How often do you see another 2-series on the road?

3.0L · 01-18-2021, 01:06 PM

For me, it's been rare - maybe 4 to 6 a year. Finally spotted an M235i yesterday and that was the first one in over a year. Heh!

Sportstick · 01-18-2021, 01:14 PM

Two others live in my neighborhood...an M2 and a 228i. I see an M235i driving around nearby roads periodically.

BEM-S4 · 01-18-2021, 01:29 PM

Very rarely, quarterly perhaps? My area is very BMW-rich too seems like every other car some days.

AndDown · 01-18-2021, 01:45 PM

I've seen a convertible around town, that's about it. I think the 2-series fits the bill for a personal daily driver or with another passenger. I think I've only had a rear passenger once in the past 2 years.

USA-RET · 01-18-2021, 01:48 PM

Rarely. I see way more threes and the occasional 1 series. Down here, we have more BMW's than Corollas

4Hockey4 · 01-18-2021, 02:39 PM

Couple a week

dradernh · 01-18-2021, 02:49 PM

I've seen 2 Series cars twice in the past three years.

I see M2s two or three times each year.

grocerylist · 01-18-2021, 03:32 PM

I see one daily that's also in my neighborhood. Outside of the neighborhood in the Seattle metro area, I'd say maybe a couple to a few a week.

TwoTonic · 01-18-2021, 04:27 PM

I saw 4 M2's yesterday on hwy 92; well spaced out in traffic, so probably not part of a group. And other 2-series are pretty common around here (Bay Area).

harma24 · 01-18-2021, 06:46 PM

I don't drive as much as I was a year ago, but even now I still see at least 1-2 per month. When I was commuting into Boston every day, I'd say I saw 1-2 per week.

amutti · 01-18-2021, 07:21 PM

Almost never.... at least almost never a coupe.

PeteTheMailman · 01-18-2021, 08:04 PM

Was just thinking this, there's a 235 around my area. And an occasional 228. Out here in FL and maybe 1 so far, saw quite a few 4 series, and pretty much every other model. I prefer to have something that isn't common

MikeT · 01-18-2021, 08:19 PM

They're all over the place where I live (San Francisco). I was out for 4 hour walk on Sunday, and I probably saw two dozen.

John in VA · 01-18-2021, 08:43 PM

One a week here in the suburban area west of DC.

PeanuKeeyes · 01-18-2021, 08:57 PM

I see 2er verts at least once or twice a week on average being driven here in Connecticut... in the winter

I mean, the weather around here is pretty mild

Top down?

mb67 · 01-18-2021, 09:19 PM

I have seen five 2-Series since I got mine three years ago.

cwilsong · 01-19-2021, 06:25 AM

I probably see one a month or so, and heck I live in the back woods of WV!

morphomeman · 01-21-2021, 02:00 PM

A good number here on the North Shore of Long Island. Mostly 4-cylinders. There is one other Estoril Blue 235 in the neighborhood. We wave to each other.

MidwayMuller · 01-21-2021, 02:25 PM

I see at least one a day over here, which was surprising with so few on this board. The PNW forum is a tumbleweed farm..

Lots of 228s, but also M240s and M2s. M235s are a bit rarer, but I still see one at least every couple weeks.

DanG · 01-22-2021, 12:37 PM

I rarely see any. Though yesterday a saw an M240i parked in the Holman QFC parking lot.

ZHP to B58 · 01-22-2021, 02:13 PM

Have seen a couple M235i's and 3-4 228i's in the last few months.

Way more sightings of M3/4/5/8s, M850i, etc. but all stock.
