Great, I'm new M2 owner

A dream is going to be reality, I just signed for a new M2. Mineral Grau, DKG, M-Driver's package and lot of other optional. I'm so excited, I won't sleep tonight.

Congratulations!! Good color choice. You'll love the car.

Your English is fine!! I wish we in the US had to learn another language. I speak enough German to get in trouble. But only thanks to my mom coming from Munich.

Send pictures when you get the car!!

Congratulations! Here's a photo of the MG M2 on display at the Welt when we were there a couple of weeks ago. There were constantly people hovering around it, waiting for a chance to sit in it.

Congratulations you will love it. !! Hopefully your wife will too, either way the M2 is a keeper


I had an affair with an E30 M3.. it lasted 17 wonderful years and preceded and outlasted my ex wife of 13 years. Then I slept with a 1M and it was all over..

Your English is excellent. The title of your post was not incorrect or a mistake. You simply stumbled into a funny quirk in the English language where we sometimes type a sentence that mimics a particular tone or inflection is our speech. I don't think I can even explain it in text here. This link explains it if you wish to understand further. In short, there are some words in English that are now used to mean the opposite, because the person is being sarcastic or trying to be funny. "Great" is one of them. Adding the comma after "great" when typing it can indicate you are using it in that sarcastic way. if you had instead said: "Great! I'm a new M2 owner." there would not have been the confusion. Again, you were 100% grammatically correct. Our language is a mess.

Yes indeed. I know I was like a kid when I took delivery.

You are lucky, I had to wait about a year for mine.

Great choice in cars and color!

Here's a photo of my M2, at the dealership the day I picked it up!

This car is a blast! Every time I get in it and start it up, it brings a smile to my face! And... the mineral gray is such an elegant color!

I know that while I was waiting for my M2 to arrive (took 3 and a half months from the time I ordered it until it arrived at the dealership) I couldn't get enough of seeing photos of M2's... especially in mineral gray!

Congrats!

Thank's so much for your explanation. We have similar way in Italian but depend of the context of the sentence. Anyway, thank you very much !
