There's nothing other than some body panels that are new in this car. The M2 is a parts bin throw together of tried and true components. The chassis, drive train, iDrive system, all have been around and work great. Don't worry about this being a first run car.

I don’t want a manual at all. I would get an automatic M2. I ordered the M240 in Brooklyn grey with tacroa red leather. I dont mind that purple but it’s not for me.

Just curious when you ordered the M240 and what you were told as far as timing for allocation. When I ordered mine last year, and from what I have been told, allocations down here are just as stingy with wait times almost that of the M2. |

Anyway returning to our scheduled program. If you are serious about getting a car you need to dedicate some time every day to making calls. The car I found had already been submitted for an order by the dealer but the build week isn’t until mid May so I was able to modify it. I got Brooklyn Grey over Tacora Red with all options accept for cooling and tire. I have a new set of Mich 4s I am taking off my M340 and I heard the additional cooling is not noticed anyway. I hope that helps I am happy to help further if you want to PM me. |

Furthermore the delta between the “M light” models and the full M cars where much bigger back then. BMW has really upped the game on the “M light” cars. |

As far as I can tell, the only place this becomes remotely close is with the V8 cars. Even then...man you're on shaky ground with this one... |

This quote though, I'm not sure about. "Furthermore the delta between the “M light” models and the full M cars where much bigger back then. BMW has really upped the game on the “M light” cars." Like they say, a high tide raises all ships. The BMW performance high tide is on a roll lately, but IMO the delta is the same. I think what you were getting at is that everything just moved up several notches, and for 90% of BMW buyers they will not be able to extract that last 20% of the vehicle performance that requires a track, so the M light cars make a lot of sense for a lot of people - right? |

Let’s call spade a spade. No one in their right mind will want to frequently track a G87 as she is a fairly hefty pig. If one is a track rat, the G87 will not be the favored weapon of choice.

M "light"
I hated when BMW started the M "light" thing! They knew that purchasers who wont or cant commit to what a full M car is but want that M status could buy in. That's ok but next thing you know those same people are telling you why full M cars are no longer necessary because they are getting 90% of what an M car is...yeah ok. Keep believing that. I wont even explain the difference.
