It's even somewhat local! Auction ends soon though.

EDIT: whoops, it's not a manual. Nevermind.

That got me thinking - I have not seen him here in a while...
And looking at his profile, he has not been here since Dec 1....

So...Theo?
Hey Dan. Sorry about the LONG pause but I just now got back into the site after a 5 month pause. Thanks Clyde!

I agree there are no super fun colors on the current M2, looks like that will be changing for the G series. I also did not want black or white and I am not a fan of LBB either. LBB just has this weird light tinge to it in the direct sunlight that I didn't like. This is all personal preference of course.

That left me with Sunset and Hockenhime. Here the opposite happened. I loved Sunset in the direct sunlight but it looks dirty and uninspiring in the shade.

This left me with HS. My past my car colors tended to be dark choices, except for maybe Interlagos. Mostly dark blues and greens.

I was not happy about being kind of pulled in the direction of HS. I would have picked a nice dark blue or a better orange, JST’s car for sure, in a second if available.

That said it does look very nice in direct sunlight and shade. It has metallic in it so kind of like a diamond white in direct sunlight. In the shade it takes on like a muted grey, think very light Audi Nardo, which is pretty cool.

I think you should stay with LBB if you like it. I don't think you will see many M2C’s with that choice so very unique.

I hope that helps???

Btw I am still super happy with my purchase. No regrets at all and I have been getting into modding it in the last 6 months. That bug has been fun as well and not something I really did to the M5. I say Go for it!!

HS sounds just like my GTI white silver. I like it, definitely better then a standard white or silver. I am sucker for a nice blue though.
