India's First BMW M2 LCI In Sao Paulo Yellow Gets Traditional Hindu Welcome
The color yellow is something which does not suit every type of car, especially in a country like India, where people do not prefer such bold colors on their cars. However, yellow suits sports cars and supercars. Recently, a video of India's first BMW M2 LCI in Sao Paulo Yellow color has been shared online. This sports car was seen getting welcomed to the garage of this particular owner with all the Hindu traditions.
First BMW M2 LCI in Sao Paulo Yellow
The video showing the delivery of this BMW M2 LCI has been shared on Instagram by Prabhjot Singh on their page. In this short clip, the owner was seen taking delivery of his all-new BMW M2 LCI at the BMW dealership in Mumbai. What's more special about this M2 is that it is finished in the unique shade of Sao Paulo Yellow.
Currently, there are no other BMW M2 LCIs in this bold yet beautiful-looking sporty yellow color in India. Apart from this, the owner has also opted for gloss black alloy wheels. The entire interior is also finished in black leather and black Alcantara, which provide it a very sporty touch.
As for the video, the owner was first seen breaking a coconut in front of the car and then spraying the coconut water on the engine bay of this sportscar. This is a Hindu tradition which is done at the time of buying and welcoming a new car into the garage. Next up, an idol of Lord Ganesha was seen getting placed on the dashboard of this car.
Apart from this, the vehicle was already decorated with a garland. However, another garland was added to the bonnet of this vehicle before it left the BMW dealership. Following this, the video then shows a convoy of cars belonging to the Mumbai-based businessman Swaranjit Singh Bajaj behind this BMW M2 LCI.
The cars in this convoy included a yellow Audi E-Tron GT, a yellow BMW M4, and a yellow Mahindra Thar Roxx, which is currently the only yellow Roxx in the country. There was also a red Mercedes-Benz G350d finished in the shade of red.

Coming to the BMW M2 LCI seen in the video, it is the latest generation of the M2, which is the most affordable BMW sports car in India.

India's first yellow Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG
Recently, the friend of this BMW M2 LCI’s owner, Swaranjit Singh Bajaj, who is the owner of Punjab Sind Premium Dairy in Mumbai, bought himself the country's factory Sun Yellow-painted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG luxury SUV worth Rs 4.2 crore. He went to the Mercedes-Benz Chakan plant in Pune to take delivery of his car.
Apart from the G-Wagen, he also owns several other yellow cars. These include the previous generation Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, Audi RSQ8, Toyota Fortuner Legender, Range Rover Vogue, Audi E-Tron GT, Bentley Continental GT, and a Mahindra Thar Roxx.
