I've only had it a week but people do notice it. Mostly other Bimmer drivers. About an hour ago some guy in a CLA45 AMG pulls besides me revving his engine and wanting me to race. What a joker.

Ya but even according to this Merc blog the M2 is better.

Yep... mostly by dudes at the gas station (which is where I spend most of my time). Total sausage magnet.

Mine is black, so kind of low profile. But the MPE people do notice all the time. Funniest question was lady from Costco gas station. "hey nice car, did you change it or it came this way..."

Went for a long drive yesterday morning, and stopped at a gas station in a small town outside Charlestown, WV. It was about 10am on a Sunday, so let's just say it was quiet. There's one dude walking down the street, literally the only other person I see outside. He looks over at me as I'm filling up and says, "That's a bad ass car, bro."

Had mine a week after an LCI M135i which never really got a great deal of attention, the M2 on the other hand turns heads left right and centre, in fact some seem to have heads that swivel!!!

Picked up my M2 Friday night, and yesterday on the commute home someone in a red 996 pulled up and gave a compliment through open side windows. He seems to be traveling with someone in an white F30 that was doing line lock burnouts while stopped in LA rush hour traffic...

With LBB I think some people notice that it's a bit different, but likely don't know what it actually is.

I had a motorcycle coming up my right side and thought he was gonna lane-split and pass me, so I was leaning left a bit in my lane to give him space, but he stayed just behind me and never passed, even when the next lane over was clear. He stopped beside me at a light to pay a compliment, both to the car and the stick shift

In Beverly Hills/Hollywood where I've seen nearly every sort of exotic sports car the last few months I'm kinda surprised how much attention my M2 gets!

One of the most redic encounters happened on my way to a bi-weekly Euro car meet. I was at a stop light and an old eclipse pulls up. 4 ghetto lookin hood rat girls ask me what I'm bumpin. I turned up my music and they were vibin with me. I asked if they got the album yet (came out Friday) she says I got it on my phone. I then told her I bought the CD for collection. She then ask where I'm going I said to a car meet. She ask if she can come I said it's Euro Cars only but I guess u can if u want. She then says u wanna buy me one. I laughed and sarcastically said yea maybe one day. Then green light comes and to my surprise she asks me for my number. I said "Have a nice day!" and drove off. Lol

At stop light a random normal sedan rolls up with the passenger asking me if I wanted to race. I laughed and said "What you got in there?" He replies "Me I'm gonna run!" He said "Nice car" I said thanks and have you seen one before (given I still haven't seen one in the wild, only at organized events) He says "yea a black one...this the M3 right?" lol I had to inform him the M3s are sedans now and the M2 is the modern day version of the old school M3 he was thinking of. Then the light turns green and he says "Show me what the car can do!" I replied back "I can't the car still warming up bro!"

So at traffic lights on way home from work and two young lads filming on their phones all round the car, one asked me to rev it which I wouldn't normally do but couldn't resist, made their day!

Today I went for a small roadtrip, and I got a lot of attention.
- A dude in a utility van pressed his horn when coming next to me at a red light, just to say nice car.
- Later on I was park to check out the mountain view and a guy on a bicycle was like "ho, a real M2 !"
- Parked in the city, in front of a restaurant while waitting for my wife doing her shopping, the chef came to see me in the car "I'm planing to get it in the near future when i retire since i spend lot of time on the track" and he asked me questions on how it drives
- and last and woman looking at it and said "an M2 with a baby, wtf !?" I was kind of surprised at the same time that she'd even know this car lol

All of this the same day, that's an attraction magnet... I just hope it doesn't attract cops too much XD

This was a fun one. yesterday at work, I got stuck on a call that made lunch impossible. there was a conference room with some out of town people and they ordered too many box lunches. they let me and another lady grab one. she's she's a BMW lady, has a nice e90, and asked if I'd gotten rid of my m3.

now during lunch when you're in one of those conferences, you don't really leave, you break out the laptop and try to catch up on what you're missing by being in the conference. 3 guys were doing that, real heads down stuff.


so I mentioned to the BMW lady that I still have it but just got an M2. one of the heads down guys looks up with a big smile on his face and says, "Nice!". Then back to his laptop.

I got a big kick out of that. So just the MENTION of the car got some big notice, lol.

So it looks like the LBB crew is getting the majority of the love?

Glad I went with AW then

My CLS63 garnered me way too much attention.

This past weekend as I was heading out of town, a black GT-R tailed me for about a minute, then pulled alongside me on the left. I thought he was just gonna pass me but I realized he wasn't going anywhere. So I look over and see his passenger side window rolled down, and the guy's leaning over giving me a thumbs up
I give him a thumbs up, then he takes off.
Props from a GT-R driver!!! That made my day!!!
Then at the end of the weekend coming back into town I get a speeding ticket.... so awesome start to the weekend, but shitty ending. Oh well.
