Thanks for the pics!

What's your opinion on seeing AW M2 in person compared to previous pics posted online?

I think the car looks WAY better in person than in pictures. Online it looks extremely awkward from some angles. It looks like someone took X5 M bumpers and smushed them into my car. In person, it looks wide, aggressive, and the proportions work very well. I look forward to upgrading one day!

I agree. Some photos of the car make it look weird, especially the rear but once you see in person, overall car looks great!

How was AW? Do you think it fits the car in person?

Yes, I love AW on all BMWs and the M2 is no exception

I feel the 1 and 2 series look too much like an egg in white. I am actually going to order an M2 this year and am on my local dealer list for one. I will likely go with Long Beach Blue. I have an Alpine white 435Xi M Sport.
AwesomeM3 and I agreed it would look better in MG or LBB but AW didn't suit it as well as other BMW's.
Glad you liked the pics. I will see if I have any others of the car from other angles.

Unfortunately I wanted to sit in the car but it was locked. All preproduction cars were.

AW looks terrible IMO. Car looks strange in this color.

I've seen LBB in person on the M2...go for it, suits the car really well and looks amazing. If I was getting the M2, that's what I would order.

A big win for variety. Well as much as a 4 color palette allows.

I have not but was hoping to see the color and sit in the car before actually ordering it. I ordered an M4 last year and when I finally sat in it I preferred the seats in the 435 M sport.

Here now, car looks great. Only complaint is that the ride height looks a little off. I'm kind of shocked though as it is getting zero attention from people.

It was a bit bland to me too. I guess after all the hype I was a bit let down when I actually saw it in person in PHL. Hopefully it's just the color.

Can't beat the price and the options that come standard though. Solid option in the class. Not really sure why you'd buy the M235i sitting right next to it at the show for just a few thousand less.

The New Alfa Giulia was the car to see there IMO. Such a tight package. Could be an option for someone who wants something a bit bigger than M2 but smaller than M4. Thing was beautiful!
