I had my order in last week and already received a production number, however I don't see any order info on BMW's site. Hopefully that will be updated soon.

I like the contrast steering wheel - beige on black.
I think they should have called the upcoming FWD 2 series Active Tourer the V2 (V for van). That way they could start an entire new line - V3, V4 (van/coupe combo), V5, V6 (bigger van/coupe combo), V7 (uber big and luxury van), each with different variations. Then - take that in your face, Mercedes! |

People who care about the M brand will know what they want. Lots of premium products are named in similar ways. With Canon cameras, the 5D is much much better than the 550D. Same with Nikons. Benz S55 is better than S500. It's just marketing and I think you're getting a little too worked up about it. Don't worry about posers, just enjoy your car man.

Well this mineral grey and tan interior looks really good, but I think sliver with red interior would be the way to do it .... Still anxious to see what deals they will be offering for this car I feel like it going to be overly expensive might just wait till the end of this year to see what they offer

the cars on the photos seem to be a mix of various different combinations of options. Probably to run down minimum/maximum specifications, usability, etc. 17-inch winter tyres with M Sports-package but with standard suspension doesn't add up to me..

For everyone that has one on order, good choice. Get out there and rack the miles up, I really hope that you enjoy each and every one of them. For me the M235i is not special enough to replace the 1M but then the M4 doesn't look like it will be either. I think I will wait to see the M3 & M4 in the flesh and decide wether to purchase the M3 or wait for the M2. I remember when I ordered the 1M and everybody thought I was crazy spending nearly £50'000 on a fully loaded 1 series with a service pack. 2.5 years later It still makes me smile and I just can't find anything to replace it with.
On another point M sport, M performance, full blown M, the badging doesn't really matter, driving the 1M has taught me that. To the average driver it's a boy racer 1 series with a body kit, to the educated it's a oh my god is that a 1M I never saw one before do you mind if I can take pictures/ sit in it etc. Like I said at the start if you ordered one enjoy it, you made a great choice. |

Yep! I love it even more... Definitely waiting a few years to see if the M2 comes to life though. THAT will be the M badge that I want...

I wish there was a gray/silver somewhere between Mineral and Glacier. Had a E46 M3 with a Medium Metallic gray that kind of split the difference, Mineral is too dark almost black seeing it on other BMW's. Dark cars show the scratches after a few years and get dirty fast but it is a nice color (Mineral). I'll probably go the Glacier Silver route, never shows dirt or scratches and is a classic look.
