My first M Car - took delivery yesterday :)
Hi all, newb and first post.
Well I didn’t spend months choosing and reading up on the M2 like I usually would. This was an impulse buy following a week of watching YouTube clips and hearing the noise produced by the M2 I wanted to have one. So this week started to look, found one on Tuesday and did the px for my 4 series m performed pack loaded car and took delivery of my new M2 Friday. I’m not sure this even was a great deal or average deal but my thinking was grab one in December while sales are low and hoping I got a good deal.. - any comments would be welcome on this to put my mind a rest! So paid £43,800 for this pre registered car with delivery mileage and I understand it’s the LCI version with new dash and led rear lights. Also got the auto 7 speed box Extras that came with the car in the price were 1 Heated front and electric seats driver memory 2 Harmon sound system 3 Reversing Cam 4 sun protection glass rear 5 Electric folding mirrors 6 Black wing m badge 7 front carbon winglets 8 carbon gear knob, handbrake & alcantara center console surrounding gear knob 9 Carbon steering wheel insert 10 Carbon wing mirror covers Didn’t even realise I was getting the carbon interior stuff and wing mirror covers so that’s was a nice little surprise there. I added the rear carbon winglets to the car as an extra to balance the look. So I super pleased with the car just need to run it. Can’t stop smiling and the Mrs keeps asking why I keep opening the windows when driving as it bloody freezing... Anyway without pics this thread means nothing so hopefully these will attatch below and your thoughts welcome.. did I do good or just average normal deal? Either way it doesn’t really matter it’s here now and I’m looking forward to driving it and gaining knowledge from this forum Cheers |

Thanks for your comments guys much appreciated.
Yeah I do want to get a carbon rear spoiler, I like the Vorsteiner one the most but unsure if anyone in the uk stock these. I love the look of them the most, they seem to just fit well and fit the look at the back. Maybe do the rear diffuser too but did think would this be wrapped? Possibly frowned upon but I did wonder given the location is more discrete if I could get away with it... |

One thing I did notice that I need to look into is my old car I could set sport dials as a short cut to say button 8 on the radio, tried to do this with the M2 and it says not saved for some reason. Maybe I should read the manual one eve... |

Short cuts maybe different but on the 4 series you’d find the chosen display and simply hold the numbered button down until it saved. So could have a selection of radio stations / local weather and lastly sport dials. I’m not able to do this for some reason. Anyway not the biggest drama around. |

I’d seen the carbon steering wheel insert before in pics but thought it was aftermarket for some reason. Nice little surprise to see that, the carbon wing mirrors and handbrake/gear knob. Thing is non of these were shown in the advert pics on autotrader so the dealer must have used generic pics. Bonus! What colour did you go for? |

On a negative note I did scuff a curb today and I’m super careful with me wheels 2 days in 120miles and I’ve scratched a small area on the rim lip. A bit gutted but put it down to my new fat rear and mis judged it. Anyway worse things happen so all good |

There are lots of pics of diffisurs here. http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1424731 I also quite like the Vorsteiner front lip but I don't want to scrape it so I probably won't buy a front lip. |
