they put down an order at the garage (official bmw representative in germany) and I've paid the car. they told me, the configuration is based on the current model and could change a bit and if it will, they contact me about the specific adjustments. they told me also about the possible higher pricetag, but they said – and I have that in writing – the difference (and it will be small so they said…) will be paid by the garage.

production of the LCI models starting in july, delivery should be at least this year. it is true about the missing fact and price sheets, yet they told me a lot about the changes like led lights in front and back, other interior trims and a bit more power. of course I don't know if all of that actually apply to the final product. we will see.

Stupid one... July like 1st of July? I could try the same trick to place the car on order and to request a July production date but I need to make sure when the LCI starts from for sure

Things really are better in Switzerland. No wonder my Spanish colleague wants to move there. I like the sound of a little bit more power

+1 from Sweden. I'm in the same boat. Just hoping the car will get here before the snow...

In Poland I will have to cover the difference in price however they promissed the car on September the latest.

Bawaria Motors Warsaw?

[Darekme]

Yep

Yesterday I went to my official BMW dealer (Belgium, Leuven). They told me they had a list of price changes for the month July for all the models and the 2-serie or M2 is not in the list.

The demand for the M2 is not that high for the moment (everybody waiting for the LCI?) and the dealer told me if I would sign my order today, I'll have the car delivered beginning of July.

For personal reasons, I need the car not earlier than end of August so I think I'll wait a bit longer and hope for an announcement of the LCI this month.

Wait, your dealer told you that BMW was adding more power to the LCI M2?

[Aerosoul Bastard]

to wide the gap between the beefed-up m240i from last year, yes
still, nothing of this is confirmed by official sources yet

I don't understand. Did your dealer tell you that's what it will indeed have, or that's what they want it to have? Big difference.

I was starting to think that I was the only one that spotted the 'more power' comment!

[Aerosoul Bastard]

I think I made it clear, whatever, let us wait for the official specs

Wow. Seems to be very different depending on which country you're in. I was at this dinner last week where I sat between two BMW salesmen and they told me that there's a 10 month delivery if you order an M2 today.

Just got mine 3 weeks ago. It's incredible. My Dad has a M4 and drove mine and was immediately jealous. Over thinking all of this is a waste of time. Get your ass behind the wheel and drive.

It's dishonest business for a dealer to tell a customer their car will come with certain features, when they don't know that it will. Also, the rationalisation of needing a power gap between M2 and M240i is complete BS and makes no sense due to the models being priced the same.

At least it's spiced-up the thread again. I was fairly confident we were only getting new lights and possibly a couple of new colours. Now I can be even more excited at the prospect of a beefed up N55. Next thing we know someone will tell us their dealer said it's going to get the B58 engine and we'll be back to where the thread started, wildly guessing at what what BWM will do

[Aerosoul Bastard]

that escalated quickly, I'm sorry

I drove the M3 and M4 with ZCP on a track event last week. The cars all had different individual colors (just loved the champagne quartz one and the british racing green was kind of cool as well) and full leather interiors. I thought they were really nice and I now find myself browsing for used M4's. But they must have that sweet full leather interior. If not, I don't see the point... Smelled so great inside from all that leather.

As I haven't driven an M2 on track yet I can't really compare but I didn't get that WOW!-feeling from the 450 hp S55 engine as I thought I would. Yes, it's fast and all that but on the way home I got a similar feeling from my 370 hp N55.

I kind of liked the raspiness of the ZCP S55 but the M2 N55 makes a sweeter noise all around.

Exactly, in Poland you wait 2-3 months from ordering, and there are several below MSRP in the lots. In Germany ppl are waiting 10+ months in some dealerships. I even got a significant discount on my LCI order here.

I would get the car as soon as you can. The LCI will always have more modern, updated features, but the car platform is the same. It is only aging and getting closer to a full redesign and/or even ending production with no future models. Additionally, life is too short with unexpected events. Enjoy the car now while you can. (I go about this with any car and not just the M2) If you have the financial ability, do it now.

It is crazy people are waiting to order to spec. If you look hard enough, you can find a dealer inventory for msrp. Again, I go back to my theory of life is too short. Enjoy the car as soon as you can!
