M2 Maintenance
Hey guys,
This will be my first bmw so i need your help. Will the M2 get free 50,000miles maintenance or is that just a dream? If it is just a dream, how much should i be expecting? Thanks in advance!

In fact, the M2 mirrors KIA's warranty of 100,000 miles due to it being such a coveted first generation release automobile. Inquire about this with your local dealer.

BMW pays for nearly all normal wear and tear including wiper blades and brake pads. It's very satisfying and gratifying to have no other out of pocket expenses other than your car payment. |

On this car, when you consider the brake pads/rotors alone, it is a good reason to shoot for a 2016 rather than a 2017.
Sure, the 2017 will theoretically be LCI, but that won't likely be anything drastic anyway. The change in maintenance is a real consideration factor moving to 2017 models and beyond.

Ummmmmm, wouldn't you rather have them covered when you find out you aren't .. " average " ? My dealer replaced my brake pads at 8K miles... I'm " above average " This is a sports car!! If you plan to drive it like miss daisy then you probably won't need a thing during the warranty period other than fluid changes, and you probably could have just gone with an M235! M CAR BUCKET LIST - Join BMW CCA (what- you haven't already ?!) - take a car control clinic/attend an autocross - do an HPDE in it - take it to a car show /concours event - take it on a Driving tour Lather, rinse, repeat ... That's 4 years and 50,000 miles of FUN |

The "average M2 driver" would be wear due to most M2 driver's driving. Do the M brakes tend to wear quicker than other BMW brakes? I got plenty of wear left on my AH3 at 47k mi., but I don't track the car.
I think it's great that BMW will pay for maintenance required due to track use, and even track event use. |

I would sure as shit hope so. If they don't, perhaps you bought the M2 for the wrong reasons.

Tough to say what the wear rate is on the pad compounds they've chosen, you'd have to ask current F80 owners I guess. I'm sure your AH3 uses a harder pad for sure though.

Also, make sure to get your blades done once per year or you lose it, like I did.

Anyone else noticed how many e84 X1 people are getting a M2? We have three of them in this thread alone, plus want135m and a couple others...
Seems we all have similar tastes for small, quick cars! |

I've got at least another year, probably 2 before I can jump in. But wifey wants one...so it's looking good.

If it falls apart. If you ride it like a pony, they won't cover it.

I repeat. This is a sports car. Absolutely you should expect it to consume more of the following than your average commuter vehicle. 1- fuel 2- tires- especially rear tires!! 3- oil 4- brake pads 5 - brake rotors 6- yes! tires again! Don't expect much more than 20k for a set of tires |

Some posts on 2 Series LCI seem to indicate MY2018 which would probably have a SOP of 07/17. They may have said in 2017.
