I'm a bit confused. You didn't really "leave the club", you just turned the dial up from 10 to 11. Enjoy!!!!

3rdcoast228i · 02-03-2018, 10:29 AM

Excellent choice!

mikeyymonster · 02-03-2018, 11:13 AM

Jealous!!

Nice upgrade. Congrats!

emtrey · 02-03-2018, 02:44 PM

Leaving the club ? That's the right way to do so !!! Very nice--there is a new 2018 exactly like that sitting on the floor of my local dealership. Love the punched out fenders.

Well you just need to do something wild for your 70th birthday.

Transfer · 02-03-2018, 10:27 PM

Congrats! Did you order or was that on the Seattle lot? If ordering how long were you on the list and waiting?

USA-RET · 02-04-2018, 11:29 AM

Still a 2..so your membership remains intact.

Very nice car. Car and Driver 10 best 2017: (along w/ the M240i). Great choice and best of luck w/ it.

It was someone’s cancelled order.

First of all, congrats and best wishes!

How are the roads where you live? Can you describe the ride experience and if it ever gets really uncomfortable due to harshness on rougher pavement?

Best article I have seen on the M2 from a fellow BMWCCA member : https://www.bmwpugetsound.com/a-year-with-an-m2/

Considering I got talked out of at MSRP M2 by my partner I am just gonna assume that article says "you should really just get a M240i"

gvstone · 02-05-2018, 03:26 AM

Wanted the 2 so bad, but ended up in the M240ix.... I'll try not to read it!!!

edit... that didn't work, was a nice read and I am both happy with what I have and wanting of the M2!!!

Thank you...very informative and persuasive!

bryan_G01 · 02-05-2018, 09:55 AM

you actually joined the "M" club, and its still a 2er so your still a member.

USA-RET · 02-05-2018, 10:22 AM

The article seems a bit slanted IMO. I could have bought the nicely optioned M2 for about $6K more than my nicely optioned M240i. I suppose if you were willing to pay $5K over sticker and then add a warranty package, you could bump $70K. All depends on how you want the article to read.

For a $6K difference and for someone that wants a true M car that is track ready, the cost to play is quite reasonable IMO.

The only reason I went w/ the M240i was the difference in the ride as a driver. If the M2 rode like my M240i, I'd have owned one.

Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to denigrate anyone that went with a M2. Every time I see one, I "drool".

wjjkoevoets · 02-05-2018, 08:37 PM

You didn't leave the club, you just upgraded your membership from gold to platinum :P

One big factor you missed is that Seattle has a 10.1% sales tax plus tabs are about $800.
