M2 Miami Blue

Hi everyone.
I’ve put together this M2 for my demonstration-fleet:
Miami Blue
Custom gloss/matte-black wheels with Miami Blue detailing
M Performance Aero accessories
Ideally lowered suspension and spacers would add another element of sportiness, however as a demonstration model the lower suspension would prove to be destructive - way too many speed-bumps out in our neck of the woods for eager test-drives.
Comments welcome!

I like the wheel treatment.

Well, you can at least get spacers to fill out the wheel wells. Very interesting color. I think with a suspension drop, it will totally transform the way the car looks. But then again, I understand that you want the car to be intact for test drives. Someone should photoshop it lowered so we can see what it looks like.

EDIT: Okay, I faxed Bill Gates and asked him to do Microsofts version of Photoshop, MS Paint and he listened to me and this is what he edited.
It was very expensive, please send me BMW Bucks.

Looks like the wheels may be rubbing a bit.

The color is great on an M2.

c1pher · 08-25-2023, 01:21 PM

Why not use a BMW color similar to Miami Blue (Porsche)?

Is that a statement? Because there's a question mark at the end - I'm not sure.

It’s a question. Obviously there’s no rule or anything but curious why you didn’t select a similar BMW color like Laguna Seca Blue instead of a Porsche color.

Porsches color palette is unbeatable. Even bmw knows this with the offering of signal green.

car looks great! nice work men

LSB can’t be selected it’s currently listed as “expired” the last time it could be requested was around the time of the Heritage m4s so for 2020 we saw a few examples of M550i and F90s because it was in production for the Heritages it could have been applied for other models. Same thing with Hockenheim we’ve seen it on F90/97 and one f83

Larslemans · 08-29-2023, 09:59 AM

Nice colour. Owning the M2 Competition the new shape has to grow on me and it kinda does ever so slowly

MT6 · 08-29-2023, 10:01 AM

Ultimate M2 build I like it

yeah, always been a mystery to me that Porsche paint selections are consistently superior to BMW, and not just the flamboyant colors: here’s Petrol Blue from over 40 years ago for example:

Habber · 08-29-2023, 10:42 AM

Looks amazing. I wouldn’t change anything.

Well done!

Ezmolaw · 08-29-2023, 10:51 AM

MB makes the car look so much better!

Ravenseal · 08-29-2023, 11:03 AM

I’m confused. Is this a wrap or did you spend $25,000 on paint?

NotSharocks · 08-29-2023, 11:13 AM

This car should have been offered in Mexico Blue.

Missed opportunities to the 9th degree holy hell BMW.

No Me Gusta.

We've applied peelable-paint at our in-house bodyshop. The finish is superb - to a lay-person, it's factory paint.
