Secured my first-ever new BMW build
Yesterday, I finally secured my new 2021 M2 Competition build. The spec is:
- Hockenheim silver
- 6-spd manual
- orange stitching
- carbon fiber trim
- executive pack
- black wheels
- slicktop
I owned an AW 98 M3/4/5 and an AW 04 M3 manual coupe for many years. However, I bought those cars used and never actually got to configure my own, even though the e46 M3 was a slicktop, which was a rarity back in the day. Having said that, I owned only 3 BMW's in my lifetime and all 3 were ///M cars.
Given the M2 wheelbase length is nearly identical to the e36 M3, I'm excited. I considered the F80 M3 for a while. Then, I started looking into the Caymans, but both seemed overpriced, relatively speaking. I never imagined that for the price of a slightly used 2018 M3 with low miles, I could basically get a brand new 2021 M2. I know that it's apples and oranges, but to me, cross-shopping these vehicles made sense.
