Needs to be done.

dobbo99 · 04-14-2016, 07:46 AM

still looks like it could be lower though, maybe its just the pictures.

RobUK · 04-14-2016, 12:28 PM

Does the M2 have 'road presence'? Difficult to tell in pictures, yes: air intakes, flared arches, alloys, quad pipes etc., but would you get out of its way sharpish like you would an M3/4?

Mattyk · 04-14-2016, 12:30 PM

Much better than YMB IMHO which I feel is just a bit wrong.

430GH · 04-14-2016, 12:48 PM

Pop into my local dealer (Berry Chiswick) last night that I've ordered the 430 from looking to see if they had a M2 I could have a look at and possibly put a deposit down for one in 2019. Reply was "sorry we don't have any and any we did have sold out months ago"

Also had a chat about the the M4 deals TRL has been doing and swiftly walked away when they started talking figures lol sooooo tempted but can't justify the outlay or to put it another way, the man maths have failed me

Mark1966 · 04-14-2016, 12:57 PM

The blue really suits it, the lines seem to get lost on the black, i reckon 75% will be in the blue.

I would still stump up the extra and get an M3/4 though

philiper1 · 04-14-2016, 01:02 PM

I think the best colour is blue for M2 as black doesn't do it justice!

PurpleTT · 04-14-2016, 01:59 PM

There's one in Vines of Redhill's showroom if anyone local wants to see one in the flesh. Not for sale, probably just as well as I did rather like it!

JustChris · 04-14-2016, 02:14 PM

Would be this LBB for me, which I don't 100% like but it's the only unique M colour.

Still not seen one, popped into local HJ Chester today and they 8 M cars in the showroom!

gtsussex · 04-14-2016, 04:41 PM

Have seen all colours now and LBB is by far the best. Still think they could have made a bit more effort with interior. Sounds good though.

Couldn't have put it better.

OK I went scientific and messed about with configs and deposit. If I try to spec the M2 as similar as I can to the M3 I'm getting.....the M2 costs....MORE on PCP. This is bonkers!
M3 is 450HP, CF Roof, CF Driveshaft, S55 enginer, Sub 4s 0-60, seats 4, has a huge boot, has leather everywhere... oh and it's Competition Pack too! The M2 is getting much better reviews and is great to drive though, some saying faster on track.

M2 to me currently only makes sense if you plan to buy it cash and keep it....or if genuinely near full time tracking the car...but then a 1500kg car with iDrive, 44 seats and no oil temp isn't really a great dedicated track car?

For a guy doing 20,000mpa, kids getting bigger....I'm going with the money saver
