Kind of a normal cold but I have a bit of shortness of breath (for me). Honestly I'm in my late 30's and in excellent shape so it's not an issue (luckily). Second time now I've gotten it. Glad I got three shots to lessen the blow.

Sorry for the thread jack haha.

they really botched the colours on the new M2. Black is so far easily the best one…which is quite sad since black cars are so boring.

It’s definitely a tomato red IMO

As far as black, it’s literally the only color I like

And I don’t buy Black cars, because I don’t need a part-time job on top of what I already do for a living

Ha! The truth!

At first, I was getting scion TC vibes but when you really compare the two they look completely different. I really love it.

OP here. I might try & see them again next week, no promises. Are there any particular photos you’d like to see if I do?

Can you take close ups of the rear reflectors? I’m curious to know if the body is painted behind the black block they’ve tacked on or if the body is cut around it? It’s a complete eyesore and hoping aftermarket options aren’t limited by how bmw integrated it. Thanks!

Sure, if it shows up. Here are crops of some other pics I took yesterday, but I don’t think you’ll be able to tell.

There is going to be a hole(s) behind due to the wiring for the sensor in the lower part of the block.

I was disgusted by the design when it first leaked, but these pictures look damn good.

The side view is pretty great and I like the boxy look. It is the headlights and taillights that still don't work for me.

Car perfection achieved imo, the blue is

low-poly exterior design choices aside there are so many small things that are so disappointing with this and other new BMWs. The door handles are flappy instead of the pulls. The interior plastics are shiny haptics with zero travel. The god-awful screen instead of a dashboard. Now complete with kickstand. The cheap-looking weirdly geometric plastic design in the door panel.

It’s sort of hard to argue all these choices are cost-cutting. I think they’re legitimate design choices and I am really unhappy about them. X5 LCI interior looks the same
