Man, your pics are killing me! There is supposed to be one coming from the port that I am trying to buy and it got nabbed for emissions testing.

I really want to drive one before I commit, how is the suspension? That and the rear visibility are my primary concerns.

The blue is dope, go for it!
Clearly you haven't seen my M2. It's all blacked out. I have a hard time getting away from black. I have to finalize my build today. My SA is going to murder me. Haha.

I'll be posting a new photoshoot shortly, so I apologize in advance

Putting the car in sports mode is how I drive 100% and it makes the steering and suspension great. I also drive manually and shift, I will say that the sports drive setup is fun and it hold gears very high which sounds great and gives lots of midrange power.

As for the rear visibility, I don't find it an issue at all, you quickly get used to the oval rear view mirror setup and I would not worry about it. But certainly I tell anyone considering it or even hating on it to drive it first and then make a call, its fun to drive....

Very nice; it's the same color combo I've ordered. Nice to see it in the flesh and validated...

Originally I was going with Misano Blue with Oyster SensaTec. Then I drove a demo with the Sports seats and had to have them. So that cost for the seats as well as the leather. I ordered black leather but then I realized the vehicle would be dark inside without the sunroof so I ordered that. Then.....on and on, pretty much got everything.

It is dark, especially with the wood trim.

Yeah I don’t use it much but it lets a lot of light in. The mesh sunscreen on my X1 got bunched up and had to be replaced under warranty. They had to take the whole cassette out. So I’m leery of closing the screen much. It looks like the X2 screen is sturdier.

Initial impressions, its a great looking car in the metal and its a nice mixup by BMW in designing a car that appears as a crossover but is nearly as low as a traditional vehicle...and it just looks different than anything else that bmw offers which I really like.

The color is great, I luv BMW blues and this does not disappoint. The maga color is great and the M sport seats are very comfortable and look dope. The interior lighting is really cool, the LEDs offer a very high class look to the interior and I think it really makes the car at night.

As for driving dynamics, it drives like any sports oriented BMW in the daily driving situations and on the highway. I haven't pushed it yet of course but it feels very direct and tight unlike any other crossover.

As for the performance of the new engine setup, its great and will not disappoint. Coming from the F80 I didn't know what to expect about how the feel and response would be, but its very peppy, the pedal response is good for daily driving and as I get more time behind the wheel I'll push it to see how it all comes together but no disappointment in my experience thus far. A highlight that adds to the fun is the exhaust tuning, its really nice for a stock setup and you'd never think you're in a 4 banger! LOL.

Only thing I can't figure out is on the Display screen content as it doesn't make sense that it appears you cannot assign the map to the right side of a split screen presentation...ie you can't have your radio/media controls as the main control with the map on the right as a smaller screen as all other bmws prior have allowed... Am I missing something, does anyone know how to show the map on the split screen ?
lol this is funny, I have a F80 at the dealership and they gave me a X2 loaner. Wife is loving the X2, and it's fun to drive zipping around NYC. I could only imagine the M35i version. BMW did a great job on the 4 cyl, it has a very peppy low end.
