Photoshoot: 2023 M2 in Black Sapphire Metallic

M Division · 07-01-2023, 10:08 AM

Second day of ownership and stumbled across a scenic Dam for a quick photoshoot.

It sure turns heads this car!

Great pics! The G87 looks incredible in BSM with the bi-colored wheels.

@M Division - I'm not sure what state you live in (because your profile simply says Earth). LOL But black cars photograph well on cloudy overcast days. You took some excellent photos here!

And a trip to Australias greatest race track Mount Panorama, Bathurst.

It is also a public road with a speed limit of 60km/h which suits me ok as I'm in my break in period - no lap times were broken or lap records set but I can confirm she looks great on track! I can also confirm doing 60km/h around a race track in an M2 is a real test of self control. And a quick stop on M Performance sponsored Forest Elbow for some photos.

If you've never watched a Bathurst race, give it a YouTube. Try the R32 GTR or Peter Brock "05" hot laps.

Thank you and you're right Kevin the conditions were perfect for some pretty dramatic shots of BMWs dramatic new design.

Nice! Lucky. I have done so many laps on Bathurst (virtually of course). My oldest son has done a virtual 24h race on it as well. It is one of my favorite tracks.

Thanks for the great pics. I’ve been looking for some good shots of the BSM with bicolor wheels, since my car is still a couple months away.
