I cannot imagine starting over paying for a new M2 after just getting mine in January but there are some nice colors coming out on the MY25 models. And then there is x drive at some point....it just never ends.

I do wonder what I could sell my car for though. There is a used 24 M2 at Motorwerks with 4500 miles on it. Asking price is $69,900, about 3K over sticker price. I've done a couple Kelley blue book valuations and private party sale value is $69 to $71K. I don't think there is enough data yet to to establish the used market prices.

I was mostly joking about trading it in, but with those values…dang.

For sure. I figured you wouldn't trade it in just because of a weird noise.

I honestly don't see any used M2's (ones without the carbon pack) selling for more than $65k. Minnetonka has a new M2 selling for sticker price of $65k.

That would be cool if you get a chance. Listen for a higher pitched ‘fluttering whistle’. I tried to record a video of a few days ago, but it’s not great. I’ll try to shoot a better one today now that the sun is peaking out.

I drove a bit today with the sunroof open and did not notice that type of noise. Hopefully you get it sorted and resolved.

Thanks for checking. I made an appointment for Monday. Crossing fingers.

I dropped my car off for the window whistling issue and the 1st year old change. Haven’t heard about the whistling yet, but two things about the oil change:

They stated:

1) No signs of anything leaking under the car yet.

Yet? lol. Man the stereotypes about BMW leaks are real.

2) My tires are down to 5mm all around after only 4k miles.

Good lord! I don’t track and haven’t even done any burnouts. I have the Michelins. Anyone else have this much tread wear after only a year?

That sounds like a bad talk track from the service tech. Why should we be worried about leaking?

I haven't even thought about my tire wear yet. I have about 1500 to 2000 miles on my michelins and they look new to me. Thought I did expect to have to get new tires every 2 to 3 years. We will see as I'm driving my car far less now with picking up a daily driver last week.

I brought mine in for the 10k service with brand new star ps4s's on the rear and they marked them as yellow for wear. I think they just come with very little tread depth?

I guess so! No big deal, I was just surprised. I was imagining 2-3 year tire replacement was the norm (depending on miles and habits obviously).

Hey everyone,

There is the German-Octoberfest at Chanhassen Cars n Caves tomorrow from 9 to 1. I'm planning to get there around 8:30 with my buddy and his 76' 2002. Hope to see some other G87's there!

I saw five other G87's there and an F87. Pretty good showing for us M2 guys but overall the show could have been better. For being a German show, there was an awful lot of Jags and muscle cars taking up parking spots in that middle courtyard area. Usually whatever the theme is they only let those types of cars park there.

It was a decent show. It was the first time I have been to this show since 2018ish.

Were you and your friend sitting at the tablee near the courtyard around 1045?

We were in the last row parked along the curb next to the giant retaining wall. It was cool to see the track focused as well as frosted ZB G87 builds.

I’m hoping for a few good shows into November. I won’t be able to make the Cars and Coffee and Octaine and Caffine events the next two weekends.

I did see your car and ITSMYFALLT car in that spot. I was parked in that back patio/courtyard area with some Porsches. As soon as I pulled in they told me to drive back in there. I showed up at 8:40 and I was surprised how full things already were.

I was not sitting at the table. My 3rd grader ran into a friend there so I pretty much just chased the kids around for a couple hours. My buddy had the light blue BMW 2002.

That is probably it for car shows this year for me but we'll see.

Hey guys,

Anyone in the market for all season tires? I purchased some Continental extreme contact all seasons in January when I got my car. I put about 1500 miles on them and then swapped the summers back on the car. I am planning to leave my summers on the car year round now, and garage queen the car Nov through April.

I don't know what is a fair used price but new I paid $1180 for the tires.

If anyone is interested let me know. Would be a good opportunity to save cash for someone planning to get some new ones ahead of the coming winter.

[JMcLellan]

Going to toss this out here again for the local M2 crew. I still have some Continental Extreme Contact all seasons bagged up in my basement (stock staggered wheel size). Barely any miles on them. $700 or best offer.

I also have a RaceChip tuning box that I used for maybe 200 miles. It works great but I am in the process of selling my car so need for it. $300 and it's yours.

Let me know if there is interest in these items.
