That is slime TP...nasty stuff. Lol

Chipotle is far better than Taco Bell...except for the naked chicken chalupa (which I haven't seen in a while).

What the hell do they put in Sh!tpotle that always makes you groggy? Doesn't matter what you get, makes you sleepy AF and also need to take a poop. Those two combinations do not complement one another.

Hmmm...never noticed it making me sleepy. Been a while since I have been there.

I will admit, as we have some real good Mexican/Tex-Mex dives aka finds here which we go to far more often so Chipotle is not a regular place.

We're all barbarians, smearing our feces around with dry paper.

If you got mud on your arm, would you just wipe it with a paper towel, or would you run some warm water on it, first?

Bidets are the only civilized solution.

Fun seeing these. I’ve watched plenty of those production line YouTube videos that exist. It’s somewhat of a relaxing watch, lol. Here’s an example: https://youtu.be/e3rZp2dUqzQ

Hope they filmed the G87s and that it’ll appear in future videos. Not really sure why they film in such detail or who it’s originally made for or how it ends up on YouTube but 🤷&zwj;♂️

Edit, Naturally two of those four are ZB. Also note how washed out TR is. That is what it looks like in direct sunlight.

A darker red would have been nice but even here TR looks better to me than ZB. I’m still shocked ZB is the color that BMW seems to be showcasing most M2s with. Oh well. I still haven’t seen it in person fwiw.

My guess is alpine white not just a body in white

Its a frigging Mirka hand sander.

The variance is amazing with TR. Its a superb color given the limited choices available for the new M2. ZB and others are utterly BLAH LOL.

TR is an exciting and flattering color to the shape of the car.

My Thunder Night M240xi is equally interesting in variable lighting.

To each his own. I feel the same way re the G05 that you own, yet the LCI is coming very soon.
