Hopefully the last door ding, but probably not.
That just really sucks, and drives me nuts how people don't care for others stuff.

Glad you finally have it! The break in miles are the toughest - be strong!

I picked up my personalized plates today! It took a while to come up with something clever and available that included M2 and my alma mater. This was the best I could do.

Clever, for sure!

Looks like I'll have a similar colorway in the area when I get mine. I'll be on the lookout!

This looks awesome man. From a fresh appearance perspective, this is probably the best option for those of us who like the sunroof (which I do) but also want to enjoy the looks of the CF or black roof as well.

I bought this one with no engraving. I couldn’t find any others that I liked that covered the orange “Hook ‘Em Horns” at the bottom of the license plate. It’s billet aluminum, well manufactured with a great finish as it should for the price.

Car got tinted today and got to hang out with a Cybertruck. 70% windshield and 35% on the rest. The next option down was 20% and that was way too dark for my liking.

Pic was taken by the PPF place. They are starting PPF today.

I bought an M Performance Trunk Spoiler, but opted not to have it installed. I installed one on my 2017, but I think the rear end of the G87 is well balanced and really doesn't need it. I felt like the 2017 needed something more back there to balance it.

For comparison...definitely benefits from getting rid of that oem lip thingie and adding a spoiler.

Does the front bumper cover have to come off for the grill swap?

What was sticker price ? I think with dealers now doing a little less than MSRP and car being used, $5k -$8k less than MSRP is probably about right for private party. Trade will always be a rip off, except for maybe how the market was a couple of years ago.

BMWs are notorious for depreciation. I wanted a new and unmolested M2, but waiting and getting a used one that’s a year or two old is probably better financial move.

As,far as Subarus go, I’ve had 3 STis since 2007. My current low mileage 2020 STi limited has only depreciated $5k in 4 years if I sell private party. They hold their value extremely well.

I think a generalization is being made that may not apply everywhere. While maybe some dealerships are selling for less than msrp, I know that is not the case everywhere.
