Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Hey guys, long time Porsche driver but just got super lucky snagging a manual Frozen Pure Grey Metallic M2. I was still #29 on the allocation list (on since June 2023) locally but my salesman called me when one randomly came in stock. I put a hold on it that night and 4 other people tired to buy it on my drive over in the morning.

Already swapped 50th anniversary badges, and have an appt to powder coat wheels bronze a la 827M. Loving the car so far, and this paint is just out of this world!

Heres a dump of photos Ive taken the last few days:

awesome! I've got a frozen portimao on the way cause I'm a sucker for that blue, but this grey made me think twice. Should throw the pics in this thread as well

Congrats, thanks for sharing!

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 03-08-2024, 11:57 PM

Congrats man. And you got the sunroof too, just like I would've. This is simply awesome!

Bumpinjeep · 03-09-2024, 01:30 AM

Congrats on the car, that's such a nice color, really shows off the lines.
I would suggest forgoing the powdercoating the wheels and getting some nice forged aftermarket ones in bronze. Might cost you a couple grand more than powdercoating but will save you like 40 lbs of rotational mass.

RockCrusher · 03-09-2024, 08:44 AM

That color looks great!

abrandonment · 03-09-2024, 08:52 AM

Keep the photos coming for those of uswptgjj waiting.

Nice 👌 has to be my next car this

sam.f80 · 03-11-2024, 12:34 PM

This paint looks insane, congrats

Autobahn SoCal · 03-11-2024, 12:43 PM

Color looks great! Sorry you lost the tire lottery though with the P zeros😕. I’ll never understand why they put those on an M car

Chris_DUS · 03-11-2024, 12:46 PM

Great looking car, hope you have lots of fun with it! How fun would it have been if the last number of the paper plate was an 8 lol

MOTO · 03-11-2024, 12:49 PM

Sweet! Congrats. Such a beautiful car!

My order for the same is in…albeit not going manual myself…and now just the painful wait!

Westside Guy · 03-11-2024, 01:05 PM

Looks like some idiot cancelled their order at the last moment and you were the beneficiary! 😉

The color rocks!!! 👍🏻

Raikkonen · 03-11-2024, 01:11 PM

944 Turbo? S2?

wesleyan92 · 03-11-2024, 01:28 PM

Gorgeous car, OP. Looks like my neighborhood

WagonMaverick · 03-11-2024, 01:51 PM

Bronze wheels FTW!

FrozenGT · 03-11-2024, 02:41 PM

Don’t waste your money powder, coating cast aluminum wheels. Those wheels are so crappy they’ve been breaking apart at the hub.

I’m part of a BMW CCA and our members have been complaining about this.

Bmw went super cheap on the wheels on this car.

Love the color. I would save money and buy the 1000 M gold wheels. Or get yourself a set of gold CS wheels.

M4rchael · 03-11-2024, 03:22 PM

Great looking car! Color goes crazy on the M2, makes it look so mean. Where in TX are you? Congrats on the ride!

eman4517 · 03-11-2024, 05:07 PM

Congrats! Wow, that Frozen Pure Grey really compliments that car's lines so well! Probably the best color I've seen so far on a G87 M2 to date.

TRACK M4STER · 03-11-2024, 06:32 PM

50th Anniversary badges were only available from BMW on vehicles built in or sold as 2022MY as a reference to BMW GMBH starting in 1972. Changing your standard roundels implies your vehicle is 2 years old. I assume this is not a 2022MY since frozen paints were not available until recently.
