![]() ![]() Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Original post (by Riky): Just went by my local dealer for some info about the BMW M2. My sales guy told me they just (yesterday) placed the order for the dealer demo car. Delivery date is March 2016. He showed me the options list and how they ordered the car. I asked him to give me a copy but he wouldn't do that. I tried to memorize as much details as possible. No info on the prices yet. Things I remember:
I will try to see him again and get another look at the option list. Of course i told him to make sure i would get this first car delivered to me, since I've told him a year ago he has to deliver the first M2 to me. He confirmed I would get it ![]() |

If the demo car has no carbon roof, that should help anyone who still thinks the M2 may have a carbon roof. No CCB either. Europe gets standalone options, so I suspect backup camera and rear sensors will be rolled into a package here in the US.

There are a bunch of things it will have that aren't listed there,so it still could come with a carbon fiber roof,but probably not.I'm sure the black wheels would not be fully black.They should be like the M3 wheels,which are silver,with the black accent color.

There was an image on his order form and the wheels are exactly the black rims withe silver accents we all know from the F8x.

Why not give us the option to spec an M3-like beast into the smaller M2 chassis and charge us M3 money for it?? If the performance, along with the cost of a lower model, overlap with that of a higher model, it gives both owners, along with the manufacturer, a "diplomatic" way out. Everyone gets what they pay for and BMW instantly kills aftermarket tunes and makes more dough. I realize it's a bold concept but it's just as silly to hold cars back from their full potential. There should also be room left for product versioning...win-win for all involved. Attention BMW bean counters: off you go to the drawing board!! ![]() |

I'm not a fan of the wheel in general, but it certainly looks better than the silver version IMO. I think I could totally live with this on LBB ![]()

You want an S55 motor in the M2? No problem, pay me! Carbon fibre roof? Sure but at a cost, almost like Porsche a-la-carte style. The only big expense that still cannot be shaved is the federalization cost, and it would have to be done for each unique combination of add on performance parts. Let's hope that the Trans-Atlantic Treaty with Europe will be passed which will equalize standards on both sides of the pond. If and when this happens, we are bound to see some interesting developments with the German automotive market and its offerings in North America. Here's to hoping! ![]() |

You may want to pay top dollar and be able to crush an M3 in the 0-62mph department....because that's what you want. ![]() Bmw makes money and everyone walks away happy. Well maybe not the owner of the stock M3, but knowing that your spec M2 cost you more than his or her stock M3, they'll "get it." |

Seriously? You're gonna choose the F80 just because the M2 wheels are partly black? To each their own, but I don't get that
