It will ride firmly, it will be loud at times, and the Dct overrun is a bit childish ( but fun for the kid in you !).

Check out the M4. If it's not luxo enough then a sounds like Mercedes/Lexus might be worth checking out.

You don't want to spend 55k and sell in 3 weeks

They had 2 M4 competition packs on the lot when I went yesterday. I could have gone home with one, no waiting. I've driven the M4 on the track and the street. I don't like the M4. I've owned a GTI. Firm rides are fine with me and I live for GOOD sound. At this stage in my life I just want luxury AND performance. At the same time. Maybe by the time the M2 GC comes around, BMW will improve its interiors and can take my money.

Edited to add: the interior of the M4 is not more luxurious than the M2. They are all the same to me on the inside. The differences are too minor to matter.

Did you get yours at Reeves? I bought my MG 235i there last month. Would love to see an M2 in person in a color other than LBB (which I really dislike for some reason...) one of these days.

Then they tried to sell me the M4 competition pack since it is the same price. I just smiled and nodded. I know the real truth.

HOWEVER, the M2 is not any nicer in person than in pictures. I wasn't that impressed. It doesn't have as much presence as I want for my next car. Maybe it's the LBB (MG is my color). The interior is plain. BMW interiors just don't do it for me. I am realizing I'm luxury-performance more than performance-luxury. Pretty close to giving up my #1 spot for my MSRP M2.

This happens to be at vista... 20k over is the price... they have an m3 comp pck for 15k over as well... stay miles away is all i can recommend. They also had a regular m3 for 5k over until a few months ago...

Nope. Fields in Lakeland. Reeves never called me back. Funny story though, I went to Reeves cars and coffee this month and the Reeves guys were checking out my M2. I asked them if they're getting one and they said they are allocated 6 for the year but that they had no idea when they would get one. They couldn't believe Fields had got one before them

Even Ferman got one already. I'm surprised Reeves haven't yet.

I drove one in LBB at Fields Winter Park a couple of weeks ago. They may still have it.

I called reeves a few months back since I get my X5 serviced there and they said that their first allocation (they wouldn't say when that would be) was going to the dealership owner and would not be made available for customers to view.

Yeah, they told me 6 for the year as well -- surprised they haven't gotten one yet.

I waited too long to get on the list -- so it was an M235i for me this time around. M2 in three years, probably.

I'm surprised Fields got one first, too.

A few years ago my wife wanted to trade in her 3 series for a new one. I went with her to Vista BMW with print outs from Edmunds, etc. I thought the price for the new car and what they were going to give her for her trade-in was absurd. They told me you can't trust the internet and I should trust them. Insisted she go to Lauderdale BMW on Federal Highway. She got the same exact car she was interested in and the price, net of trade-in, was an incredible $8,000 lower. Not sure anybody is going to get a good deal right now on an M2 but in another year or two you will if you go to a reputable dealer.

Never had a good experience dealing with reeves. People are always stuck up there.

I'm closer to Reeves but I'll be servicing my car at Fields Lakeland.

Mercedes and Audi soundly beat BMW on interiors. The new A4 interior is spectacular, the S4 might not be a bad option to consider. But don't get me wrong, I'm a BMW fan. Love the driving dynamics, and I don't think an AWD Audi can come close to being as much fun as a RWD BMW.... In any case, this is a wonderful era for the automobile. Lots of great options out there.

Yeah fields is the way to go. I only service at reeves cause I know one of the techs there.

They are a scummy dealer that preys on a very large wealthy and dumb market... they have the volume to get away with this too.

This was the second car I've bought from them -- and I don't really enjoy the process much. I actually swore I wouldn't do it again after the first one.

The problem was, I had dealers from here, to Miami, to Jacksonville discussing deals and Reeves wound up being the best of the bunch.

Haha that's what typically happens. I ended up getting my m235i from Sarasota.

I take mine to Sarasota -- Reeves is way closer, but my girlfriend lives like a mile from Sarasota BMW. Haven't had any complaints, other than they never put me on the M2 list even when I was bugging them last October...

I wanted to get mine there or Braman (only because Braman had a MT, which was what I really wanted, but they refused to deal unless I made the four hour drive to Miami first), but it just didn't work out that way.

I like Sarasota -- I take my 235i down there and they wash it for free. Guys at the concierge desk are always talking to me about mods and stuff. They seem pretty okay, M2 wait list fiasco excluded.

I called them a few months ago, they said the waitlist was over 15 names long

Yeh vista is a bunch of crooks! When I was negotiating price for my F30, Vista called me and I said I not driving up there unless you tell me some figure over the phone. So I told them what Lauderdale was offering me and they were like thats impossible because the car isnt out yet so we actually have it over msrp. So I said thank you, have a nice day im actually on my way to lauderdale bmw in pines. they actually gave me the car for what we discussed so i ended up adding more options.
