So it is lighter than m3/4? Surprise surprise.

Doctor///M · 01-19-2016, 12:35 PM

Can't wait for the Houston Auto Show!!

Powaup · 01-19-2016, 12:55 PM

Looking forward to a side by side comparison with an M2 and another car in the segment with similar amounts of fluid inside.

Thanks for sharing OP

I don't get how this M2 could end up at Laguna Seca,when the OP already showed the shipping destination as being Houston Texas.

Truck & trailer? Train? The car is probably going to show up at the Houston Auto Show, then on to California.

Numbers in op are inaccurate, this car will weight close to 3300 lbs.

Big Tuna · 01-19-2016, 02:01 PM

Do you guys leave a door tag if the recipient isn't home or just leave it on the porch?

Maybe they add ballast at the dealership?

LA or Long Beach?

BMW just wastes money. They could have sent it to the Carolinas, ///W could have driven to Houston and we would all get an accurate report on the car. Magazine guys for the most part can't drive. If they could, there wouldn't be 2-3 cars written off at every event.

I'm 6'8", I fit great in a 228 with manual seat. Don't fit at all in a 235. I'm getting this and putting recaro sportsters in it moments later. Instant comfort and weight loss.

Pics look great. very accurate color.

E82's had a weight in the rear bumper to try to get them closer to 50/50 balance.

vasi_M3 · 01-19-2016, 02:59 PM

BMW already published weight numbers in excess of 3300 lbs and very close to 3400 lbs depending on configuration and market. US will get the pigs as always ala Alfa 4C

Port of LA or did it come thru via Oxnard?

Looks good but still waiting on Sakhir Orange or some other form of red & orange hues

They would need to have new sets of Michelin Pilot Super Sports waiting for the car in Houston if I got my hands on it first.

I really am looking forward to the reviews though (not by Steve Sutcliff though. ...)
