2 series in the wild

It seems strange, but I have had my 2 series now for five months and I have never seen another 2 series on the road.

The only ones I have seen were on the dealer show room.

Is it just me or has anyone else had the same experience?

Also, most people mistake my M235i for a 435i. They are quite surprised to find out it is a 2 series.

Saw a grey 228 on I85 right before I bought mine, then last week-end I saw a white 235i with m performance side sticker

We are in an area where there are more BMWs than Toyotas (!) and I've only seen 2 very briefly in the wild.

Same, same around these parts. I've yet to spot an M235i. I did spot one (one only) 228i a few weeks ago, but that's it.

I have maybe seen 1 on the road in the past 3 months. Dealers are still not getting a lot of allocations so there most likely are not that many out there yet. The market has not been flooded like a 328 for example

2s are still thin on the ground around here. I've already seen more f80 m3s on the road than other 2s.

The only one I saw was getting the oil changed at 1200 miles and I saw the bottom of it. My dealer has no 228's or M235 in stock.

We had a tiny allocation of 2 Series at our dealership and we are huge. I haven't seen any in the wild.

Be happy about that. When I first got my F30 (in 2012) it seemed like I was the only one that bought one! Now, they are common and the car doesn't seem special at all.

On topic, I've seen one white 228i and one black M235i on the road.

I've only ever seen one other 2 Series in the wild and it was a 228i, have not seen any other M235i's. I'm actually in France now and expected to see a ton of them here, but not one yet, very surprising.

I've seen two and had my car since March. One in the exact same MG on CR color combo with identical cosmetic mods (kinda irked me) and another black one.

Apparently it's a really tough car to get a hold of as dealers have such limited allocations.

I have seen a 2 228s and 2 m235s in the LA area on the road. Yesterday was in Westlake village and the dealer just took delivery of 3 MG M235s.
