No reason for BMW to cause issues with the masses and they help feed a healthy aftermarket... one so large that they decided to get a cut of it by developing M performance parts... No shame in that game... It's no different with Porsche... they sell aftermarket spring and shock kits and exhaust systems ....

BMW is just fashionably late to the aftermarket party

I don't like the comfort/sport/sport + thing

Wish they did it like the M3 and I really miss a programmable M button.

Bkue stitching is nice too but I need to see if I can get some nice Recaro Pole Positions with blue stitching, that will look awesome.

There is no drone on the car

I have to now wait for a week till I come back and drive more.

She needs a proper photo shoot.

Wish BMW spent some time in adding more leather/alcantara. The dash pod looked good on my 1M since it was covered in Alcantara.
As a 2016 M235 owner the car inside is about 100% the same..i was looking at changing my door panels out and the hand break..along with the center console. .any way where i am going with this is the sport sport + thing..i find the best setting is go into the idrive
And change the sport setting to keep the suspension in comfort mode and the drive line in sport.. then let sport+ mode be the crazy mode..because in the sport mode you can always just turn off the traction control with the button

Congrats!

Before your tires get dirty, you should move the 265 to the front and toss a 285 on the rear!

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.

reminds me of that south park episode where cartman got HIV- they went to magic johnson who had the cure. He put money in a blender and that was the cure.

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.
Hope so. Bollocks to the powers above, nice car, fella

I would love to hear your impressions between the 1M and M2.

Wait what... you sold an F80 M3 and kept a cheap little 1M AND bought an el cheapo M2 ?

you do realize you now have no credibility here.. because like.. no one does that... Perhaps you need to get an M4 just to be sure?
M3 Adjuster..OP sold his F80 because it was DCT and needed space to park other 'toys'. He is a big manual guy. Hence E30 M3s, 6spd E90, 1M, Boss302, and few others. We will see how long he will keep DCT M2. :thump:

I'm surprised you sold f80. It sounded like you liked it more than 1M back when bought it? Would love to hear why you kept it and now that you have the M2 will you sell the 1?

This makes me sad..

My ordered f82 with moonroof is boarding a ship as we speak... not gonna lie, it was real tough passing up the cf roof.. tho coming from an e93, it just seemed like too big of a leap not to see the sky in any aspect...

Damn u did it again! Congrats

Honestly I'm scared to live without CF roof and especially HUD. Do you plan on buying the electronic steering wheel to cop with the loss of HUD? I think it would be a must for me

Scared to live without carbon roof and a HUD? I've never of anyone referring to those options as pretty much life threatening to live without!
