Nothing is wrong with the Conti's, and ///M's have been coming with Conti's alongside the Michelin's since the E46 M3; Pirelli's and Conti's were mounted on the E9X.

That is why it is so expensive and time consuming.

Who ever it is in the US, they are getting one awesome color on their M2!!
I don't believe this for a second.

And I wouldn't want an individual color if that was the process.

It would be more likely that the body in white is shipped to the painters then shipped back to the assembly plant.

I was somewhat joking because of the amount of uproar about not getting MPSS on newly received M2s....

With that said, I would not be happy if I payed 26k for paint and didn't get the better tire option lol

So this is what it looks like if you take the worst M3/4 color and put it on an M2.

Much better!
To each his own, but to my eye, AY is the most hideous color BMW has ever produced.
There's a local M3 with it and I cringe every time I see it.

Idk, to each their own I guess, but AY has to be one of the ugliest looking colours BMW ever introduced. Dude I know has an AY M4 and it's hideous, and this is coming from a huge M4 fan...

Autodip could be a good option!! Saw it at SEMA and they will be able to produce any color code as a sprayable vinyl. Talked to the owner of the only shop in north america that has done it, exclusiv automotiv in quebec city, and any bmw individual color is possible....
