Manual or auto?

Auto. Drove both. Was initially set on the manual but after driving both preferred the auto.

Gosh this is a good operation and the work is phenomenal.

Not sure why the photo is on its side.

Picked up mine yesterday afternoon as well Lex, Expel STEALTH and Expel Ceramic all over including wheels and calipers.

It does look really good. It's getting expensive isn't it!

Run in service is on Wednesday then I'm good to go.

Taking mine to the Collecting cars event tomorrow with Chris Harris.
Anyone else going?

Just registered and will be in attendance this morning. Thank you for posting the event, otherwise I would have had no idea it was on.
Cheers

My car just had its break-in service Friday. I am having a new issue with far higher fuel consumption. Is this normal

Great to meet you today OBS, car looks great and another manual is good to see.

Cheers,
Lex

OldButSmooth · 02-04-2024, 02:31 PM

Likewise Lex, it was very good to have met you, Zen and Roger. Apparently we are all manual drivers...a nice surprise in 2024.
Best Always

Anyone willing to vouch for a window tinter in Sydney? I used to send mine to the mob Canterbury BMW sent their cars to in Five Dock but they seem to have closed down.

Alpine* · 02-06-2024, 07:49 PM

I didn’t use them for my windows, had that thrown in by the dealer in Vic, but I do vouch for Sydney Premium Detailing (Castle Hill and Artarmon), they did my stealth wrap and both the quality and service have been great.

Hi all - at what km did you manage to do your BIS ?

I know 2,000km is the recommended, but wonder if anyone here has gone over, or under significantly ? Would there be any issue if so ?

I don’t think it would affect warranty etc here in AUS.

They won't accept it under 1800kms. I did mine at 1865kms.

rogueGTI · 02-09-2024, 03:43 PM

Any issue if I go over ? Like 2100km ?

Wow that's a great deal.
My local dealer said the best he could do on a new base M2 was $134,500. The carbon was close to $150k. Now I know they can go much lower before I place an order. Cheers

Yeah I was quite pleased. It was right at the end of the month…they were looking to do deals on cars in inventory. Good hunting!

IT guy · 02-21-2024, 06:26 AM

Has anyone been told they are on a ship from Europe recently?
For whatever reason my car ended up back in Europe and is now on a ship on the way down.
Haven't been told the ship name yet

I'm generally not a white fan but this looks fantastic

If anyone is on the FIDELIO it's just left Baltimore on the way to Brunswick.
It's come from Southampton, Belgium and Germany.

miro67 · 03-05-2024, 04:58 AM

Just purchased one (well two) today. I got black with silver wheels and my brother in law picked up grey with silver wheels. Both brand new from existing in country BMW stock. We expect delivery in the next few weeks.

So it’s now time to finalise some lowering spring choices, and spacers (that’s easy) and maybe a boot lip and a front lip.

Cadillac · 03-06-2024, 02:25 AM

After not being able to get any dealer to offer a sunroof on the M2, I bit the bullet and ordered an M4 Competition G83 Convertible.
Decided to wait for the LCI when I hear launch wax Marchand could not be happier although the price went up slightly it was still only an increase on the almost 10% discounted price I got initially.
Power is unbelievable and going up another 20HP.
This one will go to Noosa while in Melbourne where I work I will continue to enjoy my M2Comp.

Best of both worlds…my 3rd M and 8th BMW.
Delivery hopefully in July.
