Canadian Premier at the Montreal auto show Jan15-24

The M2 will make its Canadian Premier at the Montreal Auto show (jan15-24)

http://www.auto123.com/en/news/2016-...emieres/61666/

Jan 16 update

I went to the Auto show tonight. The M2 on display is LBB with 6MT.
I must say, the colour and car looked stunning under the lighting conditions. I am glad I chose LBB.
The car was locked however I asked if they could unlock it since I already placed my order which they did after few questions.
I was very pleased with the interior of the car however I must say I am not sure what to think about the carbon fiber on the dash and in the center console. It had a weird texture and felt really different than the M4 carbon fiber.

It's going to be a long wait till early May.

Great news! I will order mine on Tuesday and will ask my SA some tickets for the Auto Show to go see and sit in the car.

I just got back from the Detroit show (closer to me) The one on display was DCT. The car looks so much better in person then it does in pictures (not that the pics are bad) I also loved LBB, looks amazing indoors in that lighting. Now if I can catch an LBB at a dealership in the sunlight to confirm my color so I can stop going back and forth on color choices . Those hips!

I went to the show on Sunday evening. The car looked just as good in real-life as in the pictures online. I had the privilege of sitting briefly in the car as someone was kind enough to accommodate my request.

The "open-pore" carbon fibre finish is very textured and is a nice change from the usual gloss CF in other cars. I really liked the alcantara door inserts as well. Other than those two elements and a few discrete M logos, the interior looks quite "normal" compared to a regular 2 series. It is not high luxury, but for my own requirements, this is quite nice enough. The main point of this car obviously not the interior.

Today I test drove an M235 with automatic transmission so that I could get a brief sample of what the M2 could be like, expecting it to be better than the M235 in all regards. And the M235 was a blast to drive! A few minutes later I was already placing my order (I think the more accurate word would be "pre-order") for the M2.

I'm attaching some pics of the M2 I snapped with my phone at the show.

Hmm... honestly I didn't pay much attention to the M4 GTS other than registering in my brain that there was one next to the M2. The M2 had all my attention.

A naked woman could have walked in front of me and I don't think I would have noticed. That's how much my attention was focused on the M2!
