No More Ducking

I said goodbye to my 2022 Supra 3.0 and picked up an M2 today. I put a deposit down on the M2 over a year ago and originally bought the Supra as a stop gap, but it exceeded my expectations. So much so that I considered passing on the M2 when it arrived. But, I'm the end, I couldn't pass it up... But I'm still ducking out of habit when I get into the M2.

Too soon for driving impressions but the interior/tech is definitely a step up for sure. Although iDrive 8 seems to be laggy at times? Anyway glad to be back in the family (even though I never really left)...

Congratulations, I had the exact same situation. I bought a ‘23 A91 MT Supra to try it out. I thought it was a safe purchase that I could resell after a bit without a loss. I never expected to like it so much. I wasn’t initially in love with the styling or small roadster like cabin, I just wanted a manual transmission and loved the idea of BMW and Toyota both having their hand on a car. My other car is a G80 Comp xDrive, so I wanted something with a manual that was different as a second car. I sold the Supra last month after taking delivery of the M2 manual (to replace the Supra). I honestly still miss it a bit, although I immediately liked the M2 for the improved interior and the S58. I can say though that in my case the M2 is more like my M3, than the Supra. I agree with each of your initial comments. Let us know more as you spend more time behind the wheel. I’ve only had mine a few weeks and with only a few hundred miles so far I’m still warming up to it. I expect the manual to be more fun after the run in service, when I can explore the higher revs.

By the way - you appear to have the same exterior spec as me - color, wheels and roof.

Hold down the volume/power button for 70 seconds. It will power off and on twice. When it powers back on the 2nd time let go of the button.

With the limited colors out right now, this is probably the same spec I would've gotten. And yes, I actually prefer the sunroof too.

Congrats. Im over half of my break-in kms now at 1112 and rising as of today. First service booked for 8 Sept. Then the fun can truly begin. You have a really nice looking M2 and a sunroof is always a good choice!

You can actually let go of it when the screen turns off. No need to hold for the entire process.

Almost broke my neck on that Supra roofline.

Enjoy your M2...and in the best color to boot!

Should the engine be on or off, power on but engine not running?
