Just tired of the misinformation that gets spread on this forum. The OP's '18 M2 IS a US version, one of the first and he posted a pic of his satin finish interior just like the ones posted by the other LCI M2's. The black piano pic you saw was more than likely the LCI interior of a regular 2 series.

I hope someone else bought an '18 too, so we can double our odds against posts like this. Facts is facts, IMO. |

Definitely confusing for those who's car is in production with the EP only because the buyer wanted the 552. I almost think some kind of compensation should be provided, although I certainly wouldnt expect it.... Also, congrats on your delivery speed.. What is that.. about 5 wks from production completion to arrival at dealership? That definitely hits the most optimistic time frame given to me by the Genius... Cant wait!

Thanks! Yours is just around the corner...
Hard to understand what the deal is with the 552s - they were always there on my car, every step of the way. Production completion to arrival was unbelievable - 4 weeks. I wish I could say I planned it that way, but the dealer always said 6-8 weeks from original order to delivery. Last edited by Spa2k; 08-08-2017 at 05:57 PM.. Reason: Added Photos |

The OP's invoice lists "refrigerant" as "included." What a deal!!
Seriously, congratulations. Driving this car is a pleasure, so many happy miles are ahead... |

It wasn't a regular 2 series LCI pic.The official BMW Canada MY18 M2 ordering guide shows the piano black trim.It also shows the piano black trim when people put there MY18 M2 VIN number in the VIN decoder. |

There isn't any country that is getting the piano black trim.I was just showing that the pic ORIGIN M was talking about,is an official BMW pic showing the piano black trim in a MY18 M2.It wasn't a 2 series pic.There is obviously an error in the BMW M2 ordering guide and VIN info.

I'm going to bet you can request the black trim just as you can request black instead of the gay blue stitching. |

I'm also wondering how many people are looking at that picture in the Canadian order guide and not seeing where it says "New Interior Trim w/Chrome Application" Obviously the "carbon fiber" isn't chrome... but the part everyone keeps thinking is black could well be the "matte silver / matte chrome" but taken with a very shitty camera or bad lighting so it looks black (due to reflection of the interior / headliner). Assuming that is actually a photo and not a rendering... but again, if it's a rendering, a bad camera position or strange light angle can screw with the coloring, and then 1000's of detail-obsessed F87 people think that it's black.

Yes it was. This is the pic I was referring to (M240) which is from the official US BMW 2 series LCI press release. I tend to not put much weight in what other countries (i.e. Canada) get for options because they rarely apply to the US. This is common across all vehicle brands.
