Where’s that from?

Axylus · 06-23-2023, 06:10 PM

Does this mean they use m4 buckets in m2’s

The shell and structure are the same but stitching and color patterns are unique to the M2. Since they don’t make M4’s in Mexico (zero chance of stocking an M4 logo), the mistake must have been at the seat manufacturer elsewhere.

Impressive that made it through all the various checks from Factory, Port to Dealer.

Are you going to keep it that way? Interesting talking point.

If you get it replaced ask if you can keep the M4 logo as a souvenir.

F12M6MD · 06-23-2023, 07:05 PM

Yeah I think like a rare baseball card error, my car is now worth at least a mill.

I’m going to switch the grill to M3 and the rear to M8. Lol.

M4s are assembled in Germany. They were most likely shipped from Germany to Mexico with a batch of M2 buckets. How that slipped through the different QCs is beyond question.

So what are ya gonna do?

This is actually more cool than any Pokemon error or baseball print error etc. Those prints don't go through a similar qc, and the fact that this made it through a full qc with such a cool error makes it.... More..... Interesting.

Not worth a mill right now but certainly cool.

JMcLellan · 06-24-2023, 10:33 AM

Amazing. I would leave it as it and enjoy all the convos you will have about it.

For sure! I think I would leave it as well.

I envision seeing it on Mecum in a few weeks….sold sold sold!!!

Carefree · 06-24-2023, 12:34 PM

Put an M3 badge in the grill and on the trunk.

Rx-7ames · 06-24-2023, 01:54 PM

Not gonna lie, I kinda like it. In fact, I have a bigger problem with how out of place the curved display looks from this angle.
