That looks absolutely superb Martin.
I really like the look of that.
I bet it goes and sounds as good as it looks too :afro:

Well collection date has been agreed for two weeks on the M2 so can't wait

Treating the wife to First Class on the train to Bournemouth thanks to sensible deals online, i've told her to get through £20s worth of fodder to justify the cost.

Thanks mate.

Yes it's got a superb engine. I'm just running it in at the moment but I've had a couple of blasts up to 5k on the revs and it feels draw droppingly fast and sounds good to. No fake sound like the M135i as far as I can hear.

Nice to see a 4GC in white, I think white and silver show them off so well, my neighbour two down has one and just look lovely and so much sharper than my next door neighbour who has just had his 5 series.

Funnily enough I just said i had a little 2 series on order when i said i was selling one of the Rs

I saw my very first M2 on the road on Friday evening just outside of Hamilton . It looked absolutely amazing, so aggressive from behind. I'm guessing it was LBB as that's the only blue that I'm aware of but it was a strange kind of turquoise type colour to my eyes. Still though  :evil: :evil:

I originally ordered LBB but had doubts when I went to Geneva and then went to see one on the UK launch weekend, I changed to Mineral Grey as I it is too turquoise for my liking wanted carbon bits and for me does not suit.

Ironically last week I had a call as it appears my dealer has ordered me the original LBB in poverty spec by mistake and had to give me first option on that too but I declined as too much hassle trying to shift it quickly

So other than an admin fee the M2 is the same price to insure as my R

Always love the insurance lottery and did not see that coming

Been confirmed as next week for me, and going to be really interesting to see how the reality matches up to what perceived to make me select the R. 

Be interesting to see your thoughts in similar vein.
