New M2 owner checking in - picked up my 2020 M2C 6mt exec package in early May and thought I'd say hello. I bought the car with around 5500mi on it and have put on nearly 2000 since, driving it home from CA and daily since.

In the past, I owned a 2009 WRX that I autocrossed and modified quite heavily. Several years ago, I was ready for a change and picked up a 1996 Miata to help transition away from the Subaru. In the end the 'transition' took about three years, but I landed in the M2 and I couldn't be happier.

Really enjoying the car! Despite being fundamentally different, the M2 is everything I modified my WRX to be (minus the hatch ) - and it still has a warranty!

Took advantage of some nice weather over the weekend to head up Hurricane ridge. Beautiful and fun drive, if you can make some space behind the inevitable 15 y/o Forester doing a relentless 30 up the mountain.

Looking forward to a summer of optimism after the last year. Hopefully there might be some Seattle-area get together. I'm in Kitsap County but would be happy to take the ferry over to meet some mainlanders!

Welcome to the Seattle area. Your M2 looks fantastic.

Be sure to check out the local BMWCCA chapter. Lots of tours and track days.

Here is the link to their website: https://bmwpugetsound.com/

Hey! I have a Sunset Orange coming in the next couple of months. I'm up in Snohomish but spend a lot of time in Bellevue and Redmond, always down to cruise, especially if we can snag some of those views!

Great pics!

Nice - I haven't seen another SOM in person, more AW/HS/BS.

Sounds like you've got one of the last off the line. The wait must be killing you!

Welcome to the M2 club and the seattle area! Hope to see you around

[FateSeven]

Thanks so much!

Get your service done by BMW Northwest in Fife. The other choice would be BMW Seattle. Stay away from BMW Bellevue.

Can you PM me why (if you don't want to publicly state it)? I was going to use this dealer for service since it's near my office. Thank you for any insight here.

Seattle is the current alternative. Taco is just a hike for me.

Here is a thread on the subject of dealers service in the Seattle area.

I wasn't able to make it happen this year, but this might interest you. I'll be going to the one in Colorado in September......

Welcome to the PNW. You get to enjoy the best time of the year to be a car enthusiast right now. Lots of exotics out daily and the weather is perfect for drives. We can certainly have a get together some time soon.

Are you in Bellevue often? I was at Total Wine a couple weeks ago and spotted an HS M2C in the lot and made my wife slow creep by it so we could take a closer look at the color (we were still looking for a car at this point and HS was an option). I work and run errands in Bel-Red so maybe we'll cross paths at some point.

Yeah that total wines is 2 minutes from my parents place. I grew up in Bellevue so if you are in the area and you get a wave from a HS M2C with black wheels and windows, you know who it is.
