Congrats!
Looking forward to this tread.
The mods seems nice and evolve an already a very sporty car.
Please let us know when you receive your production slot, since many of us also wait...
Cheers

Lime green wrap? Wow. I REALLY like it a lot.

Too bad BMW isn't brave enough to put some color on the car ..

[G-Mann]

Nice build and project, love the wrap color combo.

I did my AW 135i in matt lime green, looked stunning If there would have been individual, I would have asked for a lime green paint job.

Car would look great with a CF lip spoiler. I'm sure a vender is already working on one.

Pics of the 135i?

Really looking forward to seeing your car, MR. The lime green wrap is really bold. I like it.

When read MR I thought you were going to fully customize your M2 to be MR (Mid engine, Rear Wheel drive) but then I read your name. In my mind, I was like "this person is nuts!" Lol

Either way, good luck with your project!

Of course.... Check the attachments below. These pics were made before I installed the Bilstein B16 kit, so at the end the car was a lot lower. This is including the full engine conversion to 450hp and 600Nm including exhaust, turbos, down pipes, etc + a lot more other changes on the inside.

First sticking with LBB and get the project finished, then I might consider Lime Green for 2017. Just something new for another year.

The first step of boldness might be the choice for gold/bronze wheels from HRE or Vorsteiner to replace the stock wheels. Might do that after a set of rears has been finished

I have officially ordered the car yesterday. All paperwork done and now it is a waiting game. The dealer gave me a really nice discount and a production slot in February. I am expecting my car to arrive when I am at the Geneva Motor Show early March and that is when I will see the car for the very first time live, which is kind of awkward but OK.

I also saw the BMW X6 M in LBB parked outside and inside, both dirty and clean. It gave me a good in-depth look at the color better than on the IAA where the lights completely killed the true nature of the color.

Running in process
For those of you, who have some information on the subject of running in. What is common with a M car? What is allowed and what not? What is the common process? Does it include a service after the running in period?

Disengaging BMW Active Sound
Additionally, I have been investigating the deactivation of the BMW Active Sound system for cars with HK audio. I spotted a nice video on YouTube showing a M4 owner just disconnecting a connector of the Active Sound box and that was it. Does anyone know if that is the same on the M235i, and subsequently also on the M2?

And there was this stunning car in the showroom...

Congrats MR, sounds great.

Interesting what you say about the discount....on a launch new M car?! So much for the limited status?

I hope the wait passes quickly for you. Look forward to photos on delivery.

Chris.

ASD can be turned off in cars with Harman Kardon only or coded off in all cars. This info is from the F80 section, but should apply to every other F-gen BMW.

Yes, there's a 1,200 mile service which includes new fluids.

P. S. Are you from the Czech Republic?

I live there! I am not from the country

Thanks for the information. Interesting info about the coding, but I think pulling the plug is easier and faster

Discount on M cars are market dependent - here in Sweden it generally 8-10% sometimes a little more. When I lived in the UK I never got a decent discount mostly because I was one of the first to get the M3, CSL, M5 etc - such is the price of being an early adopter

As for 'limited status' BMW are going to pump out as many as the market demands so it's hardly limited.

Not as a fact, but I heard it from different directions.

II hope you are right. I'm 5th on my dealer's list, and if I don't get this car I'm going to cry like a little girl.

No however, I don't think BMW AG really stick to limited for example they built more than double the planned number of 1M Coupé - 2,700 cars increased to 6309 by the end of the production run. I'm sure if BMW had had spare production capacity even this number would have been exceeded.

Some national importers may artificially limit numbers, ie: BMW GB limiting imports of the 1M Coupé to 500 units and naming them '1 of 500'. BMW AG or DE IIRC didn't limit sales.

Also, in the european countries which have already published M2 brochures I haven't noticed 'limited production' being mentioned. I'd say the only thing which will have a dramatic impact on production would be a strong increase in demand for the other models built at Leipzig. Daily production at Leipzig is up to 740 vehicles of BMW 1 series, BMW 2 series, BMW M2, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and electric vehicles.
