LBB or MG for my m2...Help!

rcjh34 · 06-17-2016, 11:39 PM

Need help deciding what color to order my new m2 in. I am first on the list for the 2017 M2 at my dealership and put my order down for Mineral Grey, DCT, and executive package. Having second thoughts if I should change color from mineral grey to LBB. Help!

BSM is amaze balls in person!

I have yet to see one in person yet I just know that the majority out there are LBB. I still do not have an allocation yet my SA emailed me yesterday and asked me to tell him what I wanted so he could submit my order. I hope this means I will be getting an allocation soon...

JustChris · 06-18-2016, 03:53 AM

You're first on the list but still spec amending, wow. Dealer allocation must have been down the list a bit.

I feel similar on these colours. Went to see an X6 in LBB. Liked it, the didn't, then liked it. Hmm. Can't decide if it's a tiny bit girly colour.

Only seen MG M2 in the flesh and it looked amazing but I really want to want to M specific. Colour.

First world problems.

I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the 4 colours. The car looks great in all of them.

I've seen LBB, white & BSM. Haven't seen mineral grey on an M2 in person yet.

I feel it more comes down to whether you want to stand out or not. MG is like going incognito where as LBB is quite loud and proud.

If you want to be noticed, LBB is the colour. It looks better on an M2 than X6. I actually didn't like it on an X6.

Roland the HTG · 06-18-2016, 06:26 AM

LBB or BSM. I've seen a MG in person and it just doesn't wow like LBB especially in the sun. Haven't seen a BSM but it looks great in the pics.

Prodigy. · 06-18-2016, 06:45 AM

Everyone's first comment when they see my car is 'wow, i love the colour', i was unsure whether to order LBB or MG, LBB was the right choice.

DrKevM5 · 06-18-2016, 07:06 AM

If you really hate admiration and compliments, go with MG.

Exactly. I have AW and the car doesn't get much attention. It's a "sleeper" color and not a "look at me color". You'll love the car in every color.

Do you wear bedazzled jeans or levi's?

Exactly, only positive reactions, from freaks to non car enthusiasts, teenagers and oldtimers and everyone in between, everybody loves LBB

MG is a tad boring for such a car imho but to each their own off course.
I'd choose BSM without doubt over MG...

Cheers

My issue is that I will be using the m2 as my daily driver so I was thinking LBB is too much for an everyday? I could just be over thinking it...

I have an Estoril Blue daily driver. I feel like it's a bit too much. Have picked MG for my M2.

Benzima · 06-18-2016, 11:37 AM

LBB: M spefific color and more suited for the M2 IMHO.

Macphisto · 06-18-2016, 11:37 AM

My LBB M2 is my only car/daily driver. I have noticed that the majority of cars these days are white, black, gray and silver... boring.

I'm DD my M2 and it will be LBB. I don't think it's too much plus it'll be easier to keep clean

dmboone25 · 06-18-2016, 11:48 AM

MG - it will look better with the CF bits that I am sure you will install later.

I do love the MG color as I think it is a very classy/professional look to it. This will be my first ever BMW so I am kinda new to this..

Nine Lives · 06-18-2016, 12:24 PM

The problem with MG for me is that it's not Audi daytona.So AW it is

Fantastic shot.

I have to choose to firm up my order soon. Today I'm more LBB than MG

Ramos · 06-18-2016, 04:56 PM

I hated LBB on the X6M but it just works on the M2, makes it look fun yet still aggressive!

MG is just plain and boring!
