I went to Brussels yesterday and sat in the M2.
(FYI, I owned an Estoril Blue M235i auto few months ago). My feelings : - It looks better in real life - I definitely don't like the Long Beach Blue - It looks good, but I'm not "in love". Something is missing - The interior is pretty much identical to the M235i, excepted for the alcantara on the doors and the DCT knob. Availability : 1 YEAR YEP, that was May/June before the weekend. Now, the 130 M2 allocated for Belgium are sold out. We have to wait the beginning of 2017. They wanted to sell me a M3 or M4 with a good discount. But it's still 10-15.000€ more expensive. I think I'll go for a used low mileage F80 M3 instead |

It looks gorgeous. Even more than F80 M3 and F10 M5(proportionwise, not size) Cheers Robin |

That's ok, don't bother explaining , I'm sure he thinks production is " unlimited " and because it's being produced for more than one year.... the 5 year demand for this car will vanish and it will be easy to pick one of these up in 6 months. |

I think that the production time frame for the M2 is sufficiently long enough that there will be time for competion from other manufacturers to surface. I wouldn't be surprised if good deals on the M2 might be 2 years or less away. I met a guy at the gas station driving an M235 just like mine. He bought his a few months after its release and paid over MSRP because they were very difficult to get, wait lists etc. I bought mine 18 months later and was able to get 13% off of US MSRP by doing a European Delivery.

If I misunderstood his meaning that's fine. But for some reason because you've toured the factory you think this car will be as limited as or very close to the number of the 1M? I've actually worked at auto factory planning and there are lots they can do to increase production cap. Not saying they did made changes, but you telling everyone to get on a list now or they will never get one does not make sense. Especially it'll be at least four years of production. I actually agree to most of the stuff you say on here, but i think this is the one point we disagree. Guess we will see who's right soon enough Last edited by OG///M; 01-19-2016 at 01:06 PM.. |

I wonder if the f chassis JB4 will be compatible with the m2. I mean it's still a n55 engine and not a s55 so it could work, but I'm sure it's totally redone. So idk would be nice if it did.

Say no more.

Now that's a terrific achievement and some real "M"otoring passion!
A normal and ordinary car as a VW Golf has always had water temperature gauge and from about 2012 an electronic oil temperature reading accessible in the normal menu, an exquisite modern M generously (and with great relief) totally "spoils" his entitled public with this...

It looks to be just the water temp, oil temp rising will cost far more driving time to achieve 80 degrees Celsius, that is minimum oil temp for real sporty driving mode.
So far this gauge does not convince me what so ever, it loos a little pathetic for a M car ! |

Like this one better; http://www.insideperformance.de/en/d...-f22-f23_1297/ No thanks for the M Performance steering wheel I don`t like the "Christmas tree lighting" I don`t like the alcantara feel ( very artificial, swaetty feel ) I had the alcantara steering wheel in my Cayman GTS, good Lord, never ever again, give me the leather version anytime.....

The NET price ISN'T really low. I've live in the Netherlands and have done for fifteen years. The net price in Holland is quite a bit more than the UK and Germany, and you have a LOT less standard on the car too. Netherlands NET price for M3 = EUR 68,538 Germany NET price for M3 = EUR 60,000 UK NET price for M3 = EUR 59,772 (at current exchange rates) So the UK price is nearly EUR 10,000 LESS than in Holland, and the UK car comes with most of the options standard. The Dutch car you have to spec quite a lot to get to the same equipment as the UK car. And yet I could walk into a UK dealer and get 10-15% discount on that NET price. It just doesn't make sense. |

Not planning on getting "ouwe koeien uit de sloot", but in the end the calculations I did with a car trading and buying specialist showed something totally different at the end of 2014. MR |

Importing tax free uk car in to Belgium.

With the exchange rate changing the difference wasn't that big any more so I bought another f80 at my local dealer. I also ordered their HEA demo M2 car. With the exchange rates changing the last few weeks the U.K. Route is getting interesting again. So I mailed my uk contact for a price quote and eta yesterday and got this answer: "If ordered now the delivery date will definitely be 2017, and there will be no discounts. There are still the same discounts on M3/M4. " So getting an M2 will definitely be much harder than getting an M3/M4. Just saying. Let alone getting the same deals as I got on M3/M4. If anyone is interested in the UK route, you can send me a PM. |

I'm British and have ordered my M2 in the UK. July delivery. I just don't know why the same discounts from the dealers in the UK are not available from the dealers in Holland. |
