I'm pretty sure he said he was getting one on the Collecting Cars podcast - probably to sit alongside his 1M

Yep he did and he said it's because he thinks it's the last great M car BMW will ever make. Although he still thinks the F80 is the most beautiful M car ever made.

To paraphrase on the podcast he said it's basically a modern day Sierra Cosworth - 400HP, compact package, manual transmission. He wants to stop putting miles on his 1M, and he got a great deal on it. His co host asked if he will tune it, he said no as it's a lease. He also felt maybe in 3-4 years he won't be offered cars of this type, assuming he's referring to how good value the M2C is. Sounds like its going to be his daily driver. As a bonus he also does 'whisky files' on his Instagram stories everyday - someone asked his 5 favourite M cars. E28 M5, E39 M5, E46 M3, F80 M3, E30 M3. odd he didn't mention the 1M but thats probably the whiskey taking. Last edited by Montaver; 05-17-2020 at 12:11 PM.. |

Didn't need to link the collecting cars podcast as I already heard it (I listen to every new episode within a day of it coming out), and recall him saying what you note above.

I thought he bought a HS with 437M wheels and orange stitching awhile back. He posted it on his twitter.

Nope, that was a press car. He just bought a BSM on gold 763s within last few weeks.

Feb 19, he posted on his Twitter "There is still one very good looking BMW. The M2. I've decided to adopt one indefinitely." When asked which one he bought, he said HS, orange stitching, manual, and 437m wheels because the 788m were too heavy.

Actual car that looks like what was delivered with his TR, which seemed to be confirmed in the comments: https://twitter.com/harrismonkey/sta...698259456?s=21 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPoG79n...=1wu4fb3qol4uz Although, I'm not him or know him, but could be completely wrong. Also on his story this morning he is in it and it looks like the blue stitching kit orange: https://instagram.com/stories/harris...=13bwniuk3e44i Also says later that he wouldn't rather have any other BMW than an M2. And it looks like there may be a shot of the good which is BSM, but then again could be black trim reflecting on windshield so idk. https://instagram.com/stories/harris...d=mg8nbbfwsdmi Man, idk why I care so much about this. I'm clearly an asshat lol.
