G87 M2 delivered

[SCA]

09.01.23. My brother’s G87 finally arrived! It was built in mid June. It took nearly 80 days to receive it after production which is absurd for a vehicle produced in Mexico. The car arrived with 21 miles on the odometer and after business hours yesterday evening. They PDI’ed it this morning and delivered it around 1:30 today No detail so it is fairly dirty.

Edit: While it is nice it does absolutely nothing for me in Alpine White. Yawn…

Yes, my brother’s. I was editing the original post apparently while you were replying. My former #1 allocation that I relinquished to him. He was #2.

Looks good to me, actually prefer the odd looking front of the m2 over the standard series.

It is highly doubtful that you will be seeing a review from me anytime soon… I do not anticipate that I will be driving it. I also informed me CA today that if my build does not arrive on or before the first week of October that I am probably bailing out as I have simply lost interest.


I spent 4.5 hours preforming a post-delivery detail on it this evening. The build quality appears to be on the up and up. Certainly better than what I have seen coming out of Spartanburg for the past two years.

I like the lift in the garage, pretty cool. What is a 4.5 hour post delivery detail ?

He will enjoy it. But you’re coming over to the dark side…..

Unpack products, equipment, and setup at owner’s home = 20+ minutes. Hand clean wheels, which FYI these wheels are a nightmare to clean = very time consuming, Gyeon Tire Clean 2x, Initial foam cannon with Gyeon Foam, let soak approx 5 minutes, heavy rinse, CarPro Iron X decontamination entire vehicle, 2x in some areas (Iron Fallout was heavy), rinse, foam cannon #2 with Gyeon Bathe, wash mitt applied with two bucket method, throughly rinsed, Gyeon Wet Coat, rinsed throughly, blow dry, wipe down remaining water with Gyeon Silk Dryer, dry/wipe down door, hood, and trunk jambs. Clean up/pack up 25+ minutes.

Re the lift. The late 2002 S54 M Roadster in Oxford Green over Sand with 14k miles is on the lift. 1 of 17 ever produced. #7 produced for 2002 and the last one built in that color combo for the final year of E36/7 production. The 2024 X7 M60i in Marina Bay Blue is parked in the other garage bay.

I am already there… been there for two years with the ‘09 997.2 and partially why I am willing to fully ditch BMW.



Edit: BTW, the G87 makes an E46 M3 look tiny… my brother still has his ‘04 manual, E46 M3 convertible which was parked adjacent from the G87.

You helped him detail it for 4.5 hours and don’t get to drive it??
