Bad news. I pulled the M2 into the garage this evening and there was a very loud metalic rattle/banging noise coming from the front of the engine. Sounds like it is coming from the belt/accessory area but everything looks normal. No check engine lights. Gonna call Classic tomorrow to get it towed.

I will get a video of it before it gets sent off as I am sure there will be some interest in this one. It sounds so bad that I am really afraid to fire it up. I will prob wait until I have to pull it out of the garage in the morning for the tow.

Bottom line, I am now a maybe for Saturday. If I get the car back in time I will be there. If not, might come crash the party in a loaner. The annoying thing is that my daily driver is in the shop getting the head rebuilt. The M2 hasn't seen this much driving in... ever. Maybe she is mad at me for driving her every day and in the rain.

Anyway I will keep everyone posted.

Good thing you're still under warranty! Very curious what the issue is. Bring the loaner.

Hope it's not the dreaded crank hub issue that plagues these motors.

Good luck

Car is now in Classic's hands. Still no word on what went wrong. They gave me a damn bright red Mini Cooper Clubman with Florida plates. Ugh.

Foggins, congrats on your purchase! Tell us your specs. I’m sure you are counting down the days. You will love the car so much more you ever thought!

Thanks! This will be my 5th M car, have owned a few M3’s and one M4. Currently daily driving a VW GLI so this will be a welcome upgrade and I cannot wait!

My specs: Hockenheim/6 spd/Exec/Dark wheels/Slicktop

I just ordered it a couple of days ago, so probably looking at end of July.

Hey guys, been trying to register with the app, but it is either my Android phone or my lack of finesse that will not let me do it. Mind if I join you without it?

Sure come on out. The PUF app is just an attempt to reach more M2 owners. Definitely not required.

Well... I talked to my SA and it is really the worst news I could have gotten. They were unable to reproduce the issue. IMO that is worse than engine failure. I am picking it up today.
