Just saw my first M2c in the flesh

Tag · 07-30-2018, 03:04 PM

At first I thought it was HS, because it was awfully white. Turned out to be AW instead, thank God. It has the seats with blue stitching and in sunlight they didn’t look as loud as in pics. I asked the service guy whom was taking it to gas up to put it in Sport+ and rev it. It was loud! Definitley did t have the low rumble of the outgoing M2, but didn’t sound as bad as an M3/4 IMO. Trying to see if I can test drive it. Wish me luck...

Yes, confirmed the muffler is the same and hangs low.

They're not delivering in the US yet are they? Could this be one of the circus tour M2C's that are being sent around to dealerships? Which dealer is it since I'm also local?

Bill Jacobs. It’s sitting out front now if you want to check it out. The wheels really let down the car. They’re awful looking IMO.

They wouldn’t let me test drive unless I was serious buyer.

Little did they know I have one on order already.

Sorry, I didn’t get a chance to. It all happened so fast. I was sitting outside when I spotted it. Looked like it was just delivered. I ran up to check it out and then the service guy had to go gas it up. It sounded good driving off at low RPM, better than expected. Wish I had more time to hear the exhaust. Was hoping he’d give it the beans when driving off, but he didn’t fulfill my request. That bastard.

I would have loved to meet up, but I’m already heading back into the city and in heavy traffic.
