Good idea - might have done the same but with a late April/May build I'm looking at a July/Aug delivery, can't wait that long

Haven't heard back from my dealer yet.
Do you know where the car will be this week?

Yep. Brookvale tomorrow (today now - writing this at Tuesday 12:09am) arvo until 4pm Wednesday. Not sure of its whereabouts following that.

Ctothej · 03-13-2023, 08:11 AM

The M3 touring will be there too.

Ctothej · 03-14-2023, 02:19 AM

Can confirm the car is a beaut.

Here's a couple of pictures I took: https://ibb.co/9p43HdV

Here's a screenshot from a video I took to show the saturation difference: https://ibb.co/CHBBm5Y

It looks absolutely fantastic, thank you for the photos. I won't be able to get there tomorrow but I'm sure it will be heading to BMW Sydney at some stage.

I broke and had to go see it...

Agreed. Pictures don't do it justice. Looks an absolute beast in person.

GYRKIN GT · 03-16-2023, 11:37 PM

Been hanging around for a while, taking it all in. Now that I have a production date I’ll post my order details.

- Order placed mid-December 2022;
- TR;
- 6 speed;(because I actually enjoy driving)
- MAMM seats;
- Bi-colour wheels;
- Production date 23rd June;
- ETA in Oz, Aug/Sept

Originally, I was a bit pissed at the Sales person. I had been speaking with that person since May 2022 and was number 2 on the list. I was also told I would be contacted as soon as the order bank opened . That didn’t happen & my order wasn’t placed until mid-December!! As is often said, things happen for a reason. In our case, my wife and I are planning on completing the “other” half circuit of Oz on our motorcycle starting in May. The first half circuit was completed at the end of 2019 before Covid screwed all of us up. So, in the end, the Sales person’s “forgetfulness” worked out okay. Much better to complete our motorcycle adventure and receive the wonderful new M2 on our return. BTW, that Sales person is no longer employed at the dealership. 😊

Does anyone know where the M2 in NSW ended up. Brookvale wasn’t told where it was going, I rang them.

I saw it at Brookvale, they were really good sports about it. Not sure where it is now though sorry.

My sales guy at Brookvale said he needed to make multiple calls to BMW to get it organised because the dealers are effectively getting demo models in the first shipment, so a lot of them are just waiting for the demos to come in April/May.

Lex Templar · 03-27-2023, 08:54 PM

I dropped into BMW today, the M2 is now status 155.

Reading 155 could be production complete or stuck at quality control.. do you know which one yours is? Hopefully the former!

Here it is cut and pasted, so nothing out of ordinary which is good.

(155) Assembly finish / quality
check

3 days in status.
