Hi,
Just got new LBB 2 days ago. Finally Thanksgiving is here and I am going to have time to go on the back roads.
Just noticed the lumbar support and the side bolsters work in one direction and not the other. Does anybody have an idea what is going on?

BishUK · 11-24-2016, 06:49 AM

Funny, I've had my LBB a few days now too and noticed something similar. Coming to the M2 straight from a 435d, I noticed the side seat air bolsters do not inflate anywhere near as much as they do in the 4 series. In the 4 you can feel then actually pinching you in if you inflate to their max but way looser in M2 when fully pumped - like, you can only just feel them pressing your sides.
May be like you say, they are only inflating on one side?
Probably best retitling this thread to something about that problem if we're wanting people to comment?

Where are you located? I'd love to see it, I'm in the East Bay.

It's in the shop getting the wax peeled off and going to resin. Should be done by Friday.

Bimmer28312 · 11-30-2016, 12:02 AM

Haven't seen to any m2's in the bay which is kind of odd. Anyway I'm in Fremont if you want to meet up. Mineral grey 6spd 2017 M2

Norcalmav23 · 11-30-2016, 01:14 AM

In a few weeks I can meet up. Took delivery 11/22, car is getting clear bra + ceramic pro until next week. Then gotta get through 1.2k miles. I know hwy 84 and Palomares Rd pretty well. AW DCT in Hayward.

New member here also from the Bay Area. Just wondering which dealership you guys ended up buying at and how long was the wait? Also, did you guys have to pay any markup?

Peter Pan BMW, was #9 on their list. Got on in Feb. Straight MSRP

Zoominrex · 11-30-2016, 12:58 PM

I ordered mine in February and was #21 at Stevens Creek. 9 months later I was told I was number 30 originally... They're still estimated I won't be able to order until next February...

ben_lzn · 11-30-2016, 04:17 PM

One more in San Francisco !

Got mine in August, through Peter Pan as well, 2017 MG 6MT, MSRP with Euro Delivery. If you see a grey one with a german license plate in the back, that's me

mike@x-ph.com · 11-30-2016, 04:18 PM

Congrats and welcome!

bmwv · 11-30-2016, 05:52 PM

Peter Pan, got on the list in Jan, MSRP

MR_M2 · 11-30-2016, 06:16 PM

I will be getting my car in two weeks. We all should meet up and do a pre/post Christmas ride!

I'm down for a meet up too! I live in Concord. I went to cars and coffee blackhawk last month with my LBB M2 and met another LBB M2 owner. I'm going again this Saturday and hopefully see more M2s.

digdiss · 12-01-2016, 01:57 AM

One more SF member. I started calling around bay area dealers in March/April and was told the wait was 1-2 years. I'm not that patient so in August i got in touch with Roadster.com - a car broker. They found a dealer with an allocation and I took delivery last week of October...though I did have to pay a small premium for the spot.

Zoominrex - great experience with Roadster. If you don't want to wait they could be an option for you.

But i'm a little jealous of ben_lzn - i wanted Euro delivery but they couldn't get the dealer to go for it.

Anyhoo - another FY17 MG 6MT. Wave if you see me

Had to buy all the way in Fresno. Waited 6mo at bought at MSRP

clubsport · 12-01-2016, 03:10 AM

Weber? sold at MSRP??? That's amazing.

Dealer closest to me is still asking, and apparently getting 5-7k over. Or so they say.

You guys have some great roads in Norcal and you will LOVE the car. Congrats.
