Proud NEW Owner- 2020 BMW M2 Competition

FrozenGT · 02-25-2020, 06:18 AM

Hello All,

Just picked up my very first BMW coming from long line Infiniti. 2008 350 Nismo - 2011 G37S -2013 G37 IPL - 2018 Q50 Red Sport. The M2C was not my first choice and my original plan was to order the MY20 Z4 M40il. Then I started looking at and test drove a few 2020 M4. 6MT then DCT. I had the opportunity to pickup MY20 M4 Heritage in Blue. After I test drove 2 different M2C. Made my mind to get the M2C in Black sapphire metallic fully loaded. They had a white one with the M Drivers Package- but after researching what that was for $2500 I found the black one with 8 miles that had everything I wanted with sunroof.

I'm very happy- it's such a beautiful car all round very addictive looking and perfect M car in my eyes.

The car sitting in my garage waiting to go back to the dealer for a few add-On tomorrow.

PPF- install for the front end
XPEL FUSION PLUS Ceramic Coating

Here are some quick pics- I did not let the dealer wash my car. So it's a little dirty.

Congrats! How was the Q50? Doesn't sound like you had her for very long.

Sarg33 · 02-25-2020, 06:25 AM

Congrats and welcome to the BMW club. The M2C is my first BMW as well. Enjoy and be safe out there.

Its not bad car- I really liked VR engine making 400HP. It's not bad car for every day driving. Mine was AWD- down side is the tech and touch screens and slow transmission.

Congrats, great choice. I too wanted to consider a Z4 M40, but couldn't even get myself to steer in that direction. My heart was set on the M2 since I saw it.

You have some great driving roads out your way past Ashburn. You should hit the twisties to break her in. I'm sure I'll see you in NoVa some time

Yes absolutely- I'm looking forward to taking down skyline drive. I'm actually going to be at Kate's car and coffee this coming Saturday morning. You should check it out!

Yes absolutely- hopefully the car will be ready Friday evening for pickup. It's getting PPF and ceramic coating done.

Hah- the black is not really black as you can see all the flakes. I'm going to be using AMMO and CG to help pop the paint.

Janerz · 02-25-2020, 12:22 PM

Congrats

Moflow · 02-25-2020, 01:11 PM

Congrats! A few of us on here come from the Nissan world. I had a 350Z for 13+ years before buying this car.

Conissah · 02-25-2020, 01:26 PM

I too came from the VQ world. First car I bought myself at 18 was an 03 G35. Kept it for a little over 5 years, and sold it shortly after getting the M2.

Welcome! What interior trim did you go with, carbon or piano black? What color stitching did you get?

xxyion · 02-25-2020, 02:06 PM

Congrats! I just picked up a BSM M2C myself this weekend. I LOVE the black on this car it just looks so MEAN!!!!

Mine had the DCT. I have owned 3 Manuel's in my past cars also test drove an 2020 M4 6MT. I know I know- but I'm old lol. I really liked the feeling of the DCT.

MystroX5 · 02-26-2020, 01:55 PM

Beautiful car. You are going to love it. Special congrats for a special car.

I was strongly considering a manual for the M2, going back to manual after 20 years. But I don't regret getting the DCT. It is a great transmission and I am shifting "manually" all the time anyway. I often wonder how I would feel if I have to use a third pedal all the time after all these years...

I was reading somewhere that the DCT allows the car to extract all the power from the S55.

Also I have been hearing about crank hub failures?

Crank hub failures are rare, and generally impacting tuned cars where the HP boost is significant.
