M2 CS delivery - USA (HS - 6MT - 2NH - GLD 763M - Cup2) - PDC Delivery Texas
So, I took delivery of my HS M2CS on Friday at the PDC in South Carolina and drove her home Whoop
Firstly, a huge thanks to Rallye BMW and George Javier (slalomfever) for all his assistance it could not have gone smother!! If you live in the NYC area, he is a MUST!! BTW, he was also instrumental in getting my M4 GTS back in 2015 huge M fan and great guy Second, thanks to all the PDC folks as this was my third PDC delivery and as always, they happen without a hitch. Shout out to Josh for the delivery, to Laura for the driving and to Matt M!! Glad to know such enthusiasts as you guys. Cant wait to drive with Laura again at COTA in the WRL!! Now, onto the important stuff! What a car, absolutely LOVE it. So chuffed to be back in a manual and am in love with the color. I was nervous about the gold 763Ms but they turned out to look amazing. My plan was to drive home via The Tail of the Dragon, but weather forced me to be cautious, so I just headed straight to Nashville 360 miles day one. Day two was straight to Dallas. I chose to hit the hay early and left around 3am only to have the first two hours in snow showers on I40 in 31 degrees on Sport Cup 2s can you say pucker factor!! Needless to say, she handled it well. So, I thought I would list my pros, cons and mehs from two and half days: Pros: The LOOK amazing stance and presence Color Hockenheim changes color depending on the light The gold wheels lol Plenty of leg room I am 65 Seats very comfortable Can get a sense of the performance Good sized trunk The size of the front brakes and calipers love the Red The Steering Wheel The Hood The Gurney flap Front Splitter Cons: Fuel range could barely go 270 miles or three hours When in 6th gear and resting my hand on the gear shift, my right wrist will rest on the iDrive and cause it to change whatever is displayed Super gulp drinks in the cup holder impede with the gear shifter this will only be an issue on road trips, not daily driving Display info on the dash very limited compared to my M5s and M4s but I understand its a 2 series in the hierarchy wish the digital speed as always displayed Brake dust is going to be an issue but that the same with all steel Ms Would like more leg support on the seats at my height it would help On HS, the M2 CS badging needs to be black the chrome gets kinda lost Needs the rear CF winglets not sure why those are not standard Mehs Gearing on road trips at speeds above 85, a 7th gear or overdrive would help with mpg! LOL!! RPM is above 3k would love to know what DCT RPMs at that speed are? Dash after numerous Ms with a leather dash, just gotta get used to this look. Kinda like my E90 M3. No alcantara headliner I think all M cars should have it. Will add spacers not sure what size 27 miles on the odometer, was higher than I expected Anyway, I will post my thoughts after the break-in service tomorrow. p.s. - everyone mentioned how lucky I was to get one as it has the potential to be a very special BMW! p.s.s. - the M4/M3 CF buckets seats are gonna be a hit with guys and their gals not so much. As comfortable as my GT3 buckets and more adjustable.

CoNgrats on the car and the road trip. You bring up a good point. Why do cars have different miles at delivery? Mine had 13 miles once it arrived to the dealer and it was delivered to me with 17 miles. I guess the dealership has to test before selling? And who drove the first 13 miles? BMW and the transport people?

Nice write up. Looks great. I agree the HS changes color. My M2C is HS and it looks silver, grey, and light blue at times. I'm in Southlake and have Misano blue CS. Let's meet up sometime. Congrats!

Can also code in the digital speed if not one of the selections. I have the digital speedo on mine. Nice to be able to glance at speed quickly if needed.

Congrats on the car, I've always understood that resting your hand on the shifter long term isn't great for the synchros. Some old school cars used to print this in the owner's manual.

Your selection is impeccable and compared to the yellow thing......, well, some things are better unsaid
For my liking and many others, including Markus Flasch (M-Division CEO), M2CS is on top of the ladder when it comes to the F8x hierarchy Congratulations, many years of safe and happy driving

Press B/C on control stalk to cycle through options. Mine is always on temperature, but you can switch to digital speed display if you like it.

And in iDrive you can deselect (untick) most so that you don't need to cycle through info you're not interested in.
