I've mentioned this in another thread - GO with LBB!!

I did ED on my F80 in November and saw a couple of M2 "Werkstattwagen" in LBB roaming around the HQ and factory. Unfortunately i wasnt able to take any pics, but it sure looked awesome, such a headturner and exotic color.

We were crossing the street with the factory tour group when I saw the first one, I yelled M2 in excitement several times, and everybody just looked at me like I was nuts.

If you want to blend in, some of the other colors are a good choice. If you want to stand out and turn heads, go with LBB!

Trust me, MG at sunset with a nice Nikon is going to look like a beast.

Best color hands down!! Looks great. Coupe profile with hips like the M3!

Being an M3 owner, I do wish the car had the M mirrors and carbon roof... But I do, quite honestly, love how this car turned out, and the msrp price loaded is a steal for the performance!

MG in direct sunlight and in the shade. Definitely a blueish/purplish tint in some lighting!




It really is a more complicated color than just 'grey' because of the metallic flakes. In certain sunlight, it is definitely a gunmetal grey, but in certain shades it looks quite blue-grey.

If you receive a 'cry for help', you either ignore it or help. We helped by granting at once the express request for removal.

The question was why remove the pic? Is this a secret? Seems bizarre.

Hope they remix LBB while they're at it.

That's because "daylight" is a mixture of sunlight (white) and skylight (blue).
If the sun is directly overhead, daylight is almost white, so there is no color cast.
But from dusk 'till dawn, skylight is mostly bluish.
So there's a bluish color cast to everything.

Here's my take on it. Any car in any colour can look epic in a photo taken in a 20MP camera that has been photoshopped to hell and back.

I'd prefer a car that is going to look great in almost any condition, and with the M2, for me, that's really only AW.

Colors are personal preference

When I had an AW I thought it was the best, but after seeing woman driving white bmws 99% here, it gets old real quick

Just a matter of a short time before somebody will make a CF roof for the M2.

I have to agree. I like the M235. I love the M2.
However, the M3/M4 just looks brutally special.

Looks like a Bulldog. That's the most aggressive OEM offset I think I've seen on an M car.
