Just ordered & placed a deposit on my new M2! I am still not sold on the looks, the front & rear just give me a serious case of the uglies. LOL Makes me want to keep my (paid for) F87. Keep or sell??

I drove my buddy's G87 & no doubt, this is one helluva car. Interior is just awesome, very nice indeed. Love the side view. And love that there is no drone with the exhaust. Lemme tell ya - that is one thing I will not miss with my F87. I def miss some of the BMW classic stuff like the dual angel eye headlights & M2 side-gill/badge.

Anyway - the new build specs:

• Black Sapphire Metallic
• 6 speed manual
• Bi-color wheels (getting Richland Forged GT4 in brushed clear)
• Black interior with the M color highlights
• Carbon Fiber trim
• Keeping the sunroof
• Shadowline
• LED lighting
• Live Cockpit pro/HUD
• Heated steering wheel
• Wireless charging
• Red brake calipers.
• AND - the port installed M Performance HAS kit!!

Worst part - 4 to 5 month ETA!

At least I still have the F87 to keep my satisfied until it arrives.

Just wondering if selling the F87 just for the extra cash to lower the payment might be a bad mistake. I wanna keep it, but I really don't need 2 cars - I just know I'll miss that thing once it's gone.

I wish I kept my E92 M3. Will probably get another 1. Maybe a E90 this time. Keep it.

I say, sell the F87 while you can (prices on them are dropping very quickly) and invest that money into a CD or something. Or if you have the garage space, turn that F87 into a track weapon and have fun with it.

If you're really not sure and you are able to keep it, wait for the new one to arrive and drive it for a while and see which one you prefer, then sell the other. Sure you won't maximize your tax advantage and might lose a little in depreciation, but you will be sure in your decision.

Congrats! No advice on the F87, but you should save $200 and remove the wireless charger from your build. The one that comes with the 6MT is inside the center console, takes up storage space, is ineffective at charging and great at heating.

Source - everyone on this forum that saved me $200.

HA! We think alike! The prior owner had already modded the car. I had no idea until I brought it to a bud's house to take it out for a spin. I had it maybe a week. He was like - your car is modded, I can feel it. We popped the hood, he looked it over & noticed all the bolt ons. Contacted the owner through the forum & found out:

Bootmod3 w/ Cary Jordan tune (dyno'd AWESOMELY!)
FMIC
Sport cat DP
FTP charge/boost pipes
M Perf exhaust

It's a little bat outta hell for sure.

I've had the car 4 years now & it's been great - have had fun on the track with it. Was thinking keep it as my daily/bad weather (perish the thought! LOL) & my track car.

Now you're talkin'

[Carefree]

Ship it me for storage until you decide.

I've never ordered a vehicle I thought was ugly, so can't help you there. Definitely, remove the wireless charging. Yeah it's only $200, but it's worthless.

If you can swing keeping both and have space to park/store them, might as well. You can always sell one later on.

I am hoping it grows on me. I mean, I've been living with my face for 58 years.

Get rid of the F87 M2. No reason to have two cars. More expensive to maintain two cars with insurance, maintenance, gas, keeping the battery charged, etc. Put all of your time and money in one car.

This is what I am mulling over in my head ATM. Plus in CT we pay annual property tax on cars that is pretty substantial. Between that & the insurance, HUGE reasons to get rid of the F87.

I think you might have sold me on selling it. (Was that English right there? LOL)

yeah I'd sell it then, depreciating + tax + insurance not worth it at all

[ScottyRyan2019]

I thought the new M2 was nice when I saw pics of it, but in person it is so much nicer. I admire its lines every day.

Yeah, you may have sold yourself on selling it.

I didn't really have much to offer when I started reading this thread and other people's thoughts...actually agreed with points on both sides.

But that was before we knew about the tax on cars in your state on top of the insurance, etc.

I would lean towards selling.

You already made your choice! If you wanted to keep the F87 M2 and loved it—you wouldn’t have ordered a G87. Clearly you’re not that attached to it. Sell it.

Actually, I am attached to it & love it. Fully modded, killer ride, paid for, incredible condition & runs great. That's my struggle... and def a first world problem. I have a JCW Mini Cooper I am gonna trade. I've had 2 cars quite a while. I planned on keeping the F87 as my rainy roads, winter time & track car. I'd really only be trading it to lower my car payment, and save on taxes & insurance.

I’m in similar situation but with my highly modded 2020 STi, super fun, great color (Lapis Blue) discontinued, only 10k miles. I have listed it for sale but probably asking too much because I’m not trying too hard to sell it. I also have a 21 Bronco 2 Door 7mt and an incoming company car. I wish I could keep them all but it’s not smart financially to have cash tied up in a depreciating assets. Gotta just rip the bandaid off

[MineralGreyMetallic]

I've had this struggle in the past, but with guitars.

What ends up happening is I eventually pick a favorite and the other one sits around collecting dust, which I really dislike.

F87s are still holding their value well. You might be kicking yourself later for not taking advantage of that.

[RockCrusher]

If you can do without the F87 I think you should sell the F87 now. Used car prices are dropping. It is worth as much money used now as it ever will be.

Then you can use what you sell the F87 car for -- plus what you save dropping insurance for the F87 -- to lower how much you finance to buy the M2 which can only save you money given the interest rate I believe the new car loan will run you.
