Got pics?

There have been a couple for select buyers with very deep pockets. It's not the norm. Michael Fux's Austin Yellow was the first one.

Having not washed it - as I haven't been using it during lockdown - mine is now a highly individual colour...

My manager and I were talking smack to each other, he said he heard rumors of the 2 series allowing individual color option.
I said I would've done it if I had the chance, of course him knowing how cheap I am says "No way"
I would've happily of done it if I could've gotten it in either british racing green non-metallic, or techno violet.

I think it looks great but seeing how it's a OG, I'm guessing it's a wrap or a respray.

Different but if I went for a respray I would have gone for a color with more pop. As another poster said British racing green would have looked great. Or Ferrari red would be good.

Good to know. So, as the link seems unreliable, I removed it.

Man, that looks good. There is no way I will repaint my M2, but if this was offered from the factory, I'd be in...

This is def not from factory, only individual is that Michael Fux ( No chicks), who has one in Austin yellow. And I'm pretty sure it cost like 20k for him to get it done

That's correct. Only 1 OG M2 worldwide got the Individual treatment: the Austin Yellow M2 of Michael Fux (see here and here).

See the "Special Upholstery" column: that's the Fux M2:
