How often do you see other M2s?

Where in southern NL are you? You may see my American plated car there next summer. Going to do a long trip there next summer and since no euro delivery, I will do it myself haha.

That's awesome! I'm in Limburg just outside of Maastricht. A lot of great roads here (compared to Holland). Swing by Limburg and we'll hit some back roads

Wait, what? The M2C has a seatbelt pretensioner?

csg · 04-15-2021, 12:01 AM

nearly every day! Here at Aviano AB in Italy, there are FIVE (5!) HS M2C's, my boss has a LBB M2C, and there is another Black M2C on base as well. If you include the OG M2s on base, there are over a dozen M2s rolling around. It's awesome! You can thank the military sales program for that one

Literally every car since 2008 has them in the front seats, at least in the US.

TheoIam · 04-15-2021, 12:51 PM

In the Marin county part of the Bay Area never until the last two weeks. I have seen a SO M2C driving around my area twice now. He must of just gotten it recently. The second time was yesterday when I saw him on the freeway close to my place and waved. He smiled and waved back.

For BMWs it goes back a good bit farther than that. I know E46s had them for example.

M2C, maybe daily if I open the garage for the Alpine White 1:1 model, or the storage room for the Alpine White 1:18.

Otherwise in real life in the streets, about once a month.

As far as the new Supra, probably twice a week or more.

GTRicky · 04-15-2021, 07:58 PM

I've seen them occasionally around my area. Funny enough someone a street over from me in Chandler, AZ has a LBB OG M2 I think they recently bought as I've only seen it this past month after I ordered my LBB M2C. Fun to have a twin in the area.

I had a loaner (M340) recently that it could be absolutely felt but not so in my ride.

I've seen a Hock silver in Marin, black in North bay, other than that I haven't seen many M2 in my area.

The HS in Marin is most likely me. Lol. I have only seen one other M2 locally in SO. You ever hit up cars and coffee in Novato?

CannibalOx · 04-16-2021, 11:03 AM

I have only seen one. It was another LLB Comp. RWD cars aren't super popular in Utah. I see a lot more Audi RS's than M cars. I did see a new G80 rolling around the other day.

21M2 · 04-16-2021, 01:30 PM

I was in Marin a couple weeks ago and saw two within a mile of each other both parked.

21M2 · 04-16-2021, 01:31 PM

They were both M2's not M2C's though.

popcornten · 04-16-2021, 03:13 PM

Very interesting to see all the replies - I had no idea they were as rare as they appear to be when I ordered my car. I guess that should be good for resale going forward.

Another week on from my order and I still haven’t seen one out and about. I did spot a 50th anniversary 991.1.

bearminimum · 04-16-2021, 03:25 PM

I've seen a LBB m2 (no idea if comp) going into my town, but we always go in opposite directions. I've also seen a SO m2c parked on the streets of Palo Alto pretty often

The roads in the Ardennes are indeed great. Is that what you mean by roads compared to Holland or do you mean the provinces of North/South Holland? BE roads are not the best quality though, at least compared to NL.

I didn't know Novato had a C&C, where and when?

Every first Sunday of the Month off Roland Blvd in the Costco shopping center in front of Starbucks. It was quiet for awhile from COVID but it was PACKED last Sunday.
