Finally, She's here!!! Took delivery yesterday!

_bmwdriver_ · 02-25-2017, 09:06 AM

Hi guys!

Obviously I'm super excited! I've been on a waiting list in July and got the allocation on 12/9/16. I originally ordered LBB but opted for MGM with no regrets on that decision. I've read many of you saying that you'll get more heads turn with LBB, but I can honestly say that if you're on the fence I'm getting plenty of stares as I drive by. The sound it makes along with its bulldog charm may make the color debate almost irrelevant. If you do get any color other than LBB, the black kidney grills ARE A MUST! I also would opt for (and did add) the black side grills too. It's a great complimentary touch!

Check her out! What an ass!

Vitacura · 02-25-2017, 09:59 AM

Very nice, Congrats!

Vintage · 02-25-2017, 10:27 AM

That is a beautiful car!!!

DrKevM5 · 02-25-2017, 10:42 AM

Sweet! Looks like you had a great day weather wise for picking it up, enjoy!

hz101 · 02-25-2017, 11:11 AM

Congrats! What tires did it come with? I've been hearing people have been getting Continental tires instead of the nicer Michelin ones.

Sadly Continental...trying not to get too worked up over that.

Congrats! I have the same one with black kidneys/side grills too

. Although I got pilot supersports and M-DCT... Enjoy your car, I love it and I'm sure you love it as much as I do.

SHE is a beauty! Did you name her? Any thought on Plastic Dipping the grill and side badges instead of buying from Bimmer? I'm going to get MG and I'm thinking of dipping the front grill and M2 emblem, side emblems, and rear M2 in a carbon black color. Nothing glossy. To clarify..... won't dip the color hashes before the M2 (whatever they are called) as a tribute to the factory.

TheBatM2 · 02-25-2017, 02:54 PM

Congratulations, what a beauty! My car is exactly the same build and is currently awaiting shipment from Bremerhaven.

Artemis · 02-25-2017, 04:36 PM

Congrats.

Drive it in good health.

Her name is Greta. And as far as opting for alternative grills -not a fan. But that's just me
