Anyone with an M2 Competition around Sherman Oaks?

I used to have a 135i & E46 M3 but purchased a Lotus Exige S240 in 2015 that I recently just sold. An M2 Competition is on my list of possible replacements and was wondering if anyone has one around Sherman Oaks that wouldn't mind giving me a ride along.

Should have traded that S240 straight up for a M2PE!

Really? I had no issues getting a test drive. All the dealers I went to were just giving away test drives in OGs and Comps.

Which dealers were friendly? I only even see Beverly Hills BMW and Rusnak with it in stock within 25miles right now on Autotrader.

I was at Irvine BMW where i test drove a comp. I guess I assumed most dealers were like this but I may be wrong. I bought my used m2 from rusnak maserati and they let me test drive it right away. It was an og and used so that may have played into it.

Comp seems a bit more rare here in LA. A few dealers I already asked refuse to even consider European delivery on it and Beverly Hills BMW just said the ones they have on autotrader are sold.

Looks like Rusnak BMW is the only dealer in LA with one in stock(says Beverly Hills BMW on Autotrader had one but they said they sold it) and they refuse to even take it out for a drive themselves and let me sit passenger. Anyone locally that wouldn't mind letting me experience the M2 competition? I drove the normal used M2 from Pacific BMW but wasn't too impressed.

Not to get into an M2 vs M2C thing but if you didn't like the OG M2 I'm not sure you'll like the M2C. It's more of an evolution of the M2 (with some plusses and minuses) than a night and day difference.

In any case, good luck in your search. FWIW, I was able to test drive an M2 at Bob Smith BMW several weeks before I made the decision to buy mine (from Bob Smith).

I ended up testing an M2C and loved how much better it felt than the used M2 from Pacific BMW. Purchased the M2C. To me it felt like a night and day difference, not sure if that specific used M2 from Pacific BMW was a lemon or what.

WHat's your delivery schedule cooler? And what did you get?

Natural evolution from the 135 to the m2 comp. Wish i could have kept my 135 but u know, down payment and all that.

Edit; you apparently found one on the lot!

Actually found one that had 250 miles and was purchased in February but the owner got a GT3 Touring allocation so he let it go at a crazy good price.
