Just got a call saying my build slot has been pushed back month....VERY ANNOYED.
Has this happened to anyone else? Apparently BMW have reshuffled build slots and adjusted allocations....as I always am, but sceptical it's BS...but I do have a good relationship with the Dealer... Anyone else has similar news? |

Had mine since end of April and put on 1900klm. Although 800klm of that mileage was to drive it home from pick up at the showroom.

It's sort of my own fault, I put my name down on the pre-order list, then dragged my feet / umm and ahhh'd for too long, and as a result got a July build, which is now August. Better not change again! Sold my car already and the Toyota Corolla hire car is getting unbearable.. |

She's here and she's glorious.
Had a good run in her today and loved it- very different to my old E92 M3- I'd go as far to say it's more fun, but I need a few more drives to give a better verdict. |

What polish do you use. You car looks so glossy. I set up my Idrive system on the BMW site so I can receive Emails but it annoys me that it can only be done while the car is still. Love driving it up the main drag in Sport+ mode and changing down gears with the paddles to hear the explosive throttle blip which echoes around the street. |

I had Opti-coat Pro + applied to the paint work, makes it easier to clean and gives it that nice glossy look. I guess it's a safety issue, I'm finding even if I'm stationary though at lights it still won't let me read text messages for some reason, does the car have to be off? |

Hey Prodigy and TG with the messages pretty sure the car hast to be in neutral or park to read messages out.
Well it's been about 2 weeks since I picked the car up and am still nursing it through the painful first 2000 kms trying to vary loads and rpms etc but I can feel the engine getting smoother so I'm now up to 550kms . So far the car has exceeded my expectations by far, I was looking for a car that was as fun to drive as the E92 M3 but also with a little more torque than the E92 to get out of corners (or spinning wheels up) that tiny bit faster. The M2 is such a fun car to drive it is one of those cars that really does have a sense of occasion when you drive it, you know whenever you get behind the wheel its going to be a a great drive because the M2 feels agile and playful. That's not to say its perfect my only gripes are the seating position is a little high for my taste, the lack of an oil temperature gauge and it's not really a gripe but the steering is not as telegraphic as an E92 M3 but that being said it's like saying that a boxer is like floyd when you want Ali. So it ain't bad but when the last M3 was so good it's hard to take. But I will say it's miles better than steering in the F80 M3 as I have spent a bit of time in an F80 before getting the M2. The F80 M3 feels like driving a missile it like hang on and try keep it straight, whereas the M2 will allow you to play with it and change line in that corner its never intimidating in the way the F80 M3 is. So the M2 has really delivered what I wanted in a car, I wanted a car that was useable and drivable and never felt like it wanted to kill me a car where you did more than just light the wick and hang on. These are my thoughts so far and I am learning more about how this car everyday but I think I am going to have to reserve final judgement until I get the car out on track. I have joined the BMW drivers club of NSW and as soon as I get through my 2000kms I will start doing some of their events so I'm really looking forward to that. |
