The most common color by far has to be LBB. The rarest in my opinion is BSM. I too have yet to see one on the road.

I specified BSM / 6MT / Exec / CarPlay.
The Exec pkg, for me, is a must-have.
Not sure if I want to pay AT&T to enable the wi-fi hot spot though.
I might try it for a month or two just for experimentation.

I happen to know all of the owners personally..

So far the M2's originality overhere

Cheers

In my home town there are 400 inhabitants, of which 100 are cows, 100 are sheep, 1 is a donkey and 20 are dogs. There are NO M2's.... but there will soon be 1 LBB with Fabspeed exhaust. I sincerely doubt there will be any more M2's LOL

Huh? 4000 cars is "not so rare"? You've got to be kidding.

That's *global* production.

What do you consider rare? A Koenigsegg? Because that's a ridiculous standard.

BMW sells *over 2M cars a year*.

There are literally more *i8s* sold than M2s.

So yeah, it's rare. I haven't seen one at all yet in NoCal.

Been looking in North Scottsdale for the last six months and haven't seen a single M2 here. Plenty of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other exotics... but no M2s.

Edit: Saw an LBB M2 at the dealer today - they had it under a cover in a part of the dealership that was off the beaten track. Seems that this car gets a lot of attention when one comes in. They have an M4 GTS there too.

Lol 4000 cars worldwide is really rare for two years.

To put that into perspective there were 5000 gt350's made in 2016 and 5000 more for 2017. Not exactly a Honda Accord.

There was roughly 7,000 335is' produced (2011-2013). 3,500 coupes and 3,500 cabs. I consider that pretty rare and I hardly ever see one. Thinking of stepping up to the M2 though which is why I'm here.

Somebody help me here. In the next 10 days or so I will pick up my M2 which has literally no options whatsoever. AW with MT. I ordered the floor mats for $106, but my salesman forgot to throw that in to the build.

I wonder if the cheapest possible version of the M2 might be the most popular. Or the least popular. Anyone venture a guess?

Probably the least. Most people get at least one option.
