Houston Auto Show 27th 31st Jan. 2016

Is anyone going to visit before the weekend?

If so, can you kindly let me know if the M2 is on show?

Planning to visit this weekend if so.

Thanks.

DCT. It was locked, but the BMW guy had the window down halfway. It is just like my 235 except all black. Blue stitching nice but is dark in there!

Car is really aggressive looking and the LBB is awesome on this car. They really did well on the design to make it different from the other 2 series.

I guess it is not the same car we saw on the scale in the other post: manual with EURO specs (ie no front orange/yellow reflectors)!

That sucks it was locked. I'm guessing you asked the BMW dude to unlock the car and said no?

I've never had an issue when asking someone to open a car for me, just explain that I'm thinking about ordering and would appreciate if I could check it out (which has always been the case when I've asked). Audi in Chicago actually turned off the turntable and let me climb on stage to check out the S3. Really surprised you guys are having trouble, that sucks.

That's one of the main reasons I wanna go. LBB looks like a fascinating color to me
