Canada (103 models) and the UK (105 models) have been distant third and fourth locations.
BMW M2 CS Manufacturing Quantity Highlights by Shade and Transmission
With ostensibly solely 4 colours provided, one would possibly anticipate a reasonably even break up with regards to coloration. The information says in any other case. Alpine White is by far the rarest coloration on an F87 M2 CS, with solely 273 examples painted the historic BMW shade. 554 vehicles have been painted Black Sapphire Metallic, which is about even with the 650 models painted Hockenheim Silver. The launch coloration, Misano Blue, was (understandably) the preferred with practically half of F87 M2 CS manufacturing seeing the paint coloration — 903 models.
