Looks like the gauges are white, not orange, as per all the newer M's?

It's going to be interesting to see how the allocations roll out in North America since they made an effort to say that it's largest market for the M division and that's it's seen so much growth due to North American sales, add to the the fact that there is two options to choose from, they should be able to build large groups of cars at the same time, i.e. White manuals without executive package.
Hope they'll make an effort for North America!

Good luck in fencing him off once he gets his driving license. The want will be strong.

HUD = neither standard, nor option on the MY2016 M2.

I wish you were right, really, but unfortunately the HUD reference on that webpage is a typo.

They will probably fit it , cannot have it at X1 standard in 2.0 liter engines and,
not having it at all at M2

I would guess 4-5 months in Canada depending on dealer and market. I am in Montreal as well and signed my contract late December. My dealer told me early May but still does not have a production number. He is expecting a production number by early next week to confirm the date.
Hope this helps

No M2 manual or M2 configurator features HUD. I spec'ed my 6MT M2 with all available options and no word about HUD. If available, I would have certainly ticked that box too.

Could be a mere 'copy/paste' mistake sourced from 2er Active Tourer or M3/M4 materials:

BMW engineers apparently transplanted the M3/4 suspension almost completely unchanged into the M2. I wouldn't be surprised if the shocks are identical, but are only allowed to have 2 different settings by the M2 implementation of the iDrive software.

We won't know until the M2 has been delivered to owners and they (or their mechanics) have had time to poke around.

Someone is not going to like this question....




It's a no for HUD, always has been. A chance in the LCI perhaps if there is one..if the HUD come to general 2 LCI but I still doubt it.
