DG is stll at the top of my list. I was originally thinking of LBB but the more pictures I see the less I am convinced it is for me. I like blue tones, but that one appears a bit unusual. No options for me either DG and that's about it, especially if 19 inch wheels are standard.

Must agree with Loxxrider
I rate it would suit the nature of the ///M2 much better.
Still very undecided as to colour pallete though

I find the louder ///M colors grow on me in later years. A few examples, Techo Violet and Laguna Seca Blue. I'm still waiting out Yas Marina Blue and Austin Yellow at the moment. That said I actually like LBB from the start, its just not my color of choice. Donington Grey FTW!

I wouldn't mind if Techno Violet was even louder. Mine doesn't look like this unless it's bright out.


Plus I already have a grey one, so I want to go something REALLY loud, so LBB fits the bill. Also a big fan of Austin Yellow. If I had to pick Individual color right now, it would be Fire Orange.

You see the trend here

Not a fan of LBB, saw it at the NYIAS on the X and hated it. Looks like there is going to be alot of DG M2's out there

Dude I love your car. You're going to have a damn awesome stable once the new stallion comes in.

Thanks! I'm not 100% sure if the E36 is staying or not. That's why I'm so desperate for the release of the M2 so that we have more information. That affects whether the car will stay or not. The problem is that no one really makes cars like these anymore so I'm sort of reluctant to sell.

Does anyone else agree that much like certain wheels, certain colors flatter certain cars more than others?

That's why I can't wait to start seeing M2s rolling in. I won't know which color for sure until I see it...but when I do I'll know instantly.

It's a love at first sight type thing

That's a really nice car, thanks for sharing. Would be quite the collection if you could keep all 3!!

I shared this previously in the color palettes thread but thought I should link to it here as well. I like the darker tones LBB shows in lower light situations.

W/// I told you before man, do NOT sell the e36. You will definitely regret it. I have the ///M itch hitting in a hard way. In fact I have an old school itch. e30 or e36 right now. It always comes back.
It would be faaaaar easier to replace an e92 in 5 than an e36, especially in Techno Violet.

Wrt colours, Austin Yellow and Pheonix yellow are at the bottom of my all time colours list. Laguna Seca though. Right up there, Gosh its amazing. If LBB is anywhere close to as good Im all over it like white on rice

I mean hey if you don't know what to do with the TV e36 I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands

If Tanzanite Blue can be ordered I'll go with TB. If not, LBB will be the one.

Soooo, those are some lesser known colors? Perhaps for the French market?

Some usual suspects and an outsider.

OK, the word is out now: the usual suspects are Alpine White, Black Sapphire metallic and Mineral Grey metallic. The outsider is Long Beach Blue metallic.

Hence, Aramis, d'Artagnan, Athos and Porthos.

I think LBB is going to look much better on the much smaller M2.... we've only seen in on the X-men. I still wouldn't buy it because I'd prefer stay a bit more under the radar but I'm really excited to see the M2 wearing it....
