Hey guys,

This will be my first bmw so i need your help. Will the M2 get free 50,000miles maintenance or is that just a dream? If it is just a dream, how much should i be expecting?

Thanks in advance!

MY2016 is last year of 50k maintenance.

[Verbiage]

In fact, the M2 mirrors KIA's warranty of 100,000 miles due to it being such a coveted first generation release automobile. Inquire about this with your local dealer.

If you are in the US , the warranty program for 2016 models is *absolutely* preferred over the warranty on the same vehicle as a 2015.

BMW pays for nearly all normal wear and tear including wiper blades and brake pads. It's very satisfying and gratifying to have no other out of pocket expenses other than your car payment.

On this car, when you consider the brake pads/rotors alone, it is a good reason to shoot for a 2016 rather than a 2017.

Sure, the 2017 will theoretically be LCI, but that won't likely be anything drastic anyway. The change in maintenance is a real consideration factor moving to 2017 models and beyond.

But, are the brake pads and rotors expected to wear out before 50k for average M2 driver?

No. But many owners will attempt to get them replaced before the warranty is out. 3-4 years of regular driving at 15-18K miles a year sounds about right for average brake wear.

Also, define "average M2 driver".

I predict mine will at ~ 48,500....

Ummmmmm, wouldn't you rather have them covered when you find out you aren't .. " average " ?

My dealer replaced my brake pads at 8K miles...

I'm " above average "

This is a sports car!!

If you plan to drive it like miss daisy then you probably won't need a thing during the warranty period other than fluid changes, and you probably could have just gone with an M235!

M CAR BUCKET LIST

- Join BMW CCA (what- you haven't already ?!)
- take a car control clinic/attend an autocross
- do an HPDE in it
- take it to a car show /concours event
- take it on a Driving tour


Lather, rinse, repeat ...
That's 4 years and 50,000 miles of FUN

So true, M3 Adjuster so true!

[zenmaster]

The "average M2 driver" would be wear due to most M2 driver's driving. Do the M brakes tend to wear quicker than other BMW brakes? I got plenty of wear left on my AH3 at 47k mi., but I don't track the car.

I think it's great that BMW will pay for maintenance required due to track use, and even track event use.

It really sucks the BMW Canada's warranty doesn't cover any of the wear and tears like brake pads, rotors or clutches.

I would sure as shit hope so. If they don't, perhaps you bought the M2 for the wrong reasons.

Minor point, but your stock brake pads aren't going to withstand track use if you're even a brisk driver.

Tough to say what the wear rate is on the pad compounds they've chosen, you'd have to ask current F80 owners I guess. I'm sure your AH3 uses a harder pad for sure though.

Covers pads and rotors. Doesn't cover the clutch. In fact, I don't know of any manufacturer who will cover a worn clutch disc, and exploded one maybe, but definitely not worn.

Also, make sure to get your blades done once per year or you lose it, like I did.

Anyone else noticed how many e84 X1 people are getting a M2? We have three of them in this thread alone, plus want135m and a couple others...

Seems we all have similar tastes for small, quick cars!

I've got a 1M and just picked up an E84 X1...

I've got at least another year, probably 2 before I can jump in. But wifey wants one...so it's looking good.

Oh I thought clutch was covered under the current US warranty as outlined in that spreadsheet

[Twix]

If it falls apart. If you ride it like a pony, they won't cover it.

Sorry I don't know what an AH3 is.

I repeat.

This is a sports car.

Absolutely you should expect it to consume more of the following than your average commuter vehicle.

1- fuel
2- tires- especially rear tires!!
3- oil
4- brake pads
5 - brake rotors
6- yes! tires again! Don't expect much more than 20k for a set of tires

Some posts on 2 Series LCI seem to indicate MY2018 which would probably have a SOP of 07/17. They may have said in 2017.
