I would then take this over an M3 at M3 price tag.
It may put it slightly above the M3 price tag, at that point.

If an LCI model comes with the S55, I'm selling my 997 TT and buying this car. I'm really in love with it.

Does that link work?
Yes it does! I remember seeing your pics some time back. Man, that is a beauty for sure! I like how you added a tiny splash of color to the kidney grills. Very well done!

Just to confirm, the individual leathers (like opal), are not full leather, correct? (I can see in pics, but was just curious if there is anything I am not aware of)

Yup...if I had an M2, a Tesla 3 and an F250 Lariat I'd have everything I could ever need.

Getting a little too aggressive in the front BMW.

Looks very ISF-like.

Yeah, the fangs have been a point of contention when the early pics came out. But in person it is not as pronounced I feel. Or should I say, it just works out...

And I think it's ok for BMW to go towards a more aggressive front fascia akin to true sport cars for their M cars. I always say that BMW M cars should stray somewhat from their luxury lineage and more to a sports car aesthetic. And they did a great job with the F8X series without going Lexus overboard.

But I wouldn't say it's IS-F like.. that's a whole other animal... or alien.

That's the great and not so great thing about the M2. With only 4 color choices, this is easy for me.

With the M3/4, when you throw in Individual paint on top of that, you can literally lose your sanity picking a color

Nothing official BMW announced however, other players such IND, ACS etc will no doubt have them sometime soon.

I second that as well! I was considering rear cf diffuser ONLY as M-Performace cosmetic part. Hoping to get some more aggressive aftermarket winglets later on.
What do you guys think of a LBB M2 with just the rear cf diffuser?

I think it would also need the trunk lid spoiler or maybe mirror caps. IMO, seems odd just to have one CF part on the car, seems out of place.

At minimum two CF parts are required

I think just having the C/F diffuser will still look amazing on the LBB, hopefully BMW or one of the aftermarket companies will soon bring out a C/F front splitter which will complement the diffuser nicely.

I like the concept of a CF front lip but it would not be practical as it will look like a dog chewed on it after a few weeks.
