A standard M2 is $173K in Thailand.. 100K is super cheap, and similar to what you pay for a 330e here.

Sawadeekrup! Haha! Hi Northern neighbour! Yeah! Thailand's luxury cars are way more expensive than Malaysia. But somehow Bangkok is full of nice rides!

330e is around $56k here due to zero excise duty.

Alpine White (the only non-metallic M2 color) M-DCT M2 manufactured at the BMW Leipzig factory (Oct. 29, 2016) was shipped to Garching to get the Austin Yellow Metallic body (re)paint treatment at the "BMW Karo-Lackzentrum" (BMW Niederlassung München Karosserie- & Lackzentrum: http://bmw-partner.bmw.de/niederlass...ebersicht.html).

Subsequently, the car was sent to BMW M for all the other BMW Individual customization (brakes painted in Austin Yellow Metallic and interior stuffed with Atacama Yellow contrast stitching with some CF bits and a personalized door sill).

The picture you posted was taken between the body (re)paint treatment stage and final customization stage. During shipping cars get the protection wrap.

No matter what people say, cool that Michael Fux walked the extra mile for "just" an M2 and that BMW was prepared to grant his 'rider'.

I just realized who this guy was, seen one of his Rolls Royce's years ago (2010). He's a man of quality for sure.

Here is a video of a completely bespoke Rolls drophead he did. As for everyone saying why spend 114k on a BMW M2, I personally don't think it matters what the cost was. Obviously he got the car exactly the way he wanted and money was never a problem for him, kudos to him and his 1 of 1 M2.

Even though I'm not a fan of the piss yellow, to each his own.....His charity work alone is awesome, the guys generally a good human being. Not too many rich folks like that out there.

Most of his stable is bespoke so why not over pay bmw for an m2?

Nice collection. That color only suits the f80. Actually think the m3 looks great in it. M4 or other. Not so much.

I work for a dealer and have known about this car for a while now

The AY paint was a $12k option (obviously no individual for the M2), but this guy can get whatever he wants.

The car also has EVERY MPerformance option and many other Individual options, such as:

AY back of rearview mirror

AY brake calipers (Not CCBs)

AY stiching on the interior, instead of standard LBB


Word on the street is BMW made him buy an M4 GTS in order to make this happen.

I don't get why there's so much hate for this M2 but I'm guessing it's a lot of jealous people on the forum based on the childish remarks.

While Austin Yellow wouldn't be my first choice, I applaud the effort and outcome. The owner seems to be doing some great charity work and has quite the car collection, so BRAVO to him, he's a car enthusiast in my book.

edit:

I've changed my mind, I *hate* him too since he was able to secure a 911R...
