Last week I ordered a M2 to add to the garage. Configuring the car was incredibly simple compared to buying a Porsche as there were only 3 options boxes to tick compared to Porsches 50+.
The two main things that disappointed me were the color options and the wheel options.
i was pretty much hooked on TR which looked good in the photos until I saw a new M3 in this color on the weekendÂ….and I didnÂ’t like it at all.
In the flesh, to my eyes at least, it’s more like a rust red or oxidized ketchup color rather than a “sporting” red so changed my config to white.
With regards to the wheels, i aleady have the only wheels you can get on the M2 on my M4 and do not want the same wheels again. So i am now trying to source a set of the gold/bronze Performance Parts wheels.
I am really looking forward to getting the car and tracking it. I also have a GT4 RS coming around the same time so they will a make for an interesting pair on the track.

A couple of very quick questions
1. Who are you and how do you have so many cars?
2. When can I take one for a ride?
With regards to the colour options, unfortunately this is a direct result of the cars being produced in Mexico. It might stay this way for a little while. With regards to the options on the car, UK and US have a lot more customisation options - for AU, given it's a smaller market, it's a higher spec'd car with the price increments baked in.
I'm told performance wheels will eventually become available but not sure when. Reckon White is a great colour, I've gone for Black since my current 330i is white and time for a change. Wasn't keen on TR or ZB so it was Grey or Black for me.
