Uh...no. It's Grey. Grey. As in overcast skies. As in what you get when you mix Black and White. Wow. How exciting.

The best color, of course, is Sunset Orange Metallic. As in sunny skies, top down, wind through your hair. You get the idea.

Denk · 02-25-2020, 09:26 PM

I miss mine, might pick up another though. Another Mineral Gray and either Oyster or Cognac interior this time. Classy little rocket!

Nope, your opinion is wrong.

Actually, my friend CE750's opinion isn't wrong considering that he did the best he could in the absence of Valencia!

But, as for that wind through the hair stuff.....he is almost as follicle-challenged as yours truly! It's more wind over the scalp!

Goes to show the power of a well funded marketing campaign - or in the case of the BMW 2-series, the lack of any marketing over its life span.

Wait...I think I remember a brochure in the showroom in 2014....

I googled today best sports car under 50k.
Yep 2 series was near the top.
I know it’s a secret where I live most people can’t spell BMW.

And, one can only hope that a question I used to be asked has now faded away...."British Motor Works"?

Unicorn123 · 02-29-2020, 04:20 PM

Couldn't agree more with Autoweek.

As I have said on this forum in the past, we should all be grateful we can get this car, as I expect it is not much of a profit generator for BMW due to its low volume.
