Are you a dealer or something ?

When you say base car you mean none M car ?

So the M2 should get the new wheel even though its not LCI ?

Skyscraper Grey Metallic is so mid.

Those pixelated cosy images always crack me up.

Exactly!!

It is what it is , I will probably buy the car anyway.

Hopefully the 2025 has the new steering wheel.

You know you will hate every minute of it right?

Just a guy who has seen multiple posts by a guy bashing the car on one hand and then says he will end up buying it on the other. That is a recipe for disaster.

Seriously hoping for a Cognac or similar brown interior option. New paints colors seem good. Maybe full Individual paint?

I finally put that guy on permanent “Ignore”

All Joking aside, he posts way too fucking much ❕

I didn’t even think of the C8 Corvette and you are spot on.

Someone locally has an X3M in São Paulo Yellow and it is hideous. “I want my car to look like a highlighter.”

No, I mean base M2 as opposed to an M2 CS or M2 CSL.

I'm only going by the pixelated picture which appears to show the new wheel, but I cannot validate that from the backend. No one knows 100% if this will be LCI or not. My money is that it's not an LCI, we shall see when BMW does an official reveal. I don't expect that to happen in months, but rather in the coming weeks.

I like my women like steering wheels. Flat bottomed. Said no one, ever.

Hopefully some nice PTS colors. Link for the BMW individual.

Don’t get your panties all twisted. It’s just a joke. But hey, I get it. You’re one of those who get angered and scream “toxic masculinity”. Have a nice day 🌈!

I know it was a joke. A bad joke. A lousy joke. A high schooler’s joke.

I’m just curious what you would know about masculinity limp wrist.

loving how a thread on exterior color has deviated to anything but exterior color lol...

Cognac (and its similar iterations) is "classic old school German." Some of us are old enough to remember that; similar color interior with black exterior was extremely popular in the later 1980's M5 cars. My intent when ordering my was to replicate that look. I changed to a 2025 order a few weeks ago due to the confirmed power upgrade and will now have to change interior and exterior colors as I just don't want a black car with a black interior (regardless of red or blue contrasting trim options).

The elimination of cognac from the M2 all about cost cutting on BMW's part, along with them looking to push more people into the more profitable M4 cars (which offer far more interior color choices as I've mentioned). Simple as that.

Everyone has an opinion…no one is right and no one is wrong. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Carbon roof is a huge plus for me and included in my order (pending 2025 allocation and final 2025 ordering information.)

The carbon seats get poor reviews for comfort in the various magazines, though some folks still like them in this kind of car.

In comparison to either, "the 360 camera" seems unworthy of conversation.

Thanks for reiterating what I already stated.

The bottom line is that people like choices, with not everyone favoring black interiors as I also elaborated on in my original reply.
