I also had serious concerns about the torque converter issues that GM can't seem to figure out after 5 years! This is only an issue with the A8 tranny.
Anyway, saw the M2 at the local BMW dealer and did some research on them. Test drove it, thought about it and made the trade. I haven't driven it much yet. It's a manual, which I regretted not getting in the GS. It has the MPE, which I love, but I wish I didn't have to turn it on with a switch.
So far my main issue with the M2 is the lack of easy exit seats (where the seat slides back a bit when you shut the car off). I'm only 5'2, so I have to slide way up to reach the pedals and getting out without pushing the seat back is kind of a pain.
Anyway, the M2 seems like a great little car and I'm excited to get to know it a little better. I've been soaking in the forum so I can learn all the language, etc.
Just wanted to introduce myself  I tried to add pics but the files were too large. |
The car can be "coded" via an app or computer or someone you pay to slide the seat back when you get out I think. Of course this will crush anyone sitting behind you....
Search the bimmercode thread on the nav forum or ask in that thread how to do it. Will cost you like $40 to do it yourself with the app and OBD reader. Not sure how much to pay someone.
