I've been waiting for this for about a year and a half. In July 2021, I bought a BMW X3 M40i and had written into the deal, first dibs on the G87 M2.
Dealer followed through and I got the first allocation, and the order was placed on 2/28/23! Build should begin in April and we expect delivery probably in June. I cannot wait! This will be the last fully ICE manual BMW M car, their words, not mine. Future cars are either mild hybrids or full electrified, and they're working to kill off the manual. For M3/M4 you can't get higher variants with a manual, and a BMW boss said that there was great debate as to whether or not they were going to even offer a manual in the M2. I'm glad they did, and since it will be the last ICE manual M car, I expect to keep it forever.

The b58 is a monster. I looked hard at the x3m40i a while back.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The B58 in the M40i was fantastic. This car has the S58 M version. Yup! That B58 almost got me to try BMW, and I may have, had EV's not been a thing and gas prices not be what they are. |

I was astonished at how good the gas mileage was with that car, even with me heavy footing it everywhere. I averaged 25mpg easily. Even better than the turbo 4 I have in my Mazda CX50 which hovers around 21MPG. |

Whelp this was short lived. Found out today that dealer wants to play ADM shenanigans after over a year and a half of telling me no more than MSRP.
I told them to fuck off. I don't need a baby M car bad enough to play their fucking games. |

Did you get your deposit back or hopefully not pay it yet? I'd call around until you find one that has an available allocation and won't play fuckfuck games. If you're not against ordering from out of state I can ask my SA if they have any. |

Interestingly my local bmw dealer immediately reached out to me and offered me their launch car at MSRP! So all is not lost yet! Also, I didn't have a deposit down, the first in line allocation was part of a deal I had with them in 2021. I wasn't smart enough to also include "at MSRP" in that deal. They did follow through on the first allocation though!  Here's an example of several emails from them confirming MSRP; "Justin, YES, looks great thus far. No additional add on above MSRP. And I sincerely appreciate the consideration, please feel free to forward my information. I gladly can be of assistance. Thank you for your correspondence. Warm Regards," |

Congrats! I've been away from the BMW lineup for a while now, but the M2 is probably their most enthusiast-oriented car. Our X3M40i was FAST. I can't imagine that engine in a smaller coupe!

Taking the opportunity to take a 50th anniversary launch car which comes in the blue. Otherwise I'd be waiting a long time at this point if I didn't move forward with the fuck fuck dealer. Which I could wait obviously. But I'm heading to 50, don't want to sit around waiting for the chance to own a car when there's one in front of me today.

I like taking various high performance driving courses from time to time to keep skills fresh. I did Skip Barber in the 90s, and then Bondurant back in 2017. I'm ready to hit it again and do BMWs iteration this time. |

Awesome car. Once my kids are grown I may consider something similar. For now, with a family, I had to consider options with a back seat. I was looking at the. 3M competition in the flat grey with red seats. Or that bright yellow. Even had a dealership up north with one that we were talking trades.
Ended up buying a Ford Raptor instead. I think the BMW quality would have been nicer(obviously) but the truck just made more sense. |

One cool thing about being one of the first to get a new car, I just found out, is that aftermarket people will offer to use you to test and model their products.
I had a forged wheel company reach out and I'm going to be the pilot vehicle for a wheel they're releasing, which I love, and I'll be receiving a 50% discount! |

My car should have been delivered on 4/8, but has been delayed at the NJ port since arriving in the USA. Turns out, a splashguard underneath was scraped during shipping, and they won't release it until they fix it.
Found out today that the part should be in the USA next week, that my car is a priority for the VDC, and that I should receive it by the 2nd week of May. I think it's pretty cool that they are making it right before releasing it. I've come to learn that the BMW VDCs are extensions of the factory and often do better work than the factory if they have to correct paint and such. |
