That's probably it tbh.

Exact colors I predicted in the other thread. Now we pray for Individual.

Are you saying there could be more colors or this is it?

Could be more, but that’s all I see right now.

If I do not get individual paint, I will go with either Alpine White or Zandvoort Blue. White with red buckets is temping.

AlpineBoost · 08-30-2022, 02:27 PM

I guess I'll have to go with black or grey if individual isn't offered. Already have Alpine White and picking up a car this weekend that's probably similar to Zandvoort.

You won't regret it! It would be my top pick if individual isn't offered and I didn't already have that combination. So many people that probably don't really care much about cars compliment my AW w/Coral Red and the seats aren't even anything special like the carbon buckets. Besides any of that, for me it's just a classic combo that I never get tired of looking at.

Yeah, i does look amazing. Hard to explain why but it just does.

Word of caution though about black. It is a pain to keep clean. I own a black car and will never do it again. Go with the grey if it is a toss up between that and black.

atl_1M · 08-30-2022, 02:59 PM

Leaning towards Brooklyn gray if the rear lights and diffuser look better in person than the renders and leak. Otherwise may have to consider a third black car lol. I also may just decide to pass altogether and wait for LCI if it doesn't blow me away.

GrannyShiftG80 · 08-30-2022, 03:00 PM

I'm probably going blue then

Yeah, I've owned two black cars and a dark gray car that always appeared clean even when it wasn't. Black cars can turn yellow here pretty quickly come spring, but I'd probably go for it again on the right car because it's worth it to me when it's actually clean. Hoping for individual though so I go with something bright.

These are looking to be extremely boring colors. The G42 wins again here with the very unique Thundernight.

I feel a green would look great (with some gold rims and tan interior perhaps).

Tag · 08-30-2022, 03:37 PM

I can all but confirm the following colors that are offered on the M3/4 will not be available for the M2. I also see no evidence of any frozen color options.

Not available at launch

Sao Paulo Yellow
Portimao Blue Metallic
Isle of Man Green Metallic
Skyscraper Grey Metallic
Dravit Grey Metallic
Tanzanite Blue II Metallic
Aventurin Red Metallic

Seems to be very limited, just like they did with the F87. They will add more for the LCI, but they may also remove some current colors when they do. I don't think individual will be offered from the start, maybe some time later. Not sure if the factory in SLP is even setup for that yet.

SLP came up with Thundernight so I'm sure they have the ability to do individual paint. Guess we'll see!

I’m not surprised that those colors won’t be offered.Nice to see you were able to finally confirm Alpine White.At least they gave the G87 an original blue M color.The M3 and M4 didn’t even get that this time.It will probably be Zandvoort blue for me.

Which BMW color do you think is similar to Zandvoort Blue?

T_U_D · 08-30-2022, 04:34 PM

Boring! Individual better be offered at SOP.

Edit, Here is what I do not get. Why would BMW offer such conservative colors when they usually gear the M2 towards a younger demographic?

No clue, the car we're picking up is a Hyundai in their Performance Blue. Zandvoort could look way different, but I meant similar enough as in both lighter shades of blue.

This is fascinating! Without Individual, I believe I will tap out...

Tag · 08-30-2022, 08:42 PM

Only interior colors I've found are...

Black with blue contrast stitching
Cognac with contrast stitching

Both are Vernasca leather. Haven't come across anything that's Sensatec.

Any color can be converted to "frozen" with Xpel Stealth ppf. I know its not exactly the same but if there's no individual paint option at least for me ppf becomes that much easier to justify.

Haven't confirmed that, but I would assume so.
