It looks great and has me second guessing TR!

Edit, scratch that.

For me, I find it hard to look at with Bi colour wheels.
Will be mean with black wheels.

The bi-color wheels are the only way to go for me. I loathe black wheels. All personal preference.

I agree.Definitely needs the black wheels.Also would look perfect with the black shadowline M mirrors.Are the mirrors just a cap,so you can easily swap them with the black shadowline ones from the M240i?

If I didn't already have an AW F22 m240 then I would be seriously be considering this one. Black rims, tint, carbon fiber mirror caps. Would look mean and clean. But I have to get out of the black/white funk i've been in for over 15 years. I need some color this time. TR or ZB, gonna be a game time decision when I get my allocation.

Yes. CF caps are available as well.

This was my original order - glad I changed to ZB. The white is just too boring. Anyone getting white needs to go Performance Parts or full custom.

AW is classic BMW Motorsport, but at the same time white was a frequently used color for household appliances.

Another video, shot professionally in comparison.

deladude · 03-22-2023, 09:56 AM

The second video is so much better, thanks. As someone planning to go AW I am thoroughly underwhelmed. Seriously considering waiting for more colors at this point . . .

AW is a classic color and usually looks great on M cars, but given BMW’s design choices on this car I don’t think it works. IMO the minimalist design adds to the appliance reaction with AW.

That appears to be several years down the road. Recently posted by BMWBLOG. Furthermore, any additional colors are bound to not arrive until the LCI.

atl_1M · 03-22-2023, 10:18 AM

I’m in the minority but think AW works great on this car and would be my first choice if I had to order today. It works well with the CF roof and also helps mask some of the design flaws.

ARPA · 03-22-2023, 10:23 AM

I think it may be the best color on the M2!! Maybe with a Xpel Stealth satin finish would look sick!!

moodyhank82 · 03-22-2023, 10:24 AM

Well, looks like my AW order might be changing to ZB...

Profile looks like a 230i with the bi-color wheels.

We all know you love murdered out cars.

ScottyK329 · 03-22-2023, 10:46 AM

The mirror caps would look nice in CF to match the roof. However the CF mirror caps are $2300.00 to be installed at port by BMW.

Perfect color for when they go all electric.

Yeah I am pretty torn over what to do. I might play the waiting game and buy a two wheeled toy this year instead. . . For now I'll keep my deposit and make a decisions when the allocation comes through.

Black looks the best.

You can see less of it.
