That's the problem with this car isn't it.
It looks equally good/bad in all colors, makes it do hard to choose!

Jady Pham · 01-20-2016, 03:24 PM

Can't wait for mine

michaeldorian · 01-20-2016, 03:25 PM

Definitely safest color. Probably my choice. Silverstone would look good too if available.

I`m an early bird, starting the car at 06.30 am was a pleasure, so everybody in the building thanked the Gods when the car was sold......

Here the same with my 135i Coupé and Performance exhaust. At 06.45 am, fun for the neighbourhood. And sorry.., with the M2 life will go on as usual...

My roommate (whose bedroom is above our garage) LOATHES my 6am workouts thanks to my 135 with PE.

I'm typically a huge AW fan however it just doesn't do it for me on the M2.

Recognizable: see this brief clip during the testing in the French Alps last Summer (an M235i followed by an M2):

Sounds so good! The M235i in the video was almost silent in comparison.

AW looks pretty good ... the sound though

WWM3 · 01-20-2016, 04:05 PM

Sounds great.

M3M2R8Racer · 01-20-2016, 04:15 PM

Nice sound, no need for M Performance exhaust in my opinion. Perfectly happy with the color too

Thanks for posting!

hoyasaxa · 01-20-2016, 04:18 PM

Thanks

Powaup · 01-20-2016, 04:30 PM

Sound just like an F8x on phone recordings

EDIT: note about the ride height: the suspension still features shipping blocks (will be removed during prep at the dealer).

Thanks for sharing! AW looks great on this.

Mirrors are ugly

SW19 · 01-20-2016, 05:52 PM

Looks great and the exhaust sounds fantastic.

It's interesting, it seems that only M3/4 owners like how their cars sound.
Everyone else that owns other cars I've had this discussion with seem to despise it?(Stock or not)
