Cool What's everyone driving while waiting for the M2?

Just curious as to what car you currently drive while waiting for the M2 to be released? Will your M2 be your daily driver?

My current car is a 2014 Toyota Corolla S. I have a 2015 228i M Sport on order. Thinking of canceling the 228i order and waiting for the M2. I am #1 on my dealers list for an M2. Spoke with my dealer last week, they are very supportive. They will cancel my 228i order with no penalty if I decide to do so. Need to decide soon though.

I'm hoping Sakhir Orange is offered on the M2.

The M2 will replace a 2002 M3 for me. I don't DD the M3 and I probably wouldn't DD the M2 either once it's broken in.

This is my current stable, 2013 M135i



Now my car for keeps forever is a 2003 Clio V6 255, one of only 18 UK cars in mars red and only 26000 miles on her.

Awesome cars! The Renault Clio is a masterpiece!

Actually I drive a E46 320d Touring MT2 all day, a E30 320i 1988 Cabrio in summer and a E30 S54 in summer ( http://e30s54.npage.de/ ) . Im going to sell my S54 because of the upcoming M2. I do not have the time to manage 4 cars, unfortunately.

Mine is the M235i EBII. Looks like my wife will win and get the GLA45 AMG at the moment so there's a slight chance that I will not be able to order the M2.

Thanks man, appreciate it

Only another 15 years until you guys can import them to the US!

It can be a tough decision on a hot summers day


It was even our wedding car 2 years ago



One of it's very few outings in the rain, it was worth it!!

An SO M2 would look so sweet. I'm coming from these cars at the moment:
- E92 M3: my weekend car, first M car and hoping to never have to get rid of it
- E36 M3: my usual daily driver, in really good shape too. If I get the M2, it'll replace this car. If the M2 doesn't work out the way I hope it does, turboing it or an older M is an option
- 4Runner: beater car. Paid $3000 and absolutely still getting my money's worth

A few pics of the toys:

My DD is a '14 Cayman S. I don't know that the M2 is going to replace it, I'm still waiting for the specs. M2 and Gt350 are high on the list though.

If I can convince myself to forego the xDrive and have a garage prisoner during winter, I'll pull the trigger on an M2 to replace my M235i xDrive at its lease end:



And here is my "never gonna sell it" car:

Brilliant garage selection. I wish we could get the M135i over here in the US. Or, for that matter, the Renault. I'd be thrilled to have either one.

Well I`m very anxious about the M2..specially how it compares to my current 1M.

Also own a 2014 cayman GTS, well I don`t know for sure for replacing one of these for the M2, well maybe an M2 as 3th car, have to find some parking space I guess..

Here is the Cayman GTS;

Do you Cayman owners find something lacking about the car that has you wanting to add the M2 to the garage or is just an issue of car ADD? I'm choosing between the two for my next car even though they are very different.

No, I just get sick of cars after a few months and get the itch for a new one. I usually start looking right after I pick my new one up.
