Poll: Which colour?

Didn't see a thread yet on this! If there is, my apologies!

So? Thoughts? I ordered LBB, but am contemplating going with the stealth/all black look!

Off topic... how did you get a -1 rep score on the site? I've never seen that before

That's exactly what I did. My order was for LBB, but then I saw it in person on an X4M and I decided against it. It had way too much green it in for my liking.

So I changed it to BSM

After Kicking around LBB, MG and AW in my head I had to go with Mineral Gray. I felt I would tire of LBB even though I think it is great under some lighting conditions. I had an AW E36 M3 10 years back and loved it, but it was constantly dirty, so MG it is.

Great choice as your car will likely be vary rare among M2.

If I go the M2 route it will be MG as I can just tell people my M235 spent some time in the gym and now has roid rage.

It looks like my rep is up to +1 now haha.

Surprising to see so few people going for BSM. I thought it would have been more popular,

Hopefully that means it will be more unique

The biggest issue here is choosing colours from photos which never accurately depict the true colour. I saw LBB on an X4M and straight away I didn't like it. Mineral Grey looks good in photos, but in real life it is quite a boring and dull colour.

So for me BSM it was!

I think you also need to assess how the colour looks on a specific model in real life. I too saw LBB on a X5M and straight away didn't like it - but I have a feeling that greenish hue will suit the smaller body style of the M2. It's a tough decision because I think BSM will look absolutely beautiful

Agree that I wouldn't go Mineral Grey, although it looks absolutely epic here:

LBBis def the highest risk/reward color option. I'd need to see it on the actual car in person before pulling the trigger, which I'm going to try to do. Could be stunning, could hate it.

Id go with white just because I want to keep it low key. Then MG because it looks badass, LBB 3rd because it is a nice color to me, after owning 3 black cars, I never want another one again.

Cause BSM is an absolute PITA to maintain... I've owned 2 black cars in my life and they are never worth the effort IMO. Ever. Ever.

You can clean a BSM car and it's dirty after the first drive.

Anyone touches the car and you see micro scratches and swirls. It is a LOT of work to keep looking nice (up close anyway). Maybe I'm too OCD with my cars?

I've got MG now it's infinitely easier than black or white to keep looking good.

Great choice. Looks Black at night too.

Black is like having a part time job on the side.
