Every time BMW fires up a brand new model’s configurator, I instantly choose the M Sport Bundle and a black coloration. There’s clearly no field on the M2’s choices record for the previous, so the one factor to do was to tick on Sapphire Black Metallic. It’s one of many 5 colours out there at launch for the G87, along with Brooklyn Gray, Alpine White, Toronto Crimson, and the brand new Zandvoort Blue.
The issue with on-line configurators is that they’re nearly by no means correct in the case of replicating a automobile’s coloration. Fortunately, BMW M has now launched pictures of its newest product and these official pictures reconfirm that black can be my selection for the brand new child on the M block. The shadowy look is enhanced by the black wheels, Shadowline headlights, and carbon fiber roof.
The one splashes of coloration are offered by the 50 years of M anniversary emblems on the entrance and rear in addition to on the wheel heart caps. Talking of which, the 19-inch entrance and 20-inch rear wheels include blue brake calipers, however you possibly can have them in crimson as nicely. Additionally fully darkish, the kidney grille has the three well-known colours subsequent to the M2 brand.
The one different paint I might go for is one other shade of black, particularly the Frozen Black metallic from the Particular person catalog. It appears improbable on nearly every other BMW on the market, particularly on the M3 Touring. In the meanwhile, prospects can’t order the M2 with an Particular person paint, nevertheless it’s a matter of when moderately than if. They’re coming, we simply don’t know precisely when.
In the meantime, Sapphire Black stays the plain selection on your actually. Though the M Efficiency Components aren’t essentially my cup of tea, I might go for the non-compulsory 20-inch entrance and 21-inch rear wheels – the biggest set ever fitted from the manufacturing facility by BMW to its smallest M automobile.
On the finish of the day, by far a very powerful choice is the six-speed handbook. It might be commonplace in the USA, however BMW will cost you an extra €500 at house in Germany for the clutch pedal.
