Am I the only one finding the makeshift fake diffuser to be quite on the bulky side? Hopefully the real car will have better proportions in that respect.

That's the biggest reason

Because white remains THE most popular automotive color WORLDWIDE, regardless of cost.

Haha. So true. Chinese guy here.. admittedly 3 of last 4 cars have been white. 2 alpine white and 1 mineral white. However, as a bit of a paint nazi.. Alpine white is extremely "hard" paint in my experience, and after paint correction holds it very well in terms of resilience.. Full paint correction, ceramic coat and the car can be washed with a water hose and a leaf blower and look brand new.

Dravit Grey M4 is my favorite, but all colors look nice I just have to go with the basic.

The design is indeed an eye-catcher as it is unique but it is not my cup of tea.

Unique? Just looks like an Audi grill split down the middle.

All my BMW's except my very first one have been blue. For some reason I am really liking Sao Paolo Yellow.

Still a bit annoyed they stopped offering Silverstone but it is what it is... I've had BSM, AW and TZB already so the most interesting color for me now is IOMG. I think it could look great with the CF roof and gloss black bits.

I had a red Taurus SHO in 1991 (don't laugh that was hella fast good looking 4 door sedan in 91) and a (not so fast) red Mustang Cobra in 1999. Keep telling myself I'm too old for red cars now but I don't know after seeing that Imola Red. Sweetness! Currently drive AW M3 CS and white Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for my daily. I know white is last on the list for most folks but (for me) it's always a safe bet mixed with lots of carbon, dark interior, and grey wheels. So AW again for me. White cars matter!!

At least it hides most of the huge exhaust can.The low hanging muffler on the M2C looks brutal because it doesn’t have a diffuser large enough to hide it.
