How often do you see other M2s?

popcornten · 04-11-2021, 08:14 PM

Ever since I got serious about the M2C a couple weeks back I haven’t seen a single M2 of any kind out and about. Live in a massive city and I drive a ton but I guess they’re just rarer than I thought...? I saw two 981 Boxster Spyders, a 720S and an M3CS in the last two days which I figured would be way rarer to spot.

BigKutta · 04-11-2021, 08:24 PM

Maybe one every 2 weeks or so. And I think it's usually the same LBB that lives nearby so I cross paths. If not for him, I'd see one once a month maybe. And I live in a large, dense metro area.

DanG · 04-11-2021, 08:32 PM

I almost never see another M2. Maybe one every six months or so.

JustinHEMI · 04-11-2021, 08:46 PM

Once here in Western PA.

Was it me? I have an Alpine white. Saw a really nice looking Alpine White near the Meadows Casino when I was taking my E90 M3 to Bobby Rahal to trade it for my M2C. Haven't seen one since. I see an OG M2 in Morgantown sometimes.

marcw · 04-11-2021, 09:10 PM

I saw six yesterday, but it doesn't really count as I was at a BMWCCA event

GarageMadness · 04-11-2021, 11:59 PM

Rarely in the wild. Except for track days.

What's the color in the middle? San Marino Blue wrap?

It was another LBB in the robinson area years ago.

dkr · 04-12-2021, 04:54 AM

Before I got mine: Rarely. Once or twice a month.
Since I got mine: Every fucking day. Multiple times a day.

CSBM5 · 04-12-2021, 05:13 AM

I saw over 20 of them Saturday including 5 CS' (nice to compare Misano blue to LBB side-by-side). This of course was at the BMW CCA MX1 C&C event nearby at CCA HQ. We had a pre-production 1M in our group also. Add in about 30 F8x, 20 E9x M3s, a couple of E60 M5s, 5 E39 M5s, maybe 10 E46 M3s, 10 E36 M3s, 6-8 E30 M3s, plus G80 and G82 and maybe 50-60 X's of all types from X1 through X3M/X5M and X7 Alpina, some Z4M and Z3Ms, and a bunch of other BMWs --- huge turnout and great fun!

cb804 · 04-12-2021, 06:11 AM

Not that often, maybe 1 once a month I will see another M2. That's fine with me. Makes my car seem more unique.

aftercorbu · 04-12-2021, 06:32 AM

I have seen one other in the wild. Well actually it was in dealer service parking after my HS was ready to pick up after replaced driver’s seatbelt pretensioner. I walked up to it thinking was mine ready to bring the car home.

dmcM2C · 04-12-2021, 06:42 AM

I've never seen one in the town/rural area I live in. A few m3/m5 and other brands of nice cars. But if I make a trip up to Columbus for cars &coffee I usually see a few.

jkoral · 04-12-2021, 07:00 AM

Very rarely, not even once a month.

When driving my OG M2, I've never come across another M2. The occasional times I've seen one I'm usually driving the family SUV.

Gizmo 335i · 04-12-2021, 07:33 AM

Pretty rare here. There are 2 whites and a LMB I see very infrequently.

nearwater4me · 04-12-2021, 08:21 AM

I've seen maybe 3 in the past year or so, but saw an LBB & HS M2C over the weekend.
Not sure if it's the warm weather bringing out the garage queens, or if the M2s gotten more popular.

Were you in Danvers yesterday? I was in the wife's Lexus heading to Ira Lexus.

I think I've seen 2-3 on the road since I've purchased mine in September.

///MPhatic · 04-12-2021, 10:07 AM

There's an HS Comp in my town, but I've only seen it 3 times in 2 years, including the time we met to hang out.

There was a LBB in my town for a bit as well, it had California plates. My friend left a note on it for him to contact me, but he never did.

pz619 · 04-12-2021, 10:14 AM

Pretty much every day, especially if I’m on anything longer than a grocery run. It’s a popular car in so cal.

Not me. The pandemic turned my daily driver into a garage queen, 2K miles driven in 2020.
