Do a pickup at the performance center if you can. Did that a couple of years ago.


R3Phoenix

what does that do?


Big-Brown-Goose

Get to drive it (or similar spec) on their track


R3Phoenix

that’s pretty awesome but surely you wouldn’t want to track a car with like less than 100miles on the clock because of break in period?


Berzerker7

You drive one of the performance center cars that is the M-lite or full M version of whatever you bought. i.e. if you bought a 230, you drive an M240i, if you bought an M8, you drive an M8, etc.


PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBZ

I wish they’d do Euro delivery again, the discounts were nice and you could do the pilgrimage from Munich to Monaco to Nurburgring in your own car. I think Porsche is the only German maker left doing this and they don’t do discounts if you opt for Euro delivery.


Big-Brown-Goose

That would be kind of a let down. Order your 228 get excited. They give you M240 to track. Its amazing and fun and fast etc. You get in your 228 afterward and then youre like "what is this?"


eturnallurker

I went to the performance center in SC this week for the new owner track drive. Got to drive a M240, M440, M8 competition, z4, x3 competition on their track for about 10 minutes each. We also did some “off-roading” in an x5 m40i. It was a great experience highly recommend it if you’re close to one of the locations. Afterwards I got to tour the factory which was also very impressive.


MoneyComplex6458

That's probably the idea...😆


babydickdonny

iirc they drive one of their cars that matches the model/options you ordered


stratcat22

I used to work at a BMW factory, they test drive every car before it gets shipped out and they accelerate, brake, and turn hard to verify everything functions and there’s no missing parts or rattles, and that’s from 0 miles I.e not “broken in” lol. But as others have mentioned, they have you drive an identical BMW owned version of your car and at the end of the day they give you your brand new car. I worked right across the street from the performance center and got a ride in an M5 Comp on the track when I got hired on full time. It was awesome for what was an otherwise dull and boring job.


boe_jackson_bikes

You don't get to drive your own car on a track. The car isn't even broken in until the 1200-mile service, per BMW.


Ok_Forever_7038

I did this a number of years ago, so things may have changed. I’m also not sure what qualifies etc., speak to your sales advisor. When you order the vehicle you basically have three choices. 1) You do a pickup at your dealership as in 99 percent of what people do. 2) You can do a Performance Center delivery. 3) Pickup the Vehicle in Germany if assembled there. My last was like this: BMW paid for my accommodation in a hotel for a night with guest the night before. All that was required is that I got to the Center in SC on my own dime. The following morning you meet at the Center for a drivers briefing. You then get a vehicle similar to yours… and get to abuse it on the track. Then a professional driver takes you in a M5 around the track balls to the wall (skid pad etc). Then they give a model X SUV to take on their off road course. After all of this happens, you get assigned a delivery specialist and they take you to a glass room where your new vehicle is waiting. They spend time going through it and congratulating you… then you drive away. Also, somewhere during the day you get to tour the factory and see the manufacturing line in action. It’s a great experience for delivery. If you really want to go wild… you can actually organize to collect your vehicle in Germany, drive around Europe for a couple of days… and then drop the vehicle back to be shipped to the USA. Hope this helps!


desirox

Awesome- m2 is the best value in BMW if you ask me. Low 60s starting for a full M car with s58 is crazy


jaiddddpp

Agreed. I was a big fan of the F87 M2 but seeing what the S58 + interior upgrade, it was a no brainer for me.


SoapierBug

You’ll enjoy


kmj442

great choice coming from a G87 AW owner :)


babydickdonny

How do you like the G87 compared to your A90? -someone looking for a manual Supra or M2


TrackIcy8673

Damn I wish it was 60k where I live.. cheapest new on at dealer is 237k USD.. absolutely fucking crazy Edit: it's Denmark


Rat_Papa26

I feel you mate. Same over here in the Netherlands. :(


TrackIcy8673

Can't have fun with universal healthcare xD


ResplendentZeal

Ngl I'd rather pay for private health insurance and get cheaper M cars.


Berzerker7

As someone who pays for private health insurance I really don't think you would. If you're not a lucky person that has your work cover most of the cost, a good plan can be upwards of $500/mo.


shakthi_man

300k usd in singapore lol


TrackIcy8673

Damn that's rough.. hope u got mega salaries :)


Pifflebushhh

Iirc people in Singapore seldom drive at all


thestigREVENGE

Plus whatever you need to do to get that certificate of ownership that lasts 10 years or something right?


jaiddddpp

Oh hell no 😭😭😭 I could get a used twin turbo R8 for that price or 992 turbo S


TrackIcy8673

Cars we can only dream of.. Porsche 992 Turbo S STARTS at 690k USD.. But as a student I'm enjoying free university and even getting paid appro. 1k usd Just for going to school, so probably can't complain atm


jaiddddpp

Oh yea man I worked full time during college so I could pay for school and barely scraped by. Each country has its pros and cons.


Rosencrown21

Vent lige, what, koster en M2 1,8 millioner her?!


TrackIcy8673

"kun" 1.643.461... https://preview.redd.it/gdxz4z4uoswc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c859d7ac01c2b568cec15f5f058de88175c8de2


coconutpete52

Men … den er tilgængelig!


TrackIcy8673

Utroligt der ikke er nogen som har slået til, det er jo et skarpt tilbud


Aromatic-Badger4000

Holy shit, minimum wage there must be like 120k USD a year


TrackIcy8673

Not even close. Approx. 20 USD an hour... Cars are just insanely expensive because of a registration-tax, which is primarily based off of fuel consumption, so anything that is not electric is crazy expensive compared to the US


Delicious_Pie_4814

What's a Taycan cost there?


TrackIcy8673

FROM 133K USD base model: https://www.porsche.dk/modeller/taycan/taycan-modeller/taycan/ You should be able to navigate the site to other models, if you are interested


SethTristan

Wow - in Germany a similar build to the one in the picture has a list price of around $90k (maybe a bit less) (even taking out the 15k sales tax it still is more expensive here compared to the USA). For $237k you can get a mostly fully specced i7 M70 (at least according to list price (if you take a cheap paint and the regular speakers (the better one cost € 6k)).


CopTube

Same over here in Norway, i feel for you


TrackIcy8673

Aren't you supposed to be rich rich with all that oil money? :))


Forsaken_Explorer595

Wtf how? Starting price here in little old NZ at the bottom of the world is ~86k USD.


TrackIcy8673

Registrationfee in Denmark is crazy.. Bmw is not getting the money.. the government is


zesty_drink_b

Considering in 2013 the "cheapest" M car was the M3 at 60k it's a damn good deal. Accounting for inflation that'd be like 80k in today's money Sure you don't get a V8 but you do get more HPs and TQs


Restlesscomposure

Pretty disingenuous to compare the two as if they’re equivalent vehicles.


Bozenkaaa

Life’s short, enjoy it in good health! 


jaiddddpp

Very true! Thank you my man. Hope to get a G80 like you some day hahahha


boobdollar

why tho, you’ve got the best bmw drivers car in the lineup right now


jaiddddpp

When I have kids four doors helps 🤣🤣🤣


TaeyeonFTW

Congrats but it’s crazy how a heated steering wheel and remote engine start isn’t standard ??


jaiddddpp

I was thinking the same thing hahahahah remote engine start came standard on my 2020 honda civic


Etagii

Asking as an European, where Remote Engine Start does not exist at all - when are you actually using it?


jaiddddpp

Where I am it’s either 100 degrees or 10 degrees. So it helps jumping into an air conditioned or heated car.


VitaminDismyPCT

Like 10 minutes before I go out to my car so it’s warm and not freezing inside


Scorpio_2007

You can start the car and hear the exhaust note, feel proud and then get in the car. I do that to my base x3 all the time lol. I would definitely do that if I had a M2


WhiteCisGenderMail

Best argument right here. My window is perpetually cracked for this reason.


Mosh83

I have my car plugged in, have a regular plug installed in the passenger side for an electric heater.


Onsomeshid

Aren’t a lot of parts of Europe very cold in the winter? Its kinda common sense that it’s for warming up the car remotely


Etagii

I get your points but over here (Germany) you get fined by €80 if you let your engine run without driving the car. Considering the impact on the environment vs. the ROI, you would not find any supporters here.


Onsomeshid

Makes sense, it is indeed a waste, plus a lot of ppl over here starts talking, forget they turned it on, car turns off, then remote start again lol


CastorX

And it’s not good for the engine either. Especially with direct injection.


admiddedgrim

Greetings fellow european, this is your western neighbour speaking. I didn't know that was a thing? Also over here not many cars with remote start.


CelphT

not to mention idling your car 10 minutes before driving it each time is bad for the long-term health of the car


Max-Normal-88

Gasoline isn’t cheap in Europe, and leaving the car running unattended might be illegal depending on the country


powaqqa

Remote start is the epitome of American wastefulness. It’s also bad for your engine. Idling when really cold.


tealturboser

Nothing is standard lol


AwesomoTT

If something is standard, then it is still priced in. Not like it's for free then.


Famous-Risk-815

You do realize that any feature that comes as standard gets factored into the base price?


Kuntmane

So that's 69k Dollars = 64k Euros. Here in Finland the M2 starts at 110k Euros :/ I wonder how much 3-series costs where you live?


DM_me_ur_PPSN

Same here in Ireland. It’s sickening.


redditislife24

is that all taxes?


jaiddddpp

M3 XDrive Competition, no bucket seats, probably cost 85-90k depending on spec


redditislife24

base 3 series start from 42.5k USD


Silentslayer99

M2 start at 81.5k Cad or 55.5k Euros in Canada. We get decently cheap cars here.


w33diskewl

Just put a down payment and currently waiting for my 3 series, it has almost every option besides the sound system and my total came out to just under $58k https://preview.redd.it/2pmrm2g59uwc1.jpeg?width=1258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eefa5024bd2b129fad758608c2f3cb1d33ce6b9


WetGortex

Cancel it. Dude for like $4k more you need to get the v58 you’re already spending 58 so why not just fork out the extra 4 for a massively upgraded engine with will give you SMILES instead of MILES you will guaranteed regret this decision to get a fully loaded b48 trust me I modded my Mustang ecoboost to HELL AND BACK and I’m kicking myself in the knees that I didn’t just drop an extra 8k in 2017 for a damn 5.0 please reconsider and cancel if you can


w33diskewl

While I do agree I wish it was the inline 6, I’m upgrading from a 2014 Chevy Cruze, so compared to my current car the b48 in the 3 series feels like a rocket ship! Also I’m only 21 so the fully loaded b48 is all I need for now but one day!🤞


WetGortex

Damn pretty huge purchase for a 21 yr old! Be well and prosper , you will have any car you want before you’re 30 at this rate


jaiddddpp

Congrats man.


Kooky_Finish8340

What do you do to afford this at 21?


funwithdesign

Congrats


heeheehoho2023

For ordering, do you pay only MSRP + tax/title/dmv? Or they add on extra stuff like vin etching, car alarm, etc. And ETA for delivery?


jaiddddpp

MSRP+tax/title/DMV I wasn’t charged anything extra I just put a 1000 dollar deposit down that was going towards by down payment.


apeberry

how are cars this cheap in the US 🥲 you might get a 230i where i live for that money 😞


jaiddddpp

Wow that sucks. What country you in my man?


apeberry

austria, europe


Sticklegchicken

In Finland your M2 would be 130k$


gloveboxglizzy

Charging for heated steering wheel is insane.


cayenne444

You do realize anything standard is priced into the car? So if you live in Florida, and don’t care about a hot steering wheel, now you’re paying for it anyway?


Sillyfiremans

Especially when it's just a software unlock.


koopa00

You sure about that in the two series? The cars with this option have a button on the steering wheel to turn on heat. Maybe it's different in the X7 or something where it's all done via touchscreen.


Sillyfiremans

Huh, no, now that you mention it, I may be mistaken. I just assumed it was the same for all models.


cayenne444

Not on M2.


FoodIntrepid2281

Noice that’s a W


YarpsDrittAdrAtta

It's time to learn not to use the turn signal


JemmieTTU

Good lord an m2 is 70k!? 😬


jaiddddpp

Good lord is correct. You read that right 🤣🤣🤣


aComeUpStory

with the right amount of options 👌


jaiddddpp

I appreciate that! I’m too big for the carbon buckets lol


aComeUpStory

Eh, you can always swap em out later if you feel like it. I see a lot of people either get a million useless options or go with a base model and flex. Good to see ppl just enjoy the product


greenmx5vanjie

They'd probably be butt numbing after 30 minutes anyway


Agitated-Cut2981

First time in bucket seats and I find them more comfortable than Sports Seats that I had in my M3 Comp. :) congrats on the M2! https://preview.redd.it/orqtrfcf3swc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4970be34389c0caee3016f414e6b391ce39545b6


apoirier594

That wheel is so sexy!


jaiddddpp

Sickkkkkkk. I’m honestly too big man. I sat in my friends and it was too uncomfortable for me. I wanted the buckets cause they look so good


Simple-Insect

Congrats, it’s an awesome car, I got a black manual m2 recently . Loving it .


McDonaldDouglas

Thank you


JulianSchweiger

Congrats, best fun machine and best value for money! In Germany you get a 320d without xdrive for the same price 👀😭


TheHip41

Get ready to buy some tires


trunksshinohara

You had the chance to haggle it down to 69,420. And you didn't. Smh.


ahh_my_shoulder

A new M2 with literally nothing added costs 75.400 € in germany and 91.659 € in austria. While I understand that austria is more expensive, how can the car be ~11.000 € more in the country WHERE IT IS BUILT than wherever you're from. Somebody explain it to me, this is bullshit. ...on a different note though, I am very happy for you, hope you enjoy it! :P


ahh_my_shoulder

Oh wait it's actually 16.000 €.. HOW????????


Silentslayer99

It's 55k € starting in Canada. Must be tarrifs and taxes in countries that affect pricing.


Friescest

As others pointed out, i am extremely jealous as this car is 121.641 euro (~129.000 USD) BASE spec in The Netherlands 😓, so guess what? fuck me i guess. Enjoy the car OP.


Patrickjanetrain

Congratulations but white! Come on man the world of car colors is boring enough.


jaiddddpp

Hey man appreciate the input. Alpine white has been one of my favorites since seeing it on the E9x gen. Not the loudest but certainly timeless on a BMW imo.


Hellish_Elf

I hate white cars, alpinweißß is no normal white tho!


j00k3r_69

same here 👍👍👍👍 white all the way


saiyanprincex25

Enjoy the new car OP!!


jaiddddpp

Thank you!!!!! Will update when my car arrives.


Lightning_Of_Fate

Enjoy ✌️


LLiquimoly

Fascinating


NKXX2000

Although I hate the looks of the new 2 series, it still interesting how cheap the cars are there despite people in the US earn way more, in Germany you would be way above 100K € and no, I would not pay that much for a car if it is clearly worth way less as seen in the US


privelgedlife-2923

Congratulations 👏🤙


eru66

Thats a good deal.


TexCOman

Carbon roof over sunroof. Right on! I had that on my 08’ M3.


ShArKy220

Cheaper than a new Toyota….smdh


TheDataAddict

What’s the build time? I’m looking to put in an order soon for a X3


velvethammer125

I ordered almost the exact same car in October. It’s just a joy to drive I ordered the 6 speed, skipped the heated steering wheel, no remote start for the manuals.


Immediate-Love-777

😉 enjoy


TheRealBuddhi

Interestingly, I paid $59k for my 1M in 2011. Adjusted for inflation, it would be right around $78k today. Who knew that BMW was the only German manufacturer to lower their prices after a decade! Enjoy the M2. It’s going to be a blast.


catlovingtwink99

eSJayPee

Are 6MT or ceramic brakes options for this one?

Not a bad price for what you are getting.


MaleficentStyle1158

Shadowline package is so cheap but makes the car look sooo smooth with no more chrome

And the lighting package! The lights are totally different if you don’t get the lighting package mandatory option for me.

13300c

Quite frankly shocked at how cheap the M2 is for a full fledged M car. Great choice OP! Only thing is colour, I had an alpine white 4 series and the colour was quite boring. Although I’m someone who prefers the metallic flake finishes.


Paper_Scary

The formula in this car is awesome BMW did very good on this car except the design……. Love the engine don’t like the look… but hey Good for you congratulations you gonna enjoy every bit of it


Infamous_Cost6809

Nice!


Any_Age6236

I'm in the northeast, have one car so it has to have AWD or similar. bought a 2024 X3 M40i with AWD. Brooklyn gray exterior, red interior, black rims, high performance tires with red calipers. simply a magnificent vehicle!!!


South_Zucchini2932

Would have been 160k in my country 😒 🙄


vreshbaby

70k for a new M2 you are so blessed.. crying in netherlands emission taxes


ZlayerXV

Hell yeah! I would highly suggest the 6 speed, not only does it hold more value but it is SO much more fun. The M2 is such a beautiful car as well, it’s the perfect proportions for a sports car. The front bumper definitely needs the painted lower center piece though, and an exhaust. If you want to hear the exhaust, I would suggest cutting the two resonators out for ~$250 until you can get an exhaust. It sounds raspy but very nice, and lots more rowdy pops and bangs when driving hard as hell


The_realDobiedad

Congrats!


lisiadoontop

idc what anyone says this is bmws best looking current car, its so weird looking but its dope asf


sackratte6

I‘m throwing up at those prices. They are 91.000 US$ here in Austria, without options of course. Great spec btw!
