New to me M2!!

Picked up a lightly used (at least by miles) M2 2018 DCT a couple days ago and thought I’d introduce myself and my car. Other than a carbon spoiler and maybe swapping the mirrors I honestly don’t think this car needs a thing. Loving it so far.

That was definitely part of the draw. I like the feeling of a limited car or exclusivity

I'll say! I see plenty of M3's and M4's around here, but I feel like I'm driving something very exclusive around town and through the area hills. Kinda fun!

Welcome to the M2 club, OP! This is a very nice community to be a part of.

Thank you all for the welcomes! So an old family friend has had BMW’s for like 20+ years and when my daughter saw him after a lacrosse game and showed him a picture apparently he said “whoa, a real M2!!” Haha. Just made me feel like I definitely bought something special

Just for fun. I looked up US sales of 2018 Black M2s. Total 292 with 141 being DCT. You do have a rare car. Black was the rarest color in 2018.

Looks grey to me, unless it's editing or lighting of the picture.

Congrats!

I don't have a rare color, and drive for a living, but have only seen one other in the 3 years I've owned the car. Just not a lot of them around vs other cars. I see more Porsche's for sure, which seems odd to me, but true.

Interesting what particular area do you live in if you don't mind me asking

Blue was the number one choice because it was the launch color

White was the second choice because it was free and it's classic alpine white

Congrats. I’m 1.5yrs into ownership and the love affair has only gotten stronger. It’s a keeper, regardless of what Porsche may come along in my life.

I live in Missouri, but drive in all the neighboring states (Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana and rarely OK and KS). I drive about 15,000 miles a year for work, and average about 25 days a year. I rarely see M cars at all when driving, but when I do they usually make an impression.

(Feel free to ignore if this is too close to thread-jacking.)

How did you look up these stats?

That's cool

It's nice to be unusual

I don't see very many OG M2's

I do see quite a few M2 Competitions
