I was there yesterday and saw lots of M2's scattered around the facility. I even sat in one and listened to the awesome cold start sound.

M2 seems like a perfect size!

Can't wait for your report!

Not surprising that these ended up there.

Sounds like most of the auto show cars and journalist photos op cars will be making their way to an east or west performance eventually.

Agav13, interested to hear how you thought the M2 EPS compared to the wonderful hydraulic steering of the 135is? How noticeable was the difference?

Thanks for posting!!! Damn ... those MG pics look really good! I just might need to revisit my choice of LBB. I'll be near the Thermal Club in two weeks ... I'm hoping to get a chance to at least see an M2 in person.

I can't wait to hear more of your thoughts on the M2 compared to the 135is!

It's very noticeable. Definitely lighter but in a good way. On the track I felt as though it is easier to turn in and control the vehicle, especially when the rear end kicks out (which is very easy to do in sport+). I love the steering feel in my 135is and would not be disappointed with the M2 steering in an every day driving situation.

Well your in luck. While on the skid pad in M3's a tractor trailer pulled up and delivered 8 brand spanking new production vehicles for a training next week where they will be teaching roughly 500 individuals. I tried to get pictures but the kindly asked me not to take pictures as they had to put tape over the BMW and M2 symbols as they are full production vehicles that have not yet been released to which I obliged. Will take a ton more photos and videos tomorrow and will do a full write up in a few days. If anyone has any specific questions or requests let me know and I will try to best to provide you.
