Mineral Grey New Photos

I'm not a fan of this colour. I saw it this morning and compared to the LBB and AW i saw in person last week this has nothing on it.

It blends in too much for the type of car it is.

I figured that the only reason people would go for MG from the beginning was to get a "stealth" look, which they will definitely achieve (and have no choice but to achieve) with a gray car.

Like I said before, I'm not a fan of dark colors on small cars. It just doesn't work.

My choice.

Can't do the teal color. Wish EBII or SMB was available.
BSM is beautiful, for about 20mins after a wash
White is awesome, but ruined from the black 437s (looks like steelies)
MG by default.

Still would like to trade a M3/4 owner for silver 437s.

Uhh ohhh I hope the contrary opinion police don't show up and say how wrong that it. Sorry, not sorry.

I'm really happy that my car color choices have never needed to be based on a "default". That sucks.

I agree, however I don't have any other choices and won't be able to see all the colors before I have to choose. I still haven't seen the MG M2 in person, but I love the M3 in MG. I want this car and loved the looks, NOT COLOR, of the M2 I saw in person at the NAIAS this year.

When I first started looking for a car. I traveled to almost every dealer that I could in order to see all colors of the M3. After @6 months I was able to see all of them including some individual colors. MG/SS w/513s or sliver437s is WOW to me.

So extrapolated that to an M2. But I have less choice in that.

I wish there was a melbourne red or titanium silver option.

What would you all choose, within reason (normal BMW 1,2,3 & 4 series colors) if you had the option?

I understand, as long as you are happy.


For me, I'd take Signal Green or Dakar Yellow with black/CF parts. Can I choose those?

Absolutely! I was just trying to limit the responses to the normal colors, but it's Murica so it should be open to all colors. I was just trying to get majority opinions on more common colors. Trying to weed out the $10000 paint options choices. How much for Nasa Space Shuttle White?

But who cares. Post em up. Any color.

Love Dakar. I considered that with my '99 M3.

miipilot, I agree, the MG M2 would look better with the silver rims. Good luck on finding a 3/4 owner to switch.

Mine will be MG. I already ordered the black kidneys but have some reservations adding more carbon performance parts as I worry about the lack of contrast with the MG. Although I already searched for some pictures of a MG M3/M4 with carbon performance parts, I didn't find them so far.

I think MG is a great color and on this car I think it works really well. I really don't like LBB under some lighting conditions and I think with the black wheels, it's a bit cheesy actually. Would you wear black shoes with a medium blue suit? Nope - brown shoes cause black looks weird. Same thing applies here. LBB owners should plastidip their wheels tan. LOL

The grilles ..., I don't know, difficult to judge. And I prefer chrome for the tips.

I don't get the dislike for this color. Looks like the classiest of all the colors but since I'm not a classy guy, think I'm going with a different color.

These endless debates about colour make me laugh. It's not like we are ever going to come to some sort of consensus of what colour is best.
To each his own...geez.

Btw MG and BSM ftw lol
