MW F82 ///M4 · 09-09-2021, 12:01 PM

I love this color…

mkizzo · 09-09-2021, 12:09 PM

Yummy

doogdeb · 09-09-2021, 12:26 PM

I pre-ordered mine last month; should get it March 22. I went for Brooklyn Grey though.

Couldn't agree more mate, the car looks amazing as is and will look even better with a few tweaks.

BMW have nailed the new 2

Same here mate, scoring days off already

The most interesting take: he's saying that he didn't like the rear end in pictures, but in person it works.

M3exDeo · 09-09-2021, 12:44 PM

I don't know, I think they could have made the wheel gaps larger

Lady Jane · 09-09-2021, 01:11 PM

Very classy in this color. Wheels however, not so much. Maybe BMW will offer other options.

TX3M · 09-09-2021, 01:38 PM

I'm not digging the two-tone grilles and the large triangles in the front, but otherwise it's very nice.

mckman · 09-09-2021, 01:43 PM

Finally some decent pics.

I don't love all the details, but looks good overall.

TrentMeister · 09-09-2021, 02:19 PM

New m2 may in fact be the best glass slipper bmw of all time here pretty soon

Avaley · 09-09-2021, 03:05 PM

Think the silver trim would look better in black but overall solid.

nicky dj · 09-09-2021, 03:12 PM

That is sick for a non M car! Could only imagine that the M2 will be lovely.

BMW hit it out of the park with this one unlike the F82 which I got banned for chastising.

Funny how social media if you are honest but yet critical you are silenced. Hopefully this is a testimony that honesty prevails!

Well done BMW

Kief · 09-09-2021, 03:26 PM

Love it

But am I man enough to go purple?

Ikester19 · 09-09-2021, 03:45 PM

I'm really digging it. That colour though is a bit too loud for my taste, but is nice. What's with the wheel/fender gaps Bmw? There're huge!

ThugzZ BunnY · 09-09-2021, 03:46 PM

those triangles are the only part i dont really like but at least i done hate them. maybe the m2 will have a different bumper and it will make the car pretty much perfect. very good looking car though.

ShockArrival · 09-09-2021, 03:50 PM

Mad points for the color name alone!
