YES!!!!!!!!!
I got so many questions for you!

1) Manuel or DCT - if manual does the shift knob light up
2) do the real seats fold down
3) how does it sound -
4) how big is it next to your friends Cayman

I think its been verified that it doesn't light up. The real question is why would you want a knob that lights up anyway?

Amazing how many M2 whiners there are ! LoL

You people that are getting your car this year really should be more appreciative.
I am appreciate but . My problem wasn't the dealer it was me not finishing the paperwork And assumed this car wouldn't come until later for me then I got glimmer of hope and I want to join the other m2 owners. My car is just chilling at the dealer in Texas now until the paperwork is fedex to me.

I wouldn't call it a whine more of a cause and effect of being lazy. And I'm
paying the price. Can't do anything about it. Im learning to have patience and move on. One positive news, because I'm not getting it right away - I can see what black grills will look on LBB IRL. I am appreciate to be one of the first group to get this car, but at the end of the day we are all somewhat selfish.

Congrats again to OP. MG is really a nice color, and you can do so much with it. Great choice! Now show us some videos!!
Is yours at Tyler or Wichita Falls?

I received a photo from a friend of an lbb car that was on a truck passing from Fort Worth to Wichita Falls.

The truck stopped at autobahn where it did NOT drop an M2 and then went another 120 miles

The real question is ...

For those that DO want a lighted shift knob, why don't you just order it at the dealer counter ?

People have been doing this "mod " for decades

Jesus this car looks good in MG.

You volunteering to shoot? Maybe you can do it after you finish the PM assignment that other member gave you. Slacker.

Don't expect me to rush to the dealer to go and have a peek as soon as soon as it's loaded off the truck. Quite likely I'll patiently wait until all prep is done + all M Performance parts that have arrived in the meantime at the dealer, will have been installed (in other words, I'll wait till delivery day). Even if that would mean early next month. Yeah, I think I stand quite a good chance to pass the so-called Marshmellow test.
Having a lighted shift knob put on too?

Nope, but my company is paying for it since it's within a year of my move. You could say that it's a pretty large comapny... Lol. Very fortunate that they treat their employees so incredibly well.
