I do see them frequently in Jacksonville, FL. I think I counted 4 in the past week.

Tried to keep up with a 230i vert on my way back from Vegas. Kept up a couple miles with it but when it sped past 90 I backed off as I was in my SUV with family. Saw a blue M2 for a brief second but it was doing 90+ and all I saw was the M2 badge.

I live in SE Phoenix (the Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek area) and I have only seen a single BMW M2, but so far no other 2 series BMW's. So while it is cool rolling in a M240i with Mods to make a statement, I do admit it does feel a little isolated.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more around.

Your experience sounds pretty much like where I am on the east side of the Cincinnati region. 2 Series are simply not a thing here.

There are plenty of X-Series SUVs, though. Between the sales numbers for those and the 3/4 Series, I'm surprised that dealers even have 2 Series on their lots. Of course, the new 2 Series GC fixes that problem, which is all about price points for would-be BMW lessees. What a world, huh?

Surprisingly, I did see a 2 Series at a stop light recently. It was coming out of a supermarket parking lot and aimed right at me (we were both at the head of our respective lines of cars), and I thought "Wow, another 2 Series!" Then it turned and I saw that it was...a 1 Series. What a letdown that was!

Every once in a while I see a 2er, maybe once in 2 months I'll see a 240, and almost never see another vert. I still get compliments at red lights, and from bikers rolling by. Mine is getting a new engine, and I can't wait to get it back...

I finally saw a 2 Series two days ago, it was an EB 230i coupe and it had a courtesy car decal in the rear window from my dealer.

I was in the wife's Mazda 3 lined-up behind an Estoril Blue M235i at Eastgate in Clermont County today. I initially saw it from the side in the roundabout I was entering and thought: "Whoa - there goes my car!"

That's the closest I've been to a 2 Series in the 4+ years I've lived in the Cincinnati region. I've had ~3 other sightings from afar during that time. Our cars are thin on the ground around here.

Same deal here. Lots of 3s, see them all the time, and occasionally a 5, 6 or 7. Rarely see a 2. More 1s than 2s even.

I just saw 4x 2 series today. I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 of them share my same commute in the opposite direction so they seen more common.

Me, too. Tons of BMWs around here of all shapes and sizes but 2ers are rare. Before I got mine, I ran into a guy at a wine shop I like who has one. I also had a colleague whose son owned an M2. I think those were all I saw until I bought mine and became a little more tuned in to seeing them on the road. Still very rare, though. I saw an M2 earlier today and a 230 a couple of days ago at a stoplight but it had been months without seeing any before then.

I kinda like the feeling that I'm driving something rare.

Congrats on your new acquisition - I'll keep an eye out for you, too!

I drove a 228i for three years (just traded in last week for a 2016 M235xi coupe in mineral gray) in the Detroit metro area. Tons of BMWs, relatively few 2 series. I've seen several M2s, a couple of white 228i convertibles. My "new" car is the only M235i I know of around here.

Congrats, you will love it. It is pretty rare as well, just not as rare as the G29.

Not so often, but as luck would have it, there's a biter in my neighborhood with an exact copy of mine! Lol... But I was here first! And I'm tinted! Hahaha

Was weird as we passed each other...
