M2 Competition colors may ruin my purchase

MSurge · 05-12-2018, 08:52 AM

Interesting, Hockenheim Silver Sold me on the car!

Spare° · 05-12-2018, 10:22 AM

Still on the fence between Black and Hockenheim. Would have gone for Mineral Grey in a heartbeat, but alas...
Not a dealbreaker, but will be looking into wrapping options once I have the car (San Marino Blue would be nice

).

Not to beat the dead horse, but I'm with you, OP. I wanted MGM.
Sure, they added three new colors not available on the last model, but none of them are colors I would ever want (I like subdued/understated, not "look at me!").
I guess it'll be black, which I normally like, but I feel like black masks the lively contours of this car.

yeah, I still dont know what to do! it even has me to a point where I am talking to 3 Porsche dealerships looking for better colored GT4's. I'm holding off on the GT3 for a while.
I can't do black or the blue (teal). not brown, maybe white? if HS sample doesn't blow me away, I'm gonna wrap it in MG... or pull trigger on Porsche

The newer pics from MSurge did it for me - I am sold on HS and will be getting one.

Wasn't there talks about upgrading the Leipzig plant? Perhaps there will be more colors for 2020 model year? I guess it would be a gamble but i have a good feeling that they are listening and more colors is the logical next step after the hype of the comp dies down. If you want to have the fun asap (as i suspect you do) then i would go for the HS because:

1. it's only available for the m2 and it's an m color.
2. it's light enough and where you can tastefully add your own colorful accents be it a dark color like carbon or even a bright color like blue.

I'm genuinely hoping for more colors for the 2020 MY, because I'm not planning to take delivery until OCT 2019 to coincide with my next trip to Germany. I've always wanted to do an ED and this seems like the right time and car.
Fingers crossed for more colors.

Oct 2020 is when they say they are finished with the M2 so not sure if that will or won't work for you.

disagree. had a 96 sedan and it kicked a$$ on the 95 on track and in autocross.

if a color choice is holding you back then you dont deserve a M2C. pick a pretty color Honda or Cadillac and you will be happy.

Duck Sauce · 05-16-2018, 05:22 AM

Color is arguably the most important decision. You do after all have to drive this thing.

I am disappointed at no MG. Truly the only color I consistently fall in love with besides a couple of individual ones. But I'll take BSM. Don't see many of them around and its a clean palate to work with if I do something crazy like a wrap in the future.

Correction 2020 MY for OCT 2019 ED.

It would be nice to see more colors with the new wheels and Grilles. I think Alpine White will look better than the M2L. LBB looks good on both.

Also thinking BSM, will look very good on this car, but want to see it!!
