Finally got my BSM M2 after 6 months of waiting

ric124 · 09-10-2016, 12:48 AM

So took me about a week to break in after my long journey from Atlanta.

So the SA said the diff doesn't have oil during the break in period it's some kinda break in fluid they use. Also they have to turn off the restriction after they changed the fluids. He was like if you think you had power before now you going to have more power. I'm not too sure since my driving style has changed since break in.

Here are some more pics from yesterday's track day

By July 12 my vehicle enters production and is completed by 07/25 and got to the Nalley BMW dealership on 08/22. You can see my more detailed timeline on M2 order timeline thread.
Saturday morning I flew into Atlanta and went straight to the dealership where I saw my M2 beside an i8 in their customer staging area. It was nice to see on first startup the dif lock warning light popped because the car was still in transportation mode.
So after jumping in and taking my first drive I completely forgot people were complaining that the seat was tilted and each and every time I go in and start up my car I can't tell or even think about the seat. I spent about 10 hours driving back from Atlanta to miami and the seats were fine. They actually felt better than the ones I had in my F30 335i and I imported the profile from that car. So as part of the break in process on highway driving I was varying my revs, speeds and gears. I did get caught by laser in South Georgia on the higher side but I still kept everything in range I did not go over 105 or over 5500rpm.
Here are somethings I noticed, the bliping is less noticeable in comfort mode. The ASD im not sure if I can tell the difference if it's coming from the speakers or the exhaust. I would say this though in sport mode driving around town that exhaust burbles every time I let off the gas. The car has a lot of grip even in the rain and makes me feel like I can take any corner at any speed. There is a USB port by the cup holder which I did not expect.

Playing music over Bluetooth is absolutely horrible. I have an iPod touch that I will keep plugged in at all times. I like that with iDrive 5 I don't have to launch Spotify in order to access Spotify from iDrive and it also can be accessed via Bluetooth as well but don't do it. I have the iPod connected to the BMW wifi hotspot this way I can have my Spotify and my podcast automatically update and not needing to worry about my phone being connected via USB or horrible bt.
To setup hotspot you will need your cars phone number and by registering it at myvehicle.att.com
I got that setup yesterday plus I installed the M performance grills the cheap way. I bought the grills for the M235i and I removed centers and replaced it with my stock centers.

The voice command and the navigation is a huge improvement over previous iDrive experiences. I can hit the voice prompt and say navigate to "any destination" and it will just start navigating to that location. Like for example "navigate to chipotle" and that's it. You can also ask about fuel and it will bring up the fuel info on the screen and tell you some info. At the end of my 10hr journey I hit the voice command button and said "I'm hungry" and it brought up a list of nearby restaurants.

Anyway here are some pics I'll try to take some more buts it's raining.

Congrats bro. I have been waiting for mine here in the ATL with Gwinnett BMW since October 2015 as number 3 on their list. Nothing yet.

So in my journey down I got a speeding ticket in the Vienna, Ga area. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this ticket. I've contacted a random lawyer in the area which I'm waiting on a call back from.

ric124 · 10-08-2016, 12:00 PM

So this happened! Was driving home on the 95 and it looks like someone's tire thread detached from the rest of the tire. I tried to dodge it but it collided with the right front of the car.

Sucks man.
Florida...I can't believe you guys still don't have vehicle inspection. I've seen some real rolling death traps on my journeys through there.

I ordered a scratch remover and I'm thinking if I should order painted reflectors or just order a replacement reflector and smoke it. I also noticed that half the under guard is gone. It looks better after it washed and I was able to snap everything back in.

At least it didn't catch your headlight!

I know right. So far looks like the hardest part is the tow hook cover.
