Here's the listing: https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2029664

I have a sales menu for an order which is $797 month so yours is a lot more per month or I would certainly take over the lease, but thanks for letting me know.

I’ll see what the options are otherwise I’ll drop a couple grand into the G42 to perk it up a bit. My buddy’s M240i is pushing almost 600hp with spacers and dropped. The B58 rules all.

I have both cars, and can confirm that no amount of mods to a G42 xDrive can deliver the full experience the M2 brings. G42 xDrive is an amazing car no doubt, but just not M2 amazing in terms of the full package, feeling, experience etc

No carbon roof for cost savings?
Where did you get the black rear bumper inserts they look good.

Not for cost savings, just didn’t care enough about it to hunt one down with it. Rear inserts are vinyl as I was testing to see if I liked how it looked before dropping $2k on the OEM parts

I say stick with the vinyl and save 2k lol. They look great!
The CF roof adds around $40 month to payment so I’m on the fence if I want that or not, although I never use my sunroof.
Why did you also keep G42?

They are basically the same length right? My garage is tight and my G42 fits perfectly now.

M2 is a little longer in front and rear

Just read the G42 is 179.4” and the G87 is 180.3 so good enough to still fit.

if you really want to update over the g42 so bad and also for the updated tech, then why dont you wait 1 more year and you will get the new upgraded head unit from factory which will land you idrive 8.5 100% and/or most probably even the latest idrive 9 ? also more color choices, most probably the new M flat bottom steering wheel and the stock hp increase ?

Usually it’s a store operating policy, but I have the offer sheet and everything all at MSRP.

Add it. A G87 equipped with the CF roof will be more desirable at resale.

Does the same sentiment apply to the buckets in your experience, or only the roof and a MT?

No, cf buckets do nit add to resale value, in general. They actually limit the buyer. To those who think I am a naysayer...go ask some dealerships.

Fully agree. Same applies at Porsche.

Bro, Galleria BMW gets allocations every month , they are in Mississippi. And they do not charge any markups….the only issue is getting the car shipped to you if you aren’t close or don’t want to drive far to get it

A new steering wheel for MY2025?

[Retro707]

Wow I can’t believe people been paying that high a mark up!

I reached out to my buddy and got my allocation right away .. I actually sent my build today and went for all the carbon goodies except the mirror covers which I’ll get for 2k less. I had a 21 GT4 and recently sold it since I got a GT3 allocation. Only downfall of the GT3 is a year wait ( but it’ll be worth it). Going to drive this M2 in the meantime and then prob give it to the lady if we decide to keep.

I hear nothing but great things about it and Iam excited !

I had a 15 M4
18 M3 competition
And currently drive a 21 X5M Comp.

Hopefully the M2 lives up to my experience with M cars 🚙

I really wanted to do the frozen blue but decided to pass and went with the light blue .

I have great relationship with my dealer since I know the director in finance and have bought many cars there. If anyone looking for an allocation I am sure I can get you one. ( Northern Cali )

I got my G87 under MSRP, picked up last week.

How much under msrp?

And I don’t think there’s currently any incentives

Rates I saw were in the 5%s for 60-72 months

The way values are etc leasing might not be too bad on this

No incentives on M cars currently and the money factors went way up recently (I had my rates locked in last month so it didn’t affect me), around $600 off MSRP plus they gave me a $75 coupon to use in the parts dept, better than nothing for sure.

What’s does it mean 23R to 24R?
