So as we know there are 4 colour options, if you had to get the M2 CS, what colour would you go with? And please tell why.

- Black Sapphire Metallic
- Brooklyn Grey
- Portimao Blue

- Velvet Blue ($3600)

I just wanna see what we are all liking here. ��

Velvet Blue Metallic

Why? Because...



P.S. You should add a poll to this thread.

[Chicago_M2]

As much as I love Black Sapphire Metallic, Velvet Blue Metallic would be my choice for an M2 CS. It’s a color that will help it standout from the Base M2, and it looks so good.

[Elverde]

For a car that I overall feel is a little disappointing, by far the most disappointing part is the color options. I think you have to go Velvet Blue because everything else sucks. But Velvet Blue is pretty lame too. Would have loved to see an orange or yellow on one of these.

[ChipXpert]

All colors should have been bespoke.

I'm not getting the CS, but only Velvet.
You can get a regular car is the other colors.

My ordered M2 is Twilight Purple.

[CallMeCarson]

That spoiler hump on the back is not a good look IMO. Probably the brooklyn grey though.

[raomaps]

Me and my best friend had on order a fully loaded M2, one in Skyscraper and one in Twilight.

After M2 CS launch we both cancelled the M2 and upgraded to the CS, both cars in Brooklyn Grey, with ACC.

I think it looks great in all colors so it is just a matter of preference

[TargaM2]

Velvet blue because its the exclusive colour & it looks great imo.

[BimmerFix]

I still don't understand the reasoning offering 2 blues

They should have skipped Portimao , and instead chosen some shade of White.

Or vice versa and Axed Velvet . & In its place an Orange/Red or Green

Have they provided you any build spec sheet so far for the M2 CS?

getting your CS in any color other than velvet is a major disservice to your future resale whether you drive it or not.

This, because you can get a regular M2 in the other colors.

Exactly what some said when the F87CS came out in Misano and that was proven untrue.

[Mech Spec]

I personally like velvet blue, but it is a weird color.

Nobody is ever gonna say "man I want to buy that M2CS but its Portimao Blue"

They could definitely say that about velvet.

Ok... you are right. we're adults, let's be data driven about it. i used US based cars only on BAT and includes those that did not sell because a high bid is still a buyer's judgement of valuation.

with the F87 you had the added variable of transmission choice beyond color and CCBs. like for like data is difficult due to the wild fluctuations in used values, but the few like for likes i can see certainly support misanos going for a premium:

Similar mile non-CCB 6 speed (bsm vs misano)

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2020-bmw-m2-cs-48/

heres a summary of the data. BSM, to your point, outperforms misano. is that a function of preference, or production? does it matter? either way, at 4, N is still low to prove a trend.




i'll also note that the only one non-misano car has been bid over 100k, vs 4 misano:

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2020-bmw-m2-cs-6/
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-competiton-5/

alright, what about miles?



well that is interesting... misano, at the largest sample size (n=14), has the second lowest average milage. bsm at the smallest sample size (n=4) has both the lowest average mileage as well as the highest average sales price.

conclusions?

• silver fared the worst with the lowest average mileage but the third worst average sale price
• white had the highest average mileage and the lowest average sales price
• misano is the largest sample size, and also the largest amount of six figure sales/bids
• black sample size likely too small to draw definitive conclusions

all in, im standing by my original point. if you want a consistently high sales price with a large pool of potential buyers, get velvet. is there merit in just picking what is likely to be the lowest production? potentially. best thing you can do? not drive the thing.

You actually are wrong.
I would say that.
I would only get the CS in Velvet. Its the only bespoke color, so it's the only color to have if you want a special car.

Like the regular M2. If you want a special car, you order individual colors.

Adding more Brooklyn grey pictures to this topic! So lets see if people change their mind now

[4DRS55]

Does anyone know how many CS dealers will be getting? Also curious if anyone knows when dealers will be getting their allocation for ordering?

I did pay a deposit of 2k non-refundable. Just spoke to guy and he’s like the allocation has to be picked and nothing has started yet until maybe June or July.

totally depends on the dealer. i work with a large M-certified dealer and as of thursday my salesman had *allegedly* already received and sold 2 CS allocations.

Be interesting to see all those stats with cars of <200 miles filtered out. Rule out garage queens and speculators/investments.

I'm not talking about ordering the car, I'm talking about selling it to the 2nd owner.
