I sometimes drive my car to customer meetings and to the office. Although I love the look of this car I don't think I'd feel comfortable being seen in it by coworkers or clients.

Car looks amazing.

I used to own a 2003 Ford Cobra (SVT) in redfire and I badly wanted to paint the car mystichrome. I think this color would look great on the 2 series.

In fact the only car I will consider red is a Ferrari.
Really? I never considered red to be feminine. Actually rather masculine, depending on the red.

I feel the darker colors, even EB, obscure the lines of the 2er. For this reason I'd prefer Alpine White, Leguna Seca or Yas Marina Blue, Valencia Orange, or Austin Yellow.

Interlagos blue, San Morino Blue, or Audi Estoril Blue crystal.

I'll be very happy with AW though. Sporty BMWs are at home in white.

San Marino is another favorite. My M3 was Interlagos, which I also like. Still, I think I'd go with San Marino if I couldn't get Estoril.

Yeah that's pretty similar. If I decided to not do Nardo I would consider getting as close to TO or purple silk metallic.

I have EB on order, but am partial to Avus Blue though I haven't seen it used since the 95 M3. LeMans Blue is a second choice, or one of the greens just to be different.

How do you cross shop an M2 with a C63S? I'm just curious

Its more of a car ADD thing than anything, not a comparison of the 2 cars. And stems from me wanting a winter/DD and a summer car.

I have an M235i, not convinced that the M2 will be that much better based on current rumors ( at least to justify the likely 10-20 grand differential in costs that i figure trading my 2 in for an M2). I also have the same concern with an m3/4 i know its faster but is it that much faster for my daily use? The interior is exactly the same as the 2 so I'm not really getting much difference there.

Whereas i know the C63S will be very different from the BMW's, has a great sounding V8, 500 HP, very different track ( rumors are showing it to be even wider flares than the old BS), and an incredible looking interior this refresh. Very temping package.

So that would put me at M235i as my DD/Winter and the C63S as my Summer car.

Oh and i know for a fact i will change my mind about this a dozen times before either the M2 or the C63S coupe is announced

I am also looking at a Porsche Macan S, Land Rover LR4, Mustang GT vert, Jaguar F type V6 awd Vert, GLA 45 AMG, RR Sport. To give you an idea of how far my current interests reach. I like cars, and I want them all. Oh yea and i need to get something for the wife at some point to ( hence the convertibles and LR4).

The flavor of the day is just the C63S Coupe, next week it will be chocolate I'm sure.

Im coming close to picking a new color for my car Gloss Green Pearlescent by Avery . I think this may be it.

Black accents on roof, spoiler, rear diffuser, m front splitter and my cheapo sideskirts.

I think with my wheels and some nice white lettering on the tires this will look sick!
