That is awesome. Congratulations.

Oh, you did say it had been a demo, so that makes more sense. How many miles on the LCI when you got it?

[Razors08135i]

The LCI was brand new, a buyer backed out int the middle of the build so I was able to select color and packages

That’s correct... military discount. Figured I’d take advantage of it one more time with my Competition

EDIT - the situations are also completely different. When the M2 was released, BMW also artificially limited production...after making the formally limited 1M. Of course there was going to be a very high demand...compare that with the M2C, which is more of an update, rather than a replacement...which comes along after two updates to the OG M2. And you’re surprised demand is softer?

Trust me, it’s not because the OG M2 is “better”.

I am not surprised at all that the demand is softer, for many of the reasons you mention, and also because the reviews haven't been as "hyped" as the ones for the OG, which again makes sense since a lot of people see the M2C as another refresh and not as an "All New" model, even though many of the components are new...at least to the M2 anyway - not new to the market however as all of these parts can be found in the outgoing F8x cars. As I mentioned, I am not saying one is "better" than the other as it depends what you want/need out of the car. You clearly prefer one over the other, I assume because it better meets your needs/wants, but don't assume this is true for everyone.

I don't really have a preference - we have an OG LCI in the stable, and I have the S55 in my F80. I have been tempted to jump to one of the many OGs that are discounted...but I think I would miss the power of the S55. It really is a beast of an engine.

Good choices to have, really.

Wow that's unreal! Which dealer was that at and when?

[Razors08135i]

I bought my LCI at Euler BMW and my Competition at Bavarian Motors

No, it's just a regular discount I was offered. I've known dealership for a while and have a good relationship.
