If I were you, I'd show up--even if you don't clear through to a slot.

Oh, and for Alex, it comes with a red start button...

Closest dealers for ma are also MD and VA, disappointing seeing how the performance center is so close to me

Bought new this is true for me also. But on my used list in 4 or so years.

Ok, finally drove an M2 Comp at the M tour.

Not sure about precise specs. It was a DCT, no sunroof, no adjustable suspension (do any of them have that?), and some ugly wheels.

My takeaway? It’s definitely more fun than the M3. It feels substantially smaller and usefully lighter. Even the non adjustable suspension was pretty good, compliance-wise, but was also nicely buttoned down.

If you don’t need the space and extra doors, this is the M to get.



This one isn’t. I didn’t drive it but come on, just look at it.



The color on this M5 is fantastic

I don't necessarily mind the looks of the X3M but that interior is a bit naff. I think if I were going to get a super SUV i'd want one with a great sounding V8. Maybe something like an F-Pace SVR. Would be curious to try out the X3M just for the hell of it. That M2 is perfect in every way- definitely BMW's best car.

The M2 is really appealing.
