Yes! I go with the Audi club (had an Audi and I've heard Audi Club fees are cheaper than P club and others).

With their schedule, I go to the Ridge twice a year, and Pacific Raceways about once. I used to hit up PIR, but it happens in November and it's a doozy in terms of traction.

Also been to ORP once, but it was so windy, we couldn't step out of our cars.

Which club/events do you go to?

I like turn 2 for the Ridge. Lots of dates and the people are laid back.
My favorite track is Orp. Usually go out with HOD or whoever has the best rates.
Speaking of the Audi club, they're hosting at ORP April 8th and 9th.
That'll probably be my first day out in the M2.
I bought the TR rims and 265 Star Specs. I need to get my pads ordered this week and get the fluid in.
I also like to road trip to Laguna Seca once a year for a track day but this year we're thinking Thunderhill since I haven't done the new North track.

Another Seattle member here. On wait lists hoping for an allocation soon. I'm an active autocrosser and currently have a dedicated car that I run in local events (not a BMW). Once I land an M2 I'll likely compete with it for at least a year or two depending on how well it stacks up in its class.

Did you get yours from Kuni? I saw a MG in the delivery bay last summer.
I daily mine. I have a short commute from Beaverton to Cedar Hills!

Nice! I'll be at the ridge in May for sure. I'll look into HOD or Turn 2, since May is too far away!

Definitely interested in Laguna Seca also. Perhaps one of these seasons I'll tag along.

Have been lazy about pads/fluid/lines, waiting for drier weather so I can work on the car.

I usually do a couple events a year. Looking forward to seeing how the 265 square setup feels!

Got it at Kuni but in December. You must have a winter setup. I use the X1 for bad weather. I'm on Beaverton Hillsdale and Hwy 26 a lot. Waiting for dry weather to take a run out to and down the coast.

I live in Tri Cities and can travel to Portland or Seattle. Anyone recommend a dealer that won't try to mark up above MSRP and will work to get you the exact options and colors you want?

I'm working in Kuwait but will be home in May for a visit and finish my Kuwait assignment in December and would like to order an M2 in May to pick up in Dec or Jan.

BMW Seattle and BMW Northwest. I got mine from Northwest but both agreed to MSRP. Honestly, just walk if they pull any funny business.

Did you go with DCT or manual? I'm torn, I've never driven a DCT and spent most of my life driving manuals but now gotten accustomed to automatics.

I'm torn between the LBB & MG...which color did you choose?

I have LBB. Attracts more attention than I like...kinda like my 04 NSX. If I had a do over I'd do MG. But, LBB is a stunning color!

I have a DCT LBB car. My do-over would've been to get the manual LBB is a great color! It's a different blue in different lighting conditions
