Or am I wrong?
Mine is already on the boat.... So can't be changed.

I presume so... But then the dealer needs to find someone who wants that exact car rather than a blank order.

Mine is more of a space issue than anything else- I just managed to find something I didn't think I could, and sadly the m2 needs to go.

My M2 Pick Up

The night prior to pick up. Arrived at the dealer after closing time.She looks great and different to what you see in photos. The wheels are so big. The shine part is shadow chrome not polished aluminium. The steering is very firm. It sounds great as we started it up in the showroom. It nearly vibrated the walls out.

Ready for the drive home

Now to deface the front of the car for the drive home. Armed myself with a truck load of Scotts 3M tape and started to apply it. It leaves no stick residual.

Home, Cleaned and ready to rock & roll

Hi Guys some photos of our M2
Steering is firm - the ride can be harsh on patched sealed roads but beautifull on good roads - No noise from the exhaust when driving in comfort mode. Have not tried Sport mode as run in procedure must be observed. MAN DOES IT TURN HEADS !!!! when driving through the main street of towns. People just stop and look like its something from outer space. The Harmon Kardon sound is so nice and sharp and bassey. The subs are located under the seats. No HUD so I purchased a Garmin Nuvicam and mounted it on the dash against the windscreen. I now not only got a heads up display but a buit in GoPro camera.
What do you guys think of my side skirt emblems. The "2" is carbon fibre. Felt it needed something to break up the white.
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL , BEAUTIFULL CAR fellas. The 5 month wait was worth it but it nearly killed me marking of every day on the calendar.
Cheers - Gary

Looks awesome.

No plates so I am guessing you are on an interstate journey. What is the road trip?

Keep the photos coming.

More pics

Drove the car back from Shepparton Vic to Dubbo where I live. So its got 800Klm on it already. But hey enjoyed every K driving it. The side skirt decals are very hard to source on the internet. I started looking for them back in November 2015 as soon as I ordered the car. I tracked the ship it was on . I can tell you they don't muck around unloading and sailing of again. The side skirt M colours are the German national colours.

Yeah, they MIGHT work if they are a vinyl only. The emblem looks absolutely hideous in my opinion.

Crap! Vinyl looks cheap. Feedback from most people people who have seen the decals in real time loves the metal and carbon fibre combo so your opinion carries no weight. After seeing all the M Performance add on bits, the only one that does anything for me is the black kidney grill but to each his own. After all it's your car so set it up the way you want.
