Not likely unless they go back to solvent based paints. It's the reality of water based paints and all automakers have the issue.

# 1 Sadly they (BMW) could careless about those clients and # 2 China is now their number one market so their U.S. market is of little importance/concern.

I would definitely do Individual if available, life’s too short for dull colors.

FYI, Euro delivery was discontinued for U.S. customers.

Exactly! It would be so easy to give us a “classic mode” or something of the like. It’s just perplexing why the digital gauges in the G8x are so terrible.

For anyone who has / had digital gauges, how are they at night? I've had them on loaners but realize I only drive them during the day.

Are they subtle or do they sort of... glow? Where black isn't really black but more like dark gray, and / or you have to really have the brightness of them down so you can actually not get distracted (I suppose that's done automatically).

Bright! I typically need to adjust the brightness to avoid eye strain.

For now...

I'm hearing rumors about a possible re-introduction late this year or next, with a different format. By which I take it to mean, zero discounts or extra cost.

I was going to lobby and do the whole letter signature campaign thing to help it get reinstated, but if the M2 won't be available via Euro Delivery, I'll cease and desist. No other new BMW really does it for me...

Even if they bring it back, I wouldn't count on euro delivery for the M2. That means your car would have to be moved from Mexico, to Germany, then the US. I guess it's technically possible, but seems unlikely.

BMW should add a Leavenworth delivery option for the US

Mexican Delivery would be one hell of an adventure

I have not heard anything to-date and I am not disagreeing with you. I would be surprised to see it return as most U.S. BMW Centers were not sad to see the program go.

Probably for the wrong reasons.

Of course, it wasn’t making any money for them. But if BMW charged let’s say $3k for it and gave the centers half, they would become more interested. Just saying, not sure this is what’s happening but could be a possibility.

The hassle of doing a European delivery is why the majority of U.S. CA’s dislike the program. It can be fairly time consuming especially with what is received on the backend (commission).

Promotional pricing is a discount of $750 MSRP as follows:

2 Series $2,010 whsl / $2,250 retail
3, 4, X3 & X4 $3,345 whsl / $3,750 retail
5, X5, X6 $3,800 whsl / $4,250 retail
7, 8, X7 $4,250 whsl / $4,750 retail

$2250 possible for the M2? That'd be amazing...

Edit - for individual paint

n55f15 · 02-14-2022, 10:49 AM

Anyone have an idea of what the price hike will be from the M-lite to the M? M340 starts at $67,504 and M3 starts at $86,600 (Cad). Can we expect a similar jump?

New spy pics February 14, 2022.

The M2 was just spotted out testing against the M240, giving us a good look at how they compare in looks.

Interesting elongated power dome. Thing takes up 80% of the hood.

Navy Davy · 02-14-2022, 01:44 PM

It kinda looks fugly from all angles.

The Ching · 02-14-2022, 01:56 PM

I bet a 6MT version of this would be more fun to drive around than a 6MT G80 M3! I would so trade mine in if I didn't have a car seat in the back. I'll be happy for the people who get to own one, I can't wait to see one in the wild.

NathObeaN · 02-14-2022, 01:59 PM

When can we expect to see the covers lifted on this?

swampfox94 · 02-14-2022, 02:05 PM

Doesn't look much wider than the m240, might just be due to camo. Anyone have any pricing leaks yet?
