Man is that car boring! Honestly they should have put the ///M mirrors(M3/M4 style). Can Bmw slap some dark headlights on that thing. I also think that this car looks way nicer in brighter colors. Those are probably not production wheels if yes .... Overall not impressed rather get a GLA45

....a black car needs dark headlights...black kidney grills..black wheels otherwise it looks like a blinged out Bmw.
The wheels remind me of my old 135 wheels which were perfect on that car but look way too skinny on a bulky car. The thing either needs multispokes or thicker spokes.

That looks right. Muscular ,menacing, agressive.

Well you're lucky because those silver wheels aren't the ones that it comes with. Those aren't even available.

It gets the black 19 inch wheels, same as M3/4.

I really don't get why people call them the 19 inch silver wheels.Both M3 and M4 19 inch wheels are silver with either a black or gray accent color.

No worries

On an other note.. Am I the only one hating the new OEM wheel fad of Polished/Black scheme? They remind me of old school Konig wheels from 15 years ago or something that you would pick up at Canadian Tire or Pep Boys

No, you are not, and I too hate this fad. This is what Chinese rims looked like 5 years ago and now OEM's are doing it. Guess we're in minority...

Add another to the mix. Oddly enough I am planning on putting black/polished wheels on one of my project cars, so I may come across as a bit of a hypocrite...however the project car in question is twenty years old, and they look era-appropriate on the car and aren't styled with a busy thin-spoke design like a lot of these newer wheel styles.

The first cars I recall with OEM polished silver and black paint that really pulled it off were the mkV GTI and GLI. Most others just don't look good parked or in motion, and then "painted" silver wheels look best not polished.

Of the M cars, the M4 in Sakhir Orange with the black 19" wheels looks perfect. Otherwise I am not a big fan of paint and polished finish on the same wheel.

MK6 GTI with the Detroit wheels which were the blacked out version of the Huff.

Why has no one photoshopped these black cars with the standard wheels?

Surely a real world photo of a BSM M2 will pop up eventually. So far it's the only colour we haven't seen a photo of..

I'm a huge fan of white cars but the M2 just looks bad in white and really good in dark colors (black, grey) and pretty good in LBB.

Yes let's keep this thread alive until one shows up, definitely going to the rarest of the lot. I hope I'm the only one in the UK driving one!

There were people all over the photoshop threads taking a stab at colors. I bet if we ask there someone would oblige.
