I wish it was a typo lol, and you're probably right about locking me in

I have an email out to the sales person, just waiting on a response. Given that I am #11, I agree it doesn't add up. Also, promised MSRP which I am happy with.

Good luck on your color decision. I am having a hard time between LBB and AW.

Solid advice on the dct vs manual. hmmmm I knew joining a forum like this would only make this stuff more complicated lol

Back to the color conversation. For me the LBB is the only color that shows the contours of the car so that is my choice. Having said that I think there will be a lot of LBB cars

I had a feeling I was walking into thread jack when I disclosed my DCT preference! It's all good. And yeessss the contours on LBB, that's what has attracted me to that color

BTW, congrats. I'm coming to the M2 from an 06 Crystal Gray STi. I felt like it was time to grow up and get some niceties. The STi has been a great car but I'm growing soft in my old age and want a more plush interior.
p.s. get the manual.

Congrats to you too! The Subaru community has been good to me, 10 years on that STi, I just hope the young punks who buy our cars don't crash em too fast lol. Also, very good points about the longevity of LBB... I didn't think about it that way.
Thank you for the tips/advice fellow future M2 peeps. I guess the solution to all of this is I spend another weekend walking around the lot looking at various colors in direct sunlight, in the shade, test drive a manual m4, and come up with more things to be uncertain of... big picture these are all good problems to have
