Well, he hasn't seen the M2 in any other color and it is badass and looks great in any color.

This has nothing to do with color but I was slowing down to a stop sign today and a dude on the side of the road was screaming "your car is so sexy, omg it's so sexy!" LOL! Luckily I am already used to that from owning a VO 1M. Haha! Seriously, every day for almost 5 years I had someone say something to me about that car...

In any event... color choice is subjective
Maybe it was the angle of the sun or something. The AW was reflective but the metallic in the MW looked dull. Maybe it was just dirty? IDK.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not some huge AW fan, the M2 just wasn't offered in an orange or red...that would have been mine, mine, mine, mine.

My fiancée isn't used to getting attention in a car, it cracks her up every time we are out doing something and we see someone going out of their way to see the car. I was dropping her off at yoga and an E92 M3 pulled up behind us, revved, then peeled out and did a few runs up and down the block, it was a WTF type of moment for her.

You won't be underwhelmed by it.

I will go see a local M2 car this week with the MPE installed (just to confirm my decision of installing it from day 1!)

A bit droning when cruising at 120-130 km/h in 6th gear. Less drone at the same speed in 5th gear (but more gas guzzling) or at 140 km/h in 6th gear. No balls, no glory.

Aural pleasure. More mature sound than 1M Akra. Not as raspy/screamy as most aftermarket exhausts, which is good - M2 MPE is rather barking like a grumpy bulldog, already at low rpm. Overrun sounds are awesome. And then there is also that peculiar gurgling and burbling each time you release the gas at lower speeds (when the car is in sport or sport+ mode).

No cheap thrill - This car deserves the MPE. You won't regret it.

Great pictures guys, MTHRAR those colour matched reflectors make a huge difference, so glad we don't have to worry about them over here.

Took delivery of my new M2 on Saturday. Speed Shield of Rochester did the XPEL custom wrap on the hood, bumpers, fenders and mirrors. Also did a full polish and application of Bulletproof 2. They drove to Buffalo and did it at the dealer before the car even hit the road. It looks great!
