I have been pretty underwhelmed by BMW's turbo I6 engines connected to manuals in real-world use (though my experience is pretty dated) and I can't help but wonder how the 2er would be with an S62 under the hood. |

BMW doesn’t do special order paint in the factory that makes the 2 series from what I recall. There was one custom order M2 early on where the guy paid something like $20k so BMW could send the shell to a different factory to paint it and then send it back to complete assembly. The car was actually for sale a few months ago at the McLaren dealer in Boston. https://www.bmwblog.com/2020/08/03/m...austin-yellow/

He clearly has people handle it for him. Also doesn't drive the cars.
