im about to give up... im just sick of waiting for this car to show up... should just find one used and skip a few options or get a supra they seem to be easier to get

[ronin13013]

Thats how I got my HEA. I don't regret my decision. I love driving this thing. As long as the car has everything you want, I don't see the problem. Consider all options.

If the M2 was your dream car don’t just give up. The wait can be frustrating but it is worth it. I love my BG with CF roof and manual.

I'm trying not to. But seeing others go get their allocation in 3 months. when for me its taken 11 months just to place an order I'm rather just frustrated in this entire process.

I have on order a BG with carbon roof but nothing i can do but wait

Don’t! The wait is worth it!
G80 for me but definitely worth the wait.

[AudiDad]

Are there a lot of used ones to even begin to look into ? I figure with all of the parts that you’ve ordered, you definitely want to stick with that platform.

Some of this i'll DIY. But yes there is a shop that I use called Altered Components the owner is really cool dude knows his stuff and worked on all my VW's in the past.

First ill do the grill guards, mud flaps and the skid plate.
Then after PPF or wrap ill go down to the shop to have the x pipe, and the HAS installed, after i know the car, and have at least learned tracked it. i dont want to gimp the car in any way, i do want it to be a street beast and still be able to enjoy track runs too.

now that i realized i ordered the wrong CSL DRLs i need to return those Those will wait along with other cosmetic stuff around summer

Well I’m glad starting 2024 you’ll be able to start the Bmw chapter of your life. I’m staying subscribed to what I am sure will be an epic build.
