[IMS M3]

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Picked up my 2024 M2 BGM with PCD at Greer last month, adding to my longtime street/track E36 M3 and E92 M3. First time ever purchasing an auto car (sharing it with my wife).

The PCD was awesome. First off, my wife, who has never been on track and was intimidated by the thought of it, found it fun and welcoming. They told us that 50% of guests at PCD end up purchasing a BMW soon after the trip, and it's clear why - you definitely drink the Cool Aid (which was my intention for her as well). For me, I booked a private session so I got some much-needed time on the skid pad and hot laps around the track after the new-owner events (kind of lame if you've ever been on track). Overall it was a 10/10 experience. I then Tracwrap'ed in their parking lot and drove the 800 miles home to NY. Stayed over at Primland in VA - highly recommend if you like the mountain setting (last pic).

This car is really incredible. Jumping from an E92 M3, the M2's new tech, engineering and abilities are really jaw dropping. Aside from the numb steering feel and turbo lag (especially coming from an S65), the car is just so good. Suspension is great, steering accuracy and sharpness is incredible, and power on boost is wild. While it can't compare with the sound of the S65, shifting under full boost makes up for it somewhat.

First track event is in two weeks at Watkins Glen with GVC, so excited to get back on track for the first time in 13 years!

How long did PCD add timewise over normal delivery you think?

Gorgeous car!

Very cool! I would love to do this. I also live in the tri-state and the road trip sounds fun. I made the mistake of going with the manual, which my wife can't drive. This turned out to be a mistake for several reasons.

Beauty..coming from an E92 M3 ..the first time I test drove a 2024 X4 M40..I was shocked at how numb the steering feels..even in S+

I understand how you feel being a previous E90 M3 owner myself.

I would say the M-cars are much better than the non-M cars in terms of steering feel. Still, nothing compares to the hydraulic steering from the E9X.

This current generation has their own benefits though. Especially in terms of performance and adjustablility.

Congrats on the car looks great, glad to hear the wife enjoys the car also. Mine not so much 🤣

It's an SUV, not sure who you think is buying these cars but that ultra assisted steering is what 95% of the buyers want. BMW knows this.

Can you elaborate on the other reasons? I’m thinking of gbuying one and I’m leaning manual.

If they ever make an AWD version, then this car will be interesting. Until then, no thank you

Beautiful M2! Thanks for sharing the incredible experience.

[cfm56d7b]

Fantastic build. Enjoy every mile!

[IMS M3]

Thanks for the kind words. I have a few interesting projects planned, so looking forward to sharing any learnings.

In the end it was about a 1-2 week delay vs dealer delivery. Worth it!

Oh, I thought his Primary Care Dentist dropped it off or maybe he bought it to alleviate some of his Post Coachella Depression.
