M2 owners' average age?

MYK · 05-05-2016, 11:13 AM

I'm 36 and quite curious about this. Not implying anything, just would like to know what's the average age of M2 owners/future owners that are also on here. I think the car appeals to both the younger generation and the older M3 veterans. I'm coming from a Stingray C7 and an f10 M5 before that.

I'm 61 and plan to go out with my right foot on the floor and hair on fire... driving an M2.

Interesting that BMW is targeting this model at a younger demographic.

That is mostly down to the cost of the car. In general younger people have less money to spend and want a cheaper car. It is also smaller and that might be problem for older people (30+) that might have a family etc.

I'm 34. I wish I was younger when I bought this car but I would also probably have ruined it as well. Lol

guurl, so true! I'm 34 and this car feels totally appropriate for a 30-year old. plus I feel like life is so much better in your 30's. you're wiser, you've got more money, better taste, and overall more class (at least most dudes)
