Look at this! They are everywhere!
Pulled into Lowe's next to my exact car - 2nd time I've seen one in the wild.
Of course the young lad is not of sound mind and still driving on his summer tires...

So many people like this. Then he'll crash and blame BMW for not equipping the car with all-seasons.

Tiny is the right word. #because low production. It's not like there are 30,000 M2 that have been made. For the US it's about 1250 a year. What's the annual sales volume of Porsche boxsters in this country ? http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales...rsche-boxster/ http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales...orsche-cayman/ For every M2 sold there are about 2 boxsters and 3 caymans going out the door. When the cars compare favorably to each other and one is rarer by a percentage of 5 to 1... there is some cachet. |

Exactly, they are a compromise at best, and like most things that try to accomplish multiple tasks, something has to give and they fail or perform mediocre elsewhere. Dedicated something is better than all around nothing.

Not necessarily. Snows are no bueno when the roads are say 40-50 degrees - an all season normally stops much better then. So you end up with a trade off - because you often have the wrong tire on the car at the wrong time when you are going dedicated.

Of course it is better yet to adjust what vehicle you are driving. |

Depends on the tire. Performance snows are fine in that type of weather. Nobody is putting Q rated ice tires on their M2, not that they are made in the correct type of sizing anyway. |

While waiting I perused cars.com often, and kept seeing new 17 m2's for sale at msrp. Kept seeing them week after week and finally I was like 'what the fuck am I waiting for'... I called 6 dealerships advertising them, all over the US, and none were actually available. I got one salesguy at a big dealership in Houston say to me?'those cars aren't available?any car that is ordered by a customer automatically gets listed'.. |

One might look at long range forecast and possibly change to summer wheels. I normally do this by middle Feb. I project and see what comes in the near future for weather in relation to my tire change timing. |

Yeah I just checked on my dealer's site (a big dealer in Houston) and my car is showing up on their inventory. It is supposed to arrive in Galveston at the port on the 6th.
