Slight objection. You can use HUDs with sunglasses. I have, that's what angle adjust is for.

You may still prefer not to, that's fine. I just want to make it clear to others that it's not like, literally impossible or anything.

Lol. I'm not going to use a HUD sideways. That's idiotic.

Sideways is an exaggeration. But if you don't like it, that's fine. I was only pointing out (for sake of others who don't know) that it's totally usable with sunglasses.

I don’t have the HUD optioned on my G87. It doesn’t work with polarized sunglasses on my G42.

I have a 23 M240 with iD8, HUD cannot be seen with my Maui Jim polarized sunglasses.

Doesn’t work with Rayban polarized too 😂

I agree, this is interesting. More data needed. I'm willing to change my stance if something has indeed changed.

[rcouchh]

That is disappointing to hear... will be interesting to see once I get mine. I wear Rx polarized RayBan's every time I drive

This keeps coming up over and over. Polarized lenses are designed specifically to eliminate glare and reflections. Your HUD is a reflection. Your polarized lenses are doing what you chose them for. Just buy a pair of non-polarized sunglasses just for driving. There's plenty of options.

If you really need polarized glass, I’ll post this again;

There are also other brands out there that are advertised to work with HUDs.

I'm still on the fence about a couple features, namely the HUD and the heated steering wheel. The wheel, I could not care less about, but it may help with resale value down the line. The HUD is pricey, and I thought it was a lot of fun in the car I test drove, but I'm not sure if it's really worth it. I have until the order is sent for production to decide.

I'm coming from a 2007 Corolla CE, so hopefully this feels like an upgrade

No movement in allocations so far

You just put your order in on April 29, 2023? If so, you could be waiting months for your allocation (depending on your dealership and what their usual receipts of allocations are from NA). Some of the "larger" or higher volume (favored?) Dealerships are averaging 2 a month but that is not the norm nor average across the board. Many have only received 1 or 2 allocations since the initial February drop and some, I believe, have yet to receive any.

With the upcoming model year change, dont be surprised to be waiting till the fall or later for your allocation (I do hope for you, I am wrong).

I thought that might be a possibility, but the sales guy said he expected 1 allocation per month. They're a "center of excellence", if that means anything. I know a million things could cause a delay, so I'm not worried about it. Just a bummer

I got a call from my dealer today that my M2 allocation is ready to rock.

It goes into production July 7th and will be ready in August.

Despite loving the new M2 (especially after seeing what Precision Sport can do to it) I'm having second thoughts about having it in addition to my M4.

Is anyone looking for an allocation? DM me.

If everything goes according to plan and no extended stays in Quality Control, I’d say the end of August is possible to Florida. My car was produced in mid April and it JUST caught a ship.

My co-worker's wife received delivery of her M2 today only to find out that the moonroof (which is standard on non carbon fiber roof) was omited from the build. Even the dealer had no idea.

I have a 24 M440i Coupe on order, I am hoping my build doesn't have issues.

So she ended up with a steel roof with no sunroof? If so that's going to be a unicorn in the USA lol

Or maybe it was just the cf roof.

Now that’s a quirk. Lol. Did the dealer say anything about correcting it?

[MrTiger]

Hey guys, after long absence I'm back to BMW family. Ive placed order for M2 on 5/31 with $1500 deposit. Steel roof and standard seats in order to speed up the order. Dealer informed me that it might take 12-14 months before car arrives. They have currently 11 cars on order and received only 1 allocation.
