Fantastic pic, so how was the drive home? Impressed or going by your post on 2addicts needs a bit more power?

Drive home was good. Not exhilarating ( no autobahns )

Car was awesome dynamically. Felt somewhat lacking in low end torque, compared to a JB4 135.

It had its first service today which includes a ecu reset.Since then it has come alive.

It makes its power further after the rev range, whereas the 135 was over at 5800 rpm. And appears to be geared taller. This takes some adjustment.

Whats the eta to seat time in yours ?

Good news that the car becomes a different beast after the first service, the M will not be my daily so will probably take me a while until the run in is complete.

My car should of been unloaded today, dealer says maximum 2 weeks till she's ready.

Thanks to you guys I was able to put your advice into practice and managed to sign up on a car yesterday. Have no previous history with the dealer, negotiated the price I wanted and it's getting built next week. Should be here in 6-8 weeks, so happy with the wait. Could have been sooner but I didn't want to settle on specs.

You really do need to shop around, there are deals to be had.

Hey prodigy I cant wait I bet you are buzzing, so happy the boat made it to Australia, the Oberon needs to get to Port Kembla quick smart. I also picked up all my m performance parts and have been sitting and staring at them I'll try up load the pics if I can be bothered to resize but they are so pretty

Hang ON! Hang On! Whats with the first service bit and the CPU reset?? Never heard of this?
Can some one fill me in on why they do this?

Is the CPU detuned for run in purposes?


I discovered from my experience that the shipping Companies don't like to muck around with vehicle delivery. Arrive at the port one day, unload and gone the next.
From all reports BMW have an inspection station at the port to examine the cars for transport damage.

BMW gets them of the port fairly quickly as they have to pay a daily port fee which is expensive.

The guys at Idn do mild engine tuning.

They took their new M2 to the AMS Performance Dyno to get a base line figure of the M2 prior to tuning it.

As we all know BMW states the engine pumps out 500nm at the crank:

After many runs the dyno firmly recorded 560nm at the crank which calculates 501nm ATW.

As usual BMW under states the power output of their engines. But hey who's complaining

So I just found out that my M2 is now an August build, probably November delivery. But let's be realistic, it will be December delivery. Which means it will be a full year I have had to wait for my M2.

Or I could just buy this. What a bargain! http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...-4017301/?Cr=1

Similar situation.. was a June build and now being told a September build for December delivery.

Considered asking for a 2017 build, but that would be an additional 4/5 months wait.

Infuriating.

Congrats mate, you've done really well to get a build date so soon, guys like poor Attuale ordered last year and still have a long wait ahead.
What specs did you order? Are you keeping the 1M?

I'm still waiting for my Grilles, hopefully they arrive at the dealers before the car does.

Still can't get over how long you are having to wait yet some people who are only just placing orders are getting delivery before you.
At least you finally have an approx date.

Thanks mate, I'm going with LBB, MDCT & sunroof. If I was willing to go with white I would have had the car by end of the month.
I test drove a Mustang but there's a 12 month wait and the dealer said if there are any cancelled orders it'd make no difference, Ford Aus would allocate it to the next person in line. Kinda more fair for those who ordered first, but BMW don't seem to be operating that way. Unlike Ford, it seems BMW let the car allocation be dictated by the dealers.

The 1M will be up for sale soon. For my intended use, the M2 is slightly better in every way, it'll cost me less, new car, warranty, free servicing. In the end it was an easy decision.

You're telling me. I am livid at the moment and I had to chase the salesman to get this information. I feel like they're shafting me but I am going to kick up a stink about this.
