M2 @ Chicago Autoshow?

ChrisK · 01-24-2016, 10:31 AM

Does anyone know if the M2 will be at the Chicago Autoshow?

Nothing is listed on the show's site: http://www.chicagoautoshow.com/vehicles-on-display/

This is a huge show - they'd be dumb not to have it there.

Agreed, but who knows.

Philly may not be getting one show starts in 4 days still can't get my dealer to confirm one way or the other.

Chicago puts on the best auto show IMO - love the two huge halls that they hold it in each year. Typically there for at least 2 hours, sometimes we used to take a beer break and then go back in.

Also it is usually held right around Valentine's Day - which is perfect.

although Chicago has a huge Auto show. The BMW lot size in compared to other mfg's is modest and small. in 2011 If I remember BMW only had 8 cars to touch and the newly refreshed Z4 on display. last year they had a small space but most of the models out with i3/i8 emphasis.

The black tie event there is also the best one I have been to, at least among the 6 or so I have attended.

I like the way you think! And, I hope that you are right!

The Cincinnati Auto Expo is Feb 18 or so. In recent years there has been no real BMWNA support for the display, just the two local dealers each bringing a car or two from their local lots. My CA works the show, so I'll check with him and see if there is a possibility of the M2 being there.

CAS is the only one that still uses webcams.

TunedM2C · 02-11-2016, 02:00 PM

It is there. I just saw a media persons live periscope showing it on display. Woohoo!

JustChris · 02-11-2016, 03:23 PM

There's a clue in the photos section....

ChrisK · 02-11-2016, 04:56 PM

Wasn't going to the autoshow until - NOW!

zenmaster · 02-11-2016, 05:02 PM

If it has fold down rear seats, note its VIN.

Sorry to say I can prove you wrong. NO M2 at the Baltimore auto show. I pitched a fit to the Towson rep there! His "excuse" was that the Baltimore show was only sponsored by local dealers and none had an M2 yet. Washington and Philly had M2s because BMW corp brought them! Not happy!

doug_999 · 02-14-2016, 01:34 PM

I didn't realize that fold down rear seats were in question - otherwise I would have checked. The product manager for the 1/2 series lineup was there however and said no way was he adding a sunroof to the US options list.

It was in question because, for some reason, it wasn't listed as an M2 option (standard or otherwise). However, fold down rear seats are listed as options on other BMWs.
