My thinking is exactly like yours....I've just sold my M235 after 6 months, mineral white, just for the fact that I will order the M2...And I can't decide if I will go with the LBB or the Alpine White. If I do go with LBB, I'm also thinking to wrap it in a "wet look semi mat" wrap.

If it came in mineral white, I would have gone with that.

The black 437's will look marvelous on it.

I gotta lay low, going with mineral. I need some silver wheels though, first thing on my list.

I wish they had the option for the silver wheel. There will be certain colours that will go with silver or black wheel. E.g white with black, black with silver, LBB with black, Mineral with Silver. These are of course my opinions. It's also a shame the tyre sizes are different than that of the M4/M3 so arranging a simple swap with dealer cars is not an option as rolling diameters will be off to what the car is calibrated for.

I spoke to my dealer earlier and we have a few months to figure that out (what color to get). No problem putting in an order today, but no prices are released and sometimes cars get locked and can't be changed and it won't get an earlier allocation anyway so no need to order.

Oh lord dude how much did you lose on that deal :O That must have set you back a bit I was thinking like oh well maybe if it looks good enough and it is quite a bit of an upgrade i would do the same. But not directly after 6 months...I have around 25000€ left on my debt to BMW for the car and its 10 months old my baby So i was thinking well in a year it will be worth it.

The difference is 7mm in diameter. That's not enough to throw out the ABS or TC calibrations.

What about speedo

What about it? It'll still work. And will read 60.6 instead of 60.

So many people run cars with tires different in size from the factory. I run a tire larger than the factory on my X1 and have had no adverse effects. My speedo is out, but big whoop.

Ok good to know it's not much at all

Yep your absolutely right, it's a few months left still. I sold my car now when I was home, as I was home on leave, and will not be back until Xmas next. So made sense to sell it now and get as much as possible, since I won't drive it in December/January anyway. So I'm hoping that I'm able to put and order in, with prices of the car and options available, in November/December, but I guess we just have to wait and see. Are you getting an M2 as well?

Yep I lost about 12 000$ on it, but it was either sell it now or park it my garage until I'm bak in Sweden next, in December, and sell it then. So not a hard choice really. But I have to say that it was a bit hard to hand it back as I really enjoyed the car, and after the upgrades I thought it looked so cool. Now it's just an waiting game until the order books open for the M2.

Yes, in the same boat as you. Sold my 335 in August to get as much as possible for it so I'm just waiting for the full order sheet to put in my order for the M2. Hopefully I (we) can see the M2 in all color before ordering, that would make it a lot easier.

Unfortunately not, I'm from Gothenburg.
But I'm in Stockholm quite often, even more often with the M2 later on!

Are you going have to put money in between for the M2 or did the M235i value cover both the money in between + a little bit more.

I my self have paid so much on my car that its worth more then i have in debt so if i were to sell it now i would have cover the debt + have a little extra in between but the rest i would have to put out to cover it .

That's only 550km.. I'm in Gothenburg sometimes to, have friends down there. We will square something out once we have our cars. What color are you leaning on for the M2?

I paid of the entire loan on the M235, but still have over 100k over from that, so that + what ever I save up in the months until the first downpayment on the M2, is what I'll put in. I expect I'll put in about 200-250k and take the rest on payment plan.

LBB or AW, like most people... Need to see the lines of the car first before I'm sure.

Yea I'm same. Do you know if the M2 will have a diff/LSD as standard? I asked "my" BMW guy, but he did not know.

Ask yourself, "Why woul it not?". Of course it will. It will has the M3/M4's suspension, subframe, and LSD.

As IS3andME said, it will. It is seen in all the photos too.
