I think I may have a problem...

I named my M2C "Hips". My wife calls it "The Bitch", her competition.

Does a Walmart parking lot count. lol
Because I have taken photos of my car in one, not noir style, but...

And you have captured the best shade of chalk! Wow, spectacular!

Also did you move positions from one photo to the next?

No, same spot. These pictures are from the Spring, and I am amazed that throughout the summer, the chalk shade mostly disappeared and the beast looked white and silver. Now that it is fall again, I'm starting to see chalk more and more. Currently my car has a thick layer of brake dust because I haven't washed it and have taken some very nice drives through the twisties. Time to wash this weekend!

When I was ordering my EC-7 wheels, I originally chose Anthracite. Not because I LIKED it best, but because it was closest to the color of brake dust.

Ended up with black, but at the moment they look pretty Anthracite to me...

I really lusted over the E46 M3 in my teenage years. This M2C is the car that I thought I was getting when I bought my F80 (which turned out to be overall just too big and too numb), and so far is the closest thing I've experienced to my friend's E46 that I got to drive from time to time back in the days.

I'm excited to get into my M2C start it and drive off happy every time. I've owned some very very special cars and loved most of them but my M2C is a joy. I guess that's not surprising.

SO appreciate this comment. It pretty much sums up nearly every time I drive mine and yes, I always turn around and look at it when walking away. I've had mine for nearly a year and a half and I can't wait to hooligan around in it every time I get in it. I think the saving grace is the stealthiness of the HS and black trim. Still need an appropriate name for her however...

2 years today. And yes, I still look back.

I love this car.

I also own a Z3M Coupe (S50) and this thing is completely different.

I'm from the UK and most of the roads here are pretty awful - lots of potholes to avoid popping those 763Ms!!!

I spent some time this week in the Isle of Wight with fast roads comprising hills and a blend of tight and sweeping corners. The M2C is such a hoot to drive quickly. Sure footed and confidence inspiring, you can really lean into the corners - and I've yet to try in MDM / DSC off mode. I absolutely love it.

Yep. Test drove a HS 2020. Surprised by the power and response. Drove home in my Cayman and put it up for sale. Couldn't wait after a LBB showed up at a local dealer so I bought it --- finally sold the Cayman this weekend. Hopefully, by next weekend I can park it in the garage.

You're not the first one on this forum to sell a cayman after getting the M2C. Another member did the same thing, which really shows how incredible the M2C really is, even with more practicality

The li'l beast has been cooped up in the garage for the last 4 days because of the snow/ice we got last week. This morning I was up at 5:30 and the road dried up yesterday (or so I thought), so I decided to get in the beast and go have fun. Well, we started getting a wintry mix for an hour while I was out, but it was a great time to play on wet, empty roads, doing some slides on the winter tires. One year in and I still have the same excitement for this car. What a playful car, full of character and personality!

Nice, glad you got it out.

I chose to forego winter wheels and tires this year, so I'm suffering the winter blues already. Haven't had mine out in 2 weeks...desperately watching the forecast for that next day of sun and 50 degrees...

Winter wheels were the best move ever. It was torture to drive another car for 4 days.

agreed I still really enjoy every drive with this car, and surprisingly a good chunk of the enjoyment comes from the character and SOUND of the engine as I rev it with the windows cracked open...I did not expect to enjoy that aspect of this car that much, the S55 is a sweet engine something I've come to appreciate more and more as I have lived with the car for some time.

I had MPE on my m240i, but the b58 never engaged me like the s55 does

[LEET414]

This. I've had a number of fun cars (e.g. B8 S4, F90 M5, W205 C63S, R35 GTR, 991.1 GT3) and it feels closest to a "goldilocks car" for me. In other words, the other cars were all high performance but some of the cars had a numb driving experience while others were challenging to fully enjoy on public roads without getting excessive speeding tickets. With the M2, I can drive in relatively slow traffic enjoying the sound of the engine and exhaust and then when things clear up, I can easily send the tail out and have some fun without going 100+ mph. Haven't tracked the car yet but looking forward to that once the weather warms up!
