M2 Purchase and Cross-Country Roadtrip

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I've had my eye on OG M2's for quite a while now. I came very close to purchasing one back in 2018, but ended up with a Mustang GT350 instead. I wouldn't say I have any regrets either way, they're completely different cars, but as the GT350 is gone my quest for an OG M2 resumed.

I ended up finding this car in San Diego. Extremely well cared for by the previous owner(s). I feel fortunate to have come across it as I wanted an unmolested manual, and this car delivers.

I documented my car buying experience and road trip in a video and I'd love to hear what you all think!

I fully agree that the OG M2 is a very unique car. I bought a 2017 Space Gray F87 M2 with the DCT back in 2020 for $37k & it had about 28k miles on it. So these hold their value well. Congratulations man. The N55 sounds better than the S55 ever will too!

Congrats to the purchase but I must correct both of you haha.

It’s Long Beach Blue not Laguna blue and it’s Mineral grey not Space Grey

Thank you very much! I'm envious of your Space Grey(or Mineral Grey, whichever it is ) I love these in that color and there just aren't many of them!

The M2 only came in 4 colors so easy to learn the names

My apologies & good catch there. My DD is a 2011 Space Grey E90 335i M-Sport so that's where my mind was. My 2017 OG M2 was Mineral Grey & I liked that color a lot too. Crazy to think there were "only" 4 color choices available.

Mustang GT is a fantastic car. I used to hate on muscle cars but driving that car changed my mind
