I have to say that the more I see the photos the more I like it. It does need a slight drop. Evident in the last picture.

From that front angle it badly needs a drop and the rear quarter looks like a X4.

I agree. But the stock ride height is pretty close to spot on. M3/4 come with much more wheel gap from factory. Not that it matters.

Look at the VW car next to it, it also looks like crap as it is all distorted.

Resisting the urge to post picture of LBB X6M from the rear.

I think the dimensions look better in person, with real people standing next to it for context.

Wow, the rear end in the New Jersey pic looks so weird... Can't put my finger on it, but there's something I don't like about the M2's ass now after seeing the photo.

I'm still not sold on LBB. Hopefully the media will get their cars sooner then orders open up in the US. They should have plenty of pictures in natural lighting. I've always wanted a loud color BMW. It started with Henna, then Dakar Yellow and Daytona Violet, then Laguna Seca Blue. Now I can finally afford a M car but the one color they offer is just way too metallic and teal. It just doesn't scream in your face...instead it blends in and most people would say "oh neat, you got shiny blue". I am still trying to find a SUV in LBB to see it in person. It seems dealers are scared to order it.

The rear is X4/X6-ish, but I really do like the rest of the car. Drop it a little, add some aero stuff, and I think it's a winner.

Looks like a ventriloquist's dummy's lower jaw and chin that slopes downward unnaturally.

Is it just my eyes or has the turquoise effect been removed from the paint used on these cars? Or muted?
For the most part, the LBB in the pictures actually looks like a true blue.

I think the last pic has a bad angle. Almost looks like X6M

I can tell you for sure that LBB is as "loud" as Daytona Violet and LSB. It's definitely not as unique as Daytona or Dakar of course, but it's definitely worthy as an M2 launch color.

I think my issue is that one of our cars is a sky blue Mazda 3. I don't like the color at all, but my wife does

I don't want the M2 to be like the Mazda...

They make yellow and purple Honda Fits too. Does that mean that I wouldn't buy a purple or yellow M car? Absolutely not.
