Not Bat related but I did a nationwide search for a 2017/2018 M240i convertible with a manual trans. Only ONE came up. These will be with something at some point.

The M2 and M3 will probably be the only BMW’s available with a manual by 2020 or when ever the 2 series gets redisinged.

I've owned enough silver and grey cars that I should be tired of those colors by now, but I'm not. That's beautiful.

I've seen them in the Atlanta market. We tend to get the corporate cars, since we're the closest big market to Spartanburg.

Well goddammit.

Again not Bat related but I don’t want to start a whole new thread. I really did NOT need to go drive a 981 S. Jesus I love that cae now. I’m so confused between it and an M2.

The big difference being, well besides the obvious 2 seat - 4 seat and convertible thing, is the same money buys a every so slightly used 2018 M2 or a also slightly used, mileage wise 2014 981 s.

I don’t have kids and I rarely need 4 seats so that part does not matter.

This is a purely emotional choice and I love both.

I ran across this one today while looking.

I think I’m leaning toward the boxster now. Ugh.

Btw FC I’ve kicked your persivating record in the ass.

Not BaT, but mighty attractive for someone looking for a well specced 987.2:

Holy crap that's all the money for that car. I'd buy JVs instead.

That's a lot of dough for a 9 year old car. Guy wants 50% after 9 years? Well equipped, sure, but boring color.
