Not me, I’m sticking with my OG M2 for both looks and sound. No way would I ever buy this car. The only thing I like are the new seats.

I like it, but won’t be ordering yet. My GR Yaris will be here in Jan, so will enjoy this for now.
The way the economy is heading it’s probably better to be in the Yaris for now, then pick up a M2 later, discounted or secondhand.

They don't come out till May 2023 so thats a daft question.

I probably forgot a smiley winkey thing.

If you don't like the looks of them then it makes total sense to cancel although weren't you tempted to see it in the flesh before doing that?

I think they look quite good but they're quite controversial I agree.

Good man! I don’t think you will regret that.

Anyway you will have to let us know what you think of the new car even though it’s not for me personally. BMW design at the moment is all over the place. Maybe it will look better in the flesh.

Hahah Nick. I did the same thing. Although I’m waiting on a price from the NHS scheme. They have not worked out the GFV for the car yet so once that’s down they can get back to me. The blue is a hideous colour. In my opinion of course.

I assume st33ly refers to the armed forces / emergency services / NHS deals offered by BMW GB.

Bit quiet in here, anyone else else got one on order?

Due in June apparently, my spec is:
Brooklyn Grey (least bad of a weird selection of colours imho)
Standard seats in black with the coloured stripes
Bi-colour wheels
Comfort package (heated wheel, comfort access)
Auto (too many years away from manual, my left leg’s withered away)
Driving Assistant (I use adaptive cruise all the time)

Can’t wait! Your turn…

Aaah finally some M2 thread action! I've ordered Toronto Red, bicolour wheels with the race track pack for the seats (do I really want cup tires and driver pack...?? No but I do want the seats and merino...). Blue calipers and comfort pack, I'm too lazy to be pressing buttons to open my car door and if I have it on my SEAT...
