Black Sapphire Metallic G87 M2 - First Real World Look 📸

Golddog · 10-14-2022, 06:43 PM

For the 2 days I owned my M240i in BSM, I was a little disappointed in the color because it hid a lot of the lines of the car.

BSM with red brake calipers and the bicolour wheels would look superb.

I've had bsm twice and let me tell you even after ppf the dust that can be seen on top drove me nuts both times. The second go I had falsely convinced myself that itd not be issue for me. That i was moving past all that nonsense. But I couldn't. I cringed everytime I got into the car and only saw dust. Even knowing that in a few short miles I'd California dust it off...

No, I'm happy with what I have right now. But I do think BMW did a great job with the M2.

Looks awesome in BSM 👍🏼Toronto Red is still my favorite though 😋

I'm bummed Portimao Blue or Skyscraper Grey aren't options.

That’s why I usually wrap bsm cars in Xpel Stealth - you see every line.

Looks great! Approx how much do you think that wrap job would cost for the M2? Can it be ceramic coated and kept as clean as a painted car?

I would estimate 6-7k. Yes, they often put Xpel Fusion Plus ceramic coating on top. Very easy to keep clean.

A (tongue-in-cheek) thought just occurred to me: Remember how BMW once claimed that the uber-grilles were necessary for the S58 powerplant to get all its ventilation/cooling? Good times.

Red or bust for this car…

BSM for the win 🥇

What would of been divine with metallic black is some red Merino Leather but I guess at this price tier, Individual option is not worthwhile for them to offer.

I thought the large grill was necessary for the M4 GT3 car with the P58, and that feature of the design then carried over to the street M versions.

Doesn’t need as much cooling with 20hp less. And because it’s so much lighter than the M4.

I don't know many that bought that bs. It was obvious the bumper went right through the middle of the grille and that it was purely a design choice.

Ooo, that would murder the interior 🔥

However, me personally, buckets are too aggressive for me at this point in my life and I don't appreciate that nutt-huggers in the center edge of the seats that "Me Too" on every ingress and egress. In spite of this, they certainly do look the part 👌🏻😗 #ChefsKiss

The standard M Sport seats looks like it would satisfy my every need, it's free and doesn't have a comfort penalty. But to each is own 🥂
