So they’ve been augmenting and investing in San Luis Potosí factory to open it up slowly to more painting possibilities. But yes the teething problems from changing their paint processes.

makes sense. i wonder if that is a deliberate strategy, IE get your basic blocking and tackling in the new factory nailed down, and then extend your capabilities from there. would make sense but i am not in the biz. FWIW my build quality has been fantastic so far, 9k miles ~7 mo, no problems.

Yah my 2023 (our dealership’s HEA car, which means first of the model) has been absolutely perfect since it came in last May. Very happy with the build quality. Anyone that has doubts about the Mexico plant build quality at this point is just making things up.

Twilight purple!

Someone above has been listening to at least some of my dreams. 🙏

I’ve been debating used M3 vs new M2 for the longest because of lacking color options.

Losing cognac makes the purple a bit less appealing as to me that would have been the interior to set it off with.

Not sure how blue stitching precisely matches. The M color accent seats seem forced on first thought. Red seat accents .. don’t think that hits the mark. Hmmm🤔

I would have guessed skyscraper grey if I didn't know better.

nice to see the G87 getting some proper color choices, that green is killer if you don't mind standing out even more then you already will with a M2

I seriously wonder what frozen Voodooblue would look like…

I went to the dealer last night and checked out 2 gloss Portimao cars and I really think frozen is the way to go for Portimao. Just kinda lost its magic with so much reflection. Didn’t help they were all a bit dirty.

iifymbro how does the frozen Portimao behave when it’s got a typical week’s worth of dust and/or post-rain funk on it? Is it any different (better or worse) than a traditional gloss paint?

I'd say it's mostly the same, maybe a touch worse visually. Washes right off if you've got ceramic coat on it though so no biggie. I had a gloss portimao m340i before this and I agree, the frozen is definitely cooler.

Doubt they are going to open up to those (at least I hope not for my sake).

Here’s my loose take on Manhattan Green Metallic. This is all I want.

[reward72]

Java green for me. But I can't get over that the only interior color will be black. Cognac or orange or even oyster would look much better than boring black.

I thought I'd want Voodoo but I don't know. Whenever I see them on the road, ALL you see is bright Voodoo blue and zero body lines. Just this big intense blue blob. Frozen really shows off them hips and lines.

What about FROZEN VOODOO BLUE?? THAT would be something to see.

This is a picture of a M4 in voodoo blue with Matte PPF, looks really good!

The M highlight seats look perfect on ZB, ask me how I know lol. But agreed feels off if wanting to pair to the purple.

Thanks for sharing! Nice colors. I don’t know why their are so few color options for this car. The voodoo blue looks so much better than the previous blue.

[M2 SoCal]

I saw a wrapped Voodoo Blue and it looked so good. Cheaper to wrap than buy a new G87 😎

Very good!!!

I think Frozen Portimao beats it!

[Bumpinjeep]

Always had a thing for purple BMWs (M3s to be exaxt) so if I were to do it again, I'd go with Twighlight. Still, BSM looks so good on this car.

Yeah I am going to go Twilight. Want to be a little different. I love the way it pops in the sun. Also, judging by the comments on this thread I think everyone is going Voodoo so I will be unique. Toyed with the idea of Java Green but don’t have the stones to pull the trigger but it does look crazy (in a good way).

Agreed. Twilight purple, and voodoo blue, would give me something to think about if I was ordering one right now. I would still go with BSM (with black wheels) though since I don't want to stand out in a crowd and the black on black is the look I want. I hope to see some of these new M2 colors in person in the next few months.
