I don’t think I’ve seen any in north Austin yet. Definitely not a red one like mine. I did see a light blue new M2 in the McDonald’s parking lot about 2 weeks ago as I drove by.

I'm up north fairly often. Portimao Blue here. I've seen other blues, thundernight, and brooklyn greys. No reds.

I probably just havent been paying attention to it if I did pass one, as I only bought my car 1 month ago. I doubt i'll ever see a red one.

I guess it is as was stated, the rarity might play a role.
That was probably me.

Ran into a fellow forum member in Belmar NJ today as he was parking his BG G42 and we talked for a few mins. I forgot your forum handle but nice meeting you buddy. The car looks great!

In two years I’ve seen exactly three G42 m240i’s. A blue one parked in Dublin, Ohio (I see this one a lot) A BG driving in Powell, Ohio and an alpine white one parked at MAG BMW in Dublin, Ohio, if that counts.

Saw another Thundernight

was cruising down the Atlantic City Expressway yesterday morning when I saw my first Thundernight Metallic other than mine. It was a 230i traveling in the right lane maybe doing 60-65 as I was in the left lane passing someone going more than that 😉

Have not seen one in the Austin area yet. I know my dealer sold a red one after mine so they are out there. The less out there the more mine looks unique.

Someone owns one in the next neighborhood over from me. He has a house with a 3 car garage, but parks it on the street 🤷. Wonder what he actually has in the garage and why not at least park in the driveway???

Still pretty rare in NE as I have only seen two in a year of ownership.

Maybe they are hibernating already!

In western PA, between myself and my friends that send me pics, I've seen 5-6 2 series. at least 1 has been a 230 and at least 2 have been 240s. for context, i've seen 3 LC 500s in that same time frame, so quite rare

I'll keep and eye out for you.

I saw a Blue one last week near me on the Eastside. The only one I recall seeing outside a dealer lot.

Back in August when I ordered, Bellevue fortunately had both a Thundernight and a Blue one on the lot so I could see the colors in person. I think both were sold, just hadn't done delivery yet. And the one I test drove in Tacoma was Red.

Finally saw a G42 local-ish to me! I was in Portland ME and I saw a melbourne red M240i drive past. They were headed downtown, I was headed back onto the highway. Tried to give a wave as I took my turn the other way.
