M2 - M3 See Saw - Back on M2!
Hello M2 fans,
Well I had decided to stray for the pack, had an M3 CP on order and was 2 weeks from taking delivery...then decided it wasn't what I wanted at all. I'm sticking with my M2 allocation from W49 build. Mineral Grey 6MT Sun, Moon & Stars Roof That's all

Go back to basics, what do you really WANT in a car. What will make you LOVE the car. I got carried away with a good deal (on the M3)....but it drew me away from my original intentions and requirements. I want that M235i 6MT 'feeling' back and cranked up to 11/10!! Not long left for us all with a Petrol 3Litre I6 and 6MT, enjoy it while you can in good health!!

Good man
I was the same months ago about the M4,decided it was too big and wasn't really what I wanted,would have resulted in buyers remorse,selling it on and then losing a ton of cash.So I'm glad I waited,although the wait has been brutal (week 31 for me) Did you have a deposit down on the three'er and if so did you get it back ? |

Yes I had a deposit down with TRL and it wasn't returned too soon to delivery I guess, not over the moon about it BUT it's less of a mistake than taking the M3 CP. I'm going to start a UK deliveries thread, will be sparse but was good fun in the F80 boards.

The deliveries thread sounds fun. TRL gets a massive amount of trade,so they've done well,had the deposit from you and a sale on your cancelled order I had to sign a disclaimer stating I would have to make up the shortfall of any sale if I cancelled Edit:Not from TRL I hasten to add.

The deals on M3/M4s do make it tempting it has to be said.
A 'basic' spec M4 is broadly similar money to a well specced M2 with current discounts but realistically I would want to load it with options, individual paint and comp pack which would widen the gap back out somewhat It would also get away from what I wanted from this car; namely a nimble, fast and fun car with just enough practicality and relative discretion as a DD (also have an X5 and company vans to cover other bases). I only really considered the M4 as I couldn't find a sensible M2 build slot but then a spot of good fortune smiled on me TBH even if I decide down the line I want an M4 (which I doubt), I figure I could pick one up very easily by comparison without losing too much on the M2 which I'm not so sure of in the reverse situation. |

I've been thinking a lot about the M3 as well and to put it into perspective.. A base M3 has an ED invoice price of $57,020. That is so damn close to a M2 if you were to purchase now since US msrp is the best deal you can do. If the price is that close, then I think its a no brainer. Plus you get a european vacation out of it
Of course if you want a car that is more compact and feels more agile, then the similar prices probably doesn't matter. |
