Yes. I remember when Car and Driver couldn't get their hands on a Tesla Model 3, they solicited owners to donate. Very strange that the press has no cars to use.

Still, no review from the monkey

M4 isn't the best but with full leather vs an M2 its a nice step up. Which is expected for 20-30k more.

What does the warranty have to do with the interior? Have you SEEN the new RS4/RS5 interiors? Get outta here with your M3 interior. All BMWs are pretty sad by comparison. I'd call the M3's step up over the M2C marginal at best--and very few people even opt for the full leather because of what it does to the price.

Sounds like you haven't been a BMW owner for a long time.. hahah. But no the real deal is that Audi/VW are stupidly impossible to work on. BMWs have gotten worse but are much better than Audi to work on.

The take rate on full leather is pretty high. People paying 80k don't care too much about $2000 more.

Musk hates the press and shareholders because they dare to criticize him.

There are loads of _glowing_ reviews from quality journalists. The next round of reviews will be as good or better. The OG M2 reviews were also amazing (especially in Australia). It’s a great car made better. If you are waiting for reviews to convince you to switch cars, well, you’ve already got a great car. If you are waiting for reviews to validate your purchase, well, they’ll just say the previous model was great, but the new one is better. Hope this helps.

Looks as if Chris Harris has his hands on a M2C and is currently testing it somewhere in France. He mentioned in hi instagram video that it will be on you tube shortly as a review!!!!

See picture below taken from his Instagram Video.

All he said was - "you will be seeing more of this soon on YouTube" so I'm guessing this month or next!

Hello everyone.
New to this forum and have been trying to read as much as possible about the M2C.
I know I've scratched the surface but feel like I learned a lot so far from all the comments. Going to pick up my M2C (LBB) this afternoon.
