Should I buy an M2C 2019

Hello,

Ill try to make it short: I own an
X5 40i 2019
Jeep wrangler unlimited

And im looking for a fun car.

M2C with AC tune... full carbon fiber exterior + full akraprovic exhaust.

3000 milage and the price is 70000$ from the dealer
4 years warranty and 30000 milage free service

*I had an x6m f86 2016 (sold) because it was too big for a sport suv

Please advise

Good solid model. You have to verify warranty though as being tuned generally voids all bmw warranty, here in Canada anyways it would get flagged in the system.

And I can’t comment on the price, it’s low miles for sure, but the mods don’t add a cent to resale and may even reduce second hand sale price so keep that in mind. But the akra is a costly addition though. And if you were going to do it anyways, then may have some value to you.

Ensure you get service history and warranty claim history. Pretty low miles may have had an issue with it or been in shop for a while. Pay for a pre purchase inspection at a third party shop that you trust.

Anyways if it all checks out, it is a very fun car other than the amount of rear tires you will chew through!!

Hard to advise on whether it's a good deal or not, but in regards to the M2C themselves, I personally love them and wouldn't hesitate to get one. I just got back from test driving one again and this car is really getting under my skin (in a good way).

The only thing I'd ask is what are you looking for? Clearly you already have practical cars, so do you need 4 seats? Are you looking at turbocharged cars only, or naturally aspirated as well? Regardless, in terms of fun cars, I love the M2C and have no problem recommending it and I don't even own one.

UAE, not sure about the price- seems steep but I highly recommend the car itself. They are a blast to drive- even as a daily driver.

A modified, possibly as old as two years car with that few miles is interesting. I'd want to know it's history pretty completely.

No. Price too high. you can find them stock and low mileage for high 50's. Stock exhaust sounds fine. Nothing is going to sound great on S55.

Great fun car, Very nice to drive. For pure driving it's amazing with torque down low for street driving

For a daily you also have a enough trunk space. More practical than my 996 porsche 911 turbo.

I owned a lot of nice sports car and it's a go from me, you will love it, it's not the fastest car i got but this car is all about driving, it's a good balance between performance, handling, braking with daily practicality

Seriously? Given the current cars you drive you are also looking at the M2C? How would I every decide which car to drive today... the E92 M3 or the M2C... hmm, toss a coin I suppose. Can't go wrong.

Oh absolutely. The M2C just feels like a very old school M car (a good thing). Completely different character than the E92 M3 though. It's more compact, nimble, torquey, has enough tech but not too much.

As a matter of fact, I drove this one yesterday and it's trying very hard to find its way home with me. I honestly don't know of any other car I'd even consider at this price point. If the car would have been LBB, it probably would have been game over:



I think I'll hold off and see how the G87 is at the end of the day, but I think it'll be a big ask to match the F87

$70kUSD for that car in the US is too much, but I dont know anything about pricing where you are. As others mentioned the tune would void the warranty here in North America as well. Most of us prob arent familiar with the circumstances in your area to have a real opinion.

When i was looking at a pre owned M2C, there were a lot more rebates / better financing on the new ones, so i bought new.
