Traded in the M2 on a new Shelby GT350 Mustang last week. I just couldn't get to really like the M2 but the Shelby really makes me smile.

The car had a $10k ADP but that went away very quickly. I got them to drop it to about $1k under MSRP. It was the last one of their allocation and had been sitting on the showroom floor since June. It had never been test driven, it had 5 miles on the odometer when I drove it. The salesman...

I fixed the problem. I traded the M2 in on a 2017 Shelby 350GT. I never did bond with the M2 or even like it. Never had a smile on my face when driving it. On the trip home from the dealer I had a huge grin on my face which still hasn't gone away.

2017 BMW M2, 6 MT, 1,2XX miles, just had its 1,200 mile service. Mineral Grey Metallic. Entire front clip and 8" into the roof covered with clear bra. Car is flawless, as new condition, just not the right car for me. Located in Erie, Colorado near Denver. Clean title in hand. $58,500 cash...

Lots of choices out there, I haven't made a decision and probably will take some time to do so. In the meantime I have a 2016 Miata to which I have added a BBR Turbo system, suspension upgrades and 4 pot all around Wilwood brakes and a 2016 Ram 1500.

It wasn't a significant improvement in the rev matching overrun. The car will be up for auction on BaT soon.

Got the M2 back from the dealer after its 1,200 mile service. Gone are the 5,500 RPM limit, no full throttle and top speed of 107 MPH break in restrictions. I managed to find some open road and ran it up through the gears at WOT. In the center display there is a screen that has two meters...

Quote from the article: The car in the article has the DCT but the previous one they mention had the 6 MT.

I recently read in a Motor Trend article about their acquisition of a 2017 M2 Long term car that it has a dry sump oil system. Is this true? With all the underbody cladding it is impossible to tell. Shining a light down the oil filler it appears that the replacement oil goes directly into the...

Thanks for the info.

Its hard to believe that the back up camera is not standard on all M2s. Has anyone looked into doing a retrofit? For $110 I bought an aftermarket retrofit camera and wiring harness for my 2016 Miata. Installation was $85 at a car stereo store although I could have done it myself but I don't...

Thanks, I wasn't sure someone hadn't already posted pictures of the bottom of the car. The clear bra covers the full front bumper, full front fenders and hood as well as the A pillars and the forward 8" of the roof. Its also on the mirrors, headlights, door handle cups and the top of the...

I put the car up on my lift to make it easier for the clear bra fellow to do the front bumper. While it was up there I took some pictures of the under side as well as my tailored front license plate. Oil pan access Exhaust system. Part is round and part is oval Rear suspension and...

Flyin Miata has done somewhere between 50 and 100 conversions on all four generations of Miatas. It had a few glitches but all were fixed. The engine was the 480 HP version of the LS3 crate motor. The new owner had Flyin Miata install the 525 HP camshaft which is a nicer cam to live with at...

My M2 replaces a 2005 Miata with an LS3 V8 conversion by Flyin Miata and a 2004 Caterham 7 SV with a turbocharged Miata engine and transmission. I built this car from a new rolling chassis.

One more step towards an all automatic transmission world. [rant] Glad I got my M/T M2 before this goes into effect. The article doesn't specifically include the M2 but since it is part of the 2 series...

Thanks, that's perfect. I will use an Escort sticky cup to mount the detector high and to the left of the mirror, its more stealthy than having it hang below the mirror on a blend mount.

Yes, its an Escort 9500ix detector on a sticky cup mount. I plan to hard wire it soon and be rid of the curly cord and the necessity of unplugging it from the 12v port when I leave the car. Since the M2 is a tin top I may upgrade to the MAX360 which incorporates the directional arrows. I...

Some Pictures of my new M2 Sorry about the bugs on the front, its the buggy season and I was out the night before in the car. Although it looks to be dark blue in the pictures it is Mineral Gray Metallic.

Has anyone weighed the wheel and tire for each end of the M2?
