I was told by CA that BMW has a real marketing problem with M2. Virtually every M2 that gets to the US has already been sold, so there really are no cars on the dealer lots for prospective buyers to look at or drive. The only exceptions are where the original buyer backed out of the deal or died. You might see a new M2 on a dealer lot for a couple of days, only while the original buyer is waiting to pick it up. The same sort of problem affects all cars that are in high demand. BMW 60 day program is a partial attempt to fix the situation.. when I was looking for an M2 there was actually only one single vehicle available to drive in all of the mid Atlantic states, and I only got into that vehicle because I pretended I really wanted to spend 15 ADM to buy a white automatic. Well, the actual red beast that i ordered is still in transit somewhere. I can only imagine what it is actually going to look like., but that is actually a lot of fun for me.

This is exactly true. I’ve test driven like 3 of them and they were all used and only lasted 24-48 hours. My CA has me on speed dial whenever he sees one. The few new ones I’ve seen have all been waiting on their owners.
I’ve driven lots of G80/G82s though.

It literally doesn't seem like a marketing problem to me if the cars are sold before making it to the dealership. They'd be wise to save that money and use it later when demand subsides. I was able to drive a new 2024 with a manual transmission that my dealer received. I think the reason that it didn't sell immediately is that it had some sort of $10k performance exhaust system. I can't imagine that being worth the money. That said, it was gone a week later.

If it had the MPerformance exhaust system (which in no way worth even half its cost), it was most likely a P1 car that wasn't purchased by its original customer.

That’s it. My sales representative said that it’s not worth the cost when I questioned it.

Personal preference, I guess. To me, its hideous and does nothing to benefit the overall look of the rear of the cars.we won't even get into discussion of the lack of added performance it provides.

Some big wings are cool. ^^ That one does NOT work on the G87.

Was it the Brooklyn Grey one at United, by chance? I saw that one before it sold. I also assumed it was sitting because of the exhaust.

Yes. That was it. I’m glad I got to drive it though. I wouldn’t have placed my order otherwise.

So which one of y’all put your order in through me at Gwinnett? 😂

I wish I would have! I didn't since I was just tire kicking after work, but the salesman couldn't have been nicer.
