Thumbs up My 2016 BMW M2 F87 Delivered in Abu Dhabi UAE!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I just took delivery of my 2016 BMW M2.

I was going to order my car with the options I want, but once I saw the car, I decided that waiting an additional 4 months was going to be hard.

Therefore, I picked up a car with a sunroof, DCT and Chrome line exterior.

The car sounds amazing, especially when compared with the previous F80 M3. Now, I can smile when switching up the car in the morning and not hear a rattle.

I will take more pics of the car, but had to travel and will be posting more when I am back in a week's time.


Excuse the quality, but all pics and videos were taken by a Galaxy S6







I added whatever videos I had since I am still traveling.....

You again?! What sorcery is this that one Arab guy gets his M's delivered way before the rest of the world?

Well, congrats, man. Enjoy the car(s).

WTF? I thought there was a hold until April 16? This is why I REFUSE to believe that unless BMW announces it on their web page. I hope this is true.

He also got the first F80 long before everyone and "supposedly" BMW got really mad at his dealership. I'm tempted to say now that it has happened twice, this is probably the marketing team at work.

I wouldn't expect your car to be able to be picked up before mid April like everyone else.

Haha, yeah.

As the guy above said, there's another car that has been delivered, in Lebanon. Either all the dealerships there do not give an F or there are different rules for continents or BMW does not have this under control again.

Lets demand the flood gates to be opened and deliver all cars as they arrive from now on. No point in holding the cars back if some of them are out already...

This. There's probably one BMW dealer in the UAE and people will pretty much pay anything out there. Doubt BMW corp will do anything.

I guess there is another one in Dubai also.
A black car which hasn't been delivered yet.

Now back to the car

Miss HUD
Seats are good
Sound is good
Gauges look normal at night but like a proper M in the morning

I will put the Vbox once am back
And
Probably take it to Dubai Autodrome on the 10th of March.

First upgrade will be braided lines and proper fluid but only after the track day.

This car looks properly W I D E

Love the stance

Congrats! What are the road manners like? Are you getting much drone in the cabin at cruising speeds. Any details would be great. Does sport mode change the interior noise level?

I don't think he got to "drive" it yet.

Oh, you mean, the dealership paid BMW AG to be the first one to deliver the car?

Drone? Dis ain't a dirty nasty low Civic hatch, bro.

A droning exhaust would be very unacceptable in a modern car - let alone a BMW.
