Hey Folks,
Very proud new owner of a 2019 Hockenheim Silver M2C DCT: Executive package, Black w/ Blue Stitch, Carbon Fiber Spoiler, Carbon Fiber Mirror caps. Picked her up last night with 6 miles on the odometer from a dealer up in the Bay Area without even taking a test drive. I did not special order this, nor was I ever intending to get a BMW. Full discloser, I've been driving Audi's for the past 10 years and was planning on picking up an RS3 until someone in my office said check out the M2C. Well, the rest is history. I'm coming from a modded 2016 S5 6spd. I've only put about 40 miles on the clock but so far WOW. I do miss the low end/instant acceleration in the supercharged engine but holy hell this thing is an animal towards the upper RPMS. Handling and precision, not even a comparison between the two... the S5 is a big fat floating pig. More pics to come, but here it is! UPDATE (2/28/23): New shoes! Here's an official updated w/ pics and a list of progress on the build since taking ownership last March. I'm having an absolute blast driving around and it doesn't look bad standing still either . Enjoy! 763’s Poder coated- Prismatic Grey Evo MPerf Coilovers MPerf Front Lip MPerf Interior kit - alcantara/carbon shifter and brake handle Remus Sport Exhaust w/ Carbon tips AA Mid pipe Mishimoto Catch can Xpel PPF - Full front and larger rear panels 13% Tint all around F&R reflector deletes Various Bimmercode tweaks Last edited by AZ-Wildcat; 06-05-2020 at 11:39 AM.. |

Nice, unlike you I've been waiting for this car for a long time haha and can't wait to enjoy it! Great looking car, similar to how I've spec'd my 2020MY.

That is exactly what I wanted to order but tough to get an allocation right now and you found one on the other side of the USA!! Congratulations! Fox Alpha all the way!

Thanks all!
Super stoked on this thing, I live really close to my office so I've only been able to put about 120 miles on but man, I'm just blown away. Truly a sports car vs the S5. |

Congratulations!
I just ordered a very similar spec (HS, no sunroof, executive package, dark wheels, 6MT). First mods will be tints, cf spoiler and mirror caps, and reflector deletes. Please, post more pictures!!! |

Per your request
Here are a few shots post tinting. Went with 13% all around for those who are curious on how dark it looks in sunlight vs inside. I'm glad I went with this shade, really pops! More crappy cell phone pics to come, but hopefully better background next time. |

Fox Alpha! The CF bits are nice against the HS paint.

congrats - great spec
I came into my OG M2 DCT from a 2007 RS4. I do miss it but got sick of the manual in traffic. All kinds of things annoy me about the RS3 starting w/ the A3 body and the tiny rear brakes - you made the right choice!

I have yet to see the color in person. Does it look like the Porsche "chalk" color?

Looks great but 13% tint that's a guaranteed pull over her in the DMV area
