I just watched that video again… You’ve seriously got me thinking… 🧐
Do it man lol. I think it’s absolutely stunning. Especially when the light hits it at certain angles and you see the hues of purple and blue.

I’ve seen a M240i in that color in the wild and it looked quite good

Im pissed they got rid of the brown interior and offer another version of black....why do all options have to be black ? The M2 has the worst color options.

I would not take misc information as gospel

You’d think they’d keep Cognac

The colors listed in the other thread are confirmed I believe. Having 3 colors for interior and ALL 3 of them being versions of black would be insane to me. Also if they still have white and blue as the only free exterior color options...wow.

Confirmed in the title of a thread does not mean confirmed from BMW

It doesn’t mean BMW won’t add a lighter interior color to replace Cognac

I’ll believe it 💯 when the info comes straight from BMW at their press launch

Yah I'll think about moving over to a 240i. Seems the M2 is an after thought feature / option wise to me. Less color options, no front camera / 360 camera , no ventilated / cooled seats, etc.

But the 240i has more robust feature set and customizable color wise..

G87 has a 360 camera you just need “park assistant” to get the full 360 is my understanding… Maybe someone can confirm that

I have two batteries just in case

I don’t like red or blue brakes with the Purple paint
I do wish I could have gotten black calipers since the red paint on them doesn't match Toronto Red that well.

It does not. Park assistant works with ultrasonic sensors. The M240i is the only two series where you can option 360.

So the park assistant is worthless

Thanks for clarifying

Yep, it's silly. I had it on my G42 for a year and was very disappointed when the M2 showed up with only a rear camera. At a minimum, having a front camera would have been nice. Now I'm "that asshole" impeding traffic trying to back into every spot.

At least it has front parking sensors unlike the Original Gangster M2… 🙃

Backing into a spot is no different than backing out of the spot, either way traffic has to stop. I installed a front camera on my Z06 just in case, but back in 99.99% of the time. Same with my wife's X3MC that does have 360 cameras

I paid the $1300 for 360 camera on my 911 and I have it on my X3MC. It drives me nuts when I get into my wife’s M340 and it doesn’t have it (wasn’t an option because of chip shortage BS).

I prefer backing in as well

If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready

One of the reasons I love driving my son's '03 Jeep Wrangler around is because it doesn't have all of these unnecessary cameras, sensors, etc.
Also why that is the vehicle I let him purchase, so he can learn to actually drive a vehicle & not rely on the vehicle having to tell him every little thing.

Totally agree, but when your 911 bumper is so low, I like to make sure I’m not going to hit it when parking. That and I can make sure I don’t curb a wheel trying to get as close to the curb as possible to prevent door dings.
