanks! MG for me (although I really would like Space Gray...).

The 18" wheels on this car do not look tiny - they actually look really good.
And the 19" wheels look good too. I do not know why there are people who hate the 18" wheels and call them tiny or ugly.

In fact, the whole package comes together in this post. It is an understated but sexy looking car with the 18" winter wheels and the MG paint. I like it very much.

I bet the stock 18" M4 silver wheels would look great too.

AustinYellowMakesMeHard · 12-03-2015, 01:39 PM

I'll have one in MG please, + 513s from the M4 with a slight drop and spacers.

shivaswrath · 12-03-2015, 01:42 PM

Looks like my car I don't like it...the blue is better!

SaMaster14 · 12-03-2015, 01:42 PM

I think MG is the best color for this car! (Unless BMW had gone with Mineral White over Alpine!) the Blue is great as well, but too flashy for me personally... I'm sure a lot of people will love it.

The M2 has great lines and flares... MG, while stealthy, definitely shows lines!! These are basically unedited shots of my car a day or two after a wash... No HDR or color play!

Saphirschwarz · 12-03-2015, 01:44 PM

It would be a hard time choosin between blue and grey ...

Mg for me.

I will even take those wheels over the shitty black ones. Why can't we at least have a choice PUHLEASE. Henry Ford is dead.

I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who likes silver wheels on this car way mo betta than those funky anthracite things. Surely there must be a way to get a dealer to swap 'em out.

But I'm still going with the LBB.

I'm loving the silver and the 18s.

Great shots! I usually don't like tri-color grilles on M cars but they really work on yours. Was that first one taken on Mulholland?

Blue and black and white and dark grey
The ///M from BMW goes driving
And when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "Zwei..."

When she drifts she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "///Mmmm..."

It's all about the specular reflections.
White hides reflections. Darker colors emphasize reflections.
You see the character lines and edges much better on dark cars.

That's what I was hinting at on the previous page, but you said it better.

In fact, these are my favorite pictures of the M2. It looks really tight and compact in these - very un-M4 ish if you know what I mean. It looks really good.

Pol · 12-03-2015, 02:58 PM

The more I see the MG the more I love it. In bright sky there's even a touch of blue in it.

bingo! if I wanted 18s I would definitely go with 513m with spacers and a drop

When I see LBB, I hear the car say: "hi, come play with me!"

When I see MG, I hear the car say: "Tread lightly!"
