LBB At Toronto Auto Show
I went to the Toronto Auto Show today to see the M2.They had another LBB M2,which I was happy to see,because that is the colour that I ordered.I have always liked the design of the car in pictures but it looks even better in person.The only problem was that BMW Canada wasn't letting anyone into the car and they said they won't be opening the car during the show.Apparently they are selling it after the auto shows and they don't want to get the interior worn out.The funny thing is that the right side rear tail light already needs to be replaced because there is condensation inside the light housing.I guess it must have a defective seal.It seems kind of ridiculous to not let anyone in the car,when 2 years ago they were letting everyone sit in the M3 and M4 at the show and that was before they were officially launched.It was still great to finally get to see the car.
Here are some pics. |

Hey I was able to sit inside on media day, it was quite nice. I didn't like the seats that much though.
See my thread here for video: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1225580 |

Note: I was able to have the car opened at the Montreal Auto Show. I told them I ordered the car and wanted to sit in it. |

It was actually because of what you did Benzima that I told the rep the same thing to get him to unlock the car but no dice. Said can't because it has not been officially released/launched in Canada yet. I noticed the condensation too lol ...the Montreal boys didn't take good care Of her Guess it will be the first m2 warranty claim. Lol I will echo many of you and say the car looks a tonne better in person. Just wanted to drive off with it today! |

I drove to Detroit to see it. Will probably go to the show in T.O to check it out again along with some other cars. Your right it does look way better in person. Just trying to decide when the best time is to go without having to squeeze through 100 people humping it

Regarding the condensation, I would blame BMW for poor quality and not my city. |

I have to admit that the challenge when opening a "restricted" car during a car show is to close it without a bunch of "curious" want to sit in it. I had to lock the car while sitting inside and the BMW representative had to ensure I was able to get out without being ramed by people trying to sneak in. |

If you want them to unlock the car so you can sit in it, here's what I recommend (assuming you already ordered the car)
1- Before going to the show call your SA and let him know you are going to the show and would like to sit in the car and ask him which SA from your dealer will be there the day you are going (each dealer will have at least 1 SA present at the show at any time). Note his name down and ask your SA to let him know your ask. 2- At the show go the BMW kiosk, ask for the person in question and he should be able to unlock the car since you ordered the car from that dealership. This is what my SA recommended and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps |
