Didn't know that. Does the college grad incentive apply to the M2?

Certainly, nobody would be driving a manual if we didn't make emotional purchases.

No college grad rebate. Only military rebate. Search for it. I talked about this before. No changes as of now, unless another region is different. I can only guarantee PNW.

In your opinion. Everybody has one.

Seriously doubt the CA could have had any say in the matter even if he believed the car belonged to the OP.

My philosophy is I don't fall in love with a car until *after* I buy it.

Before I buy the car I can walk away if the deal doesn't suit me or I feel the dealer is not being honest with me.

Good perspective. You love and enjoy what you have, not desire to have.

Well said.

No opinion here, just facts. If you aren't running medical supplies up and down the Autobahn, the only reasons to buy an M2 instead of a civic are emotional. There's nothing wrong with that, but my point is it's silly to pretend that anyone here is a hard-nosed rationalist in the dealership. Anyone buying an M2 is simply not that.

You are correct, everyone is entitled to their opinion however why come on a BMW website and spew your opinion above? Did you think it was going to cause a bunch of converts to agree your opinion? You had to know itbwould just cause the responses you are getting and being treated as or considered a troll.

I could go on and and and make remarks regarding your opinion however I have already lost too much of my life just typing this response to it.

Because the holier-than-thou "I've made it a policy never to get emotional about a car. In life’s grand scheme 'It’s just a car' as you said" is laughable when we're all on the M2 forum. Everyone here gets emotional about cars.

Not sure you understand there are other opinions and/or you are this thread’s appointed arbiter of decision/reasoning for automobile purchases. However, given our disparate ages and your lack of experience with regards to mine, would you feel better if you’re consulted before my next purchase in order the selection properly suits my wants but more importantly my needs? I hope so….

Rock your new M2, man. Just don't act a fool by stating you don't get emotional about cars, because you do. I don't know why you'd pretend otherwise.

No need to say someone would be silly to feel hurt by having a car sold out from under them when these are entirely emotional purchases in the first place.

I’d really like to see things from your point of view but I can’t get my head that far up my ass. Hit the road troll, I sincerely doubt you have any disciples here.

Okay, I rescind my point. You obviously need 10 stages of traction control to find just the right amount of wheel spin on your way to Starbucks, a place at which your M2 will remember to roll down the window for the drive-thru. No emotions there, just business!

I've been a car guy way before I got my license - i'm 46 now, and i've had a few disappointed and/or failed purchases early in my driving career. I've learned not to get too emotional before a purchase -- just too many points of failure IMO, or getting into a car over my head or one thats just not right.

Unless the papers are signed, and i'm out driving my new car - I simply just don't get too attached to it.

I think you're right that most of us get emotional about cars, but I'm not sure why you can't understand or accept that some people have a different perspective than ours, or why you believe you know other people better than they know themselves.

This is hilarious.. there is a level of excitement and anticipation with purchasing a car like this. It may not be emotionally attached, but I would be super disappointed if my car I was planning to buy and had been waiting for was sold out from under me. I don’t think it’s emotionally attached, it’s just disappointment as your anticipation of the new car is high. Everyone looks at things differently, no need to fight about it. Some people figure there will be another car coming (like a girlfriend) and others think it’s the one that got away.
