I know one guy who bought a ZB, he is up in Pfug. I've seen red, white, black, blue and BG in Austin.

It was honestly, a quick look...we were going in opposite directions on a road with a fairly high speed limit. But it looked great.

For me personally, I actually think all of the colors do look great. The pics here on the forum are awesome, the couple of colors I have seen in person were also nice.

I just know I'm keeping the car for a bit longer than some, so I go to my slight favorite that I will never get "tired" of or want a change from...and that's the Alpine White...especially with a few contrasting black/carbon pieces.

Oh, nice!

Maybe we can try and organize a small meet & greet! It would be cool to see all of those cars in person!

Same here, mine is still at the port with an estimated departure date from the port of 3/20. Fingers crossed it gets delivered same day.

I just flipped to "In Transit" hoping that means this afternoon or tomorrow. Just waiting for the CA to confirm.

Can't wait to see pics of your build!

That’s my goal as well-pick up tomorrow. WaveRunner, where is your dealership located? I’m in DFW and as of now my car has not arrived at my dealer.

Yes, I came from a 2016 F30 340i...and this G87 feels much wider...and I parked it in the garage and there is definitely less space (width). It is definitely shorter than the other car.

Would love to hear your other thoughts.

BMR.WRLD Any other thoughts now that you've put some more miles on it?

I have 1600 miles now. I love it. I'm used to this kind of power so that part doesn't wow me. However the feeling is wild with the level 3 aggressive shifts jolt you in the seat lol. Smooth power comes alive in the top end. The car feels small to me. I love the tech and I enjoy figuring things out about the car. First mod will be AA EL as the car is too quite lol.

I haven't yet had the time to enjoy it on a back road but soon, this weekend.

How are you loving it?

That's great.

I'm only about 450 miles in, so still in break in period.

I'm still loving it.

I drove the first couple of days in whatever modes it came in, and I was like "oh, it's not loud at all". But I was told by my family it was loud from the outside. Still haven't really heard it from out there yet.

But I put it in to the sport modes and can definitely hear a bit of difference in the car, but like you were saying, not loud. My wife said it was louder from inside the house when I arrived.

Like you mentioned, I'm enjoying learning the little things and (sounds silly, but) getting used to CarPlay. Never had that before.

I'll have to hear a sound clip once you install the AA EL!

My wife told me to hold off on the cosmetic things I had planned for the car for a bit. So, I guess I'll enjoy the mods little by little...maybe appreciate it more? LOL

I used the bmw for a week at work so that's why I got extra 600 miles right into RIS, with 30 miles to spare. I can't hear the exhaust over my music, I have to open the window to hear it. The car makes me feel special behind the wheel.
I still haven't done a launch contol lol.

LOL

Launch control is way down on my list of things I *need* to do.

I'm the goofball over here giving a little wave to every 2 series vehicle that I see...like the way school bus drivers give a little honk to each other every time they drive near one.

I never see another M2, and 2 series are just as rare for me. And I drive all over Texas every day lol.

With the exception of having to use the M2 for a week of work last week, my driving it is reserved to after work and weekends. It's sort of like my therapy 🫠
