Order-to-delivery times have been significantly reduced. At my dealer it now only takes approximatey three to four months. No more bottle-necks as in 2016. Demand isn't as strong anymore, according to my dealer. Save yourself the frustration of getting the very last MY2017. You will very likely still get your MY2018 this year if you re-order now. No thanks needed for this piece or advice. If they tell you that you may wait for another year, feel free to reply that you'll prove them wrong. MY 2018 (M2 LCI) production starts this July. Better resale value too. What a difference a month makes...

did you already place an order for the LCI in Belgium? According to my dealer this wasn't possible yet so I went for the current model expecting production June. Cheers |

Just as information, I talked with my SA on Friday and he told me I will get the LCI model. I don't have a delivery date yet, but should have one in the next four weeks... that's what I was told. Also, no change in price was agreed.

If you mean that your dealer cannot give you yet a production date after, say, July 2017: that's possible.

I just took delivery of my 2017 LBB M2, decked out in performance exhaust and other carbon fiber bits. It's absolutely amazing!! Just get the car, drive it, enjoy it. At the end of the day it will make absolutely no difference to you on a day to day basis.

I decided to go with the ZCP M3 instead.

If you are one of those who get really sad and depressed because you didn't get the new up to date product, then it's better to skip this generation and wait for 2022.
I don't mind waiting till July-august when a possible new production starts, by that time we will get better information about the Minor upgrades. Here i can decide to buy NOW or wait till November (if i were lucky on 1st order list) . |

I did.
Love the car - seriously love it...it's the nicest thing I have ever owned. The sound and handling are 11s on a 10 point scale. But it was also my DD...so not very comfortable for long periods of simple highway driving or commuting (fixed suspension, no PASM). I haven't ever tracked it either, which is something that would have made having it as my DD more "worth it" if that makes sense. I also finally did what you told me NOT to do...drove the F80 ZCP for an extended period of time and then got back in the 981...the car simply needs more power. It is a lot of fun for sure, the F6 is a screaming animal...and I don't regret having it, but the F80 cures all the ills I didn't like about the 235, and some of the more gradual gripes I associated with the 981. I think it's perfect for me, at least for now. It's also expensive, and the F80 is saving me significantly on a monthly payment basis - there's no doubt that cost and maintenance in the Porsche world are a different kind of animal. I think the 20K mile service was quoted around a grand, so you get the point... I needed something that was just a tad more usable in everyday situations, and the F80 gives me all of that. I love all the adjust-ability on the throttle, suspension, steering, and viciousness of the shifts - you can really dial it in to the needs of any particular moment. The tech is also much, much better, which I didn't realize I cared about until I got to use it. All in all, I am really happy. Love this car and always wanted an M3.

Do you really think the better resale value will be more than the MY price bump? Pretty much a wash, I think.
IMHO if you want to wait several months just because of cosmetic changes, you are buying the wrong car. You don't buy the M2 for the blush and the lipstick. |

I guess that you understand better than us why some P-owners take the - at first glance irrational - decision to sell their Cayman GT4, or no longer use it as daily driver ("a little too Spartan").

Just needed something with additional "range", if that makes sense - more of an all-rounder. And a little more comfort - while keeping the experience as sporty as possible. The M3 is perfect for that - and with the adjust-ability available, the range is very broad - you can have a pretty stiff and sporty experience, or one that is pretty smooth and comfortable. It's also wicked fast, which is definitely fun.

My biggest issue with the M2 has always been the interior. Given you spend most of your time in there, you'd hope it would be decent in a $75K (CAD) car. It's pretty bad in the M2 with rental-car level seats. So IMO the interior needs all the help it can get. The LCI will bring some nice tweaks here and improved materials. So I'm waiting.
