Someone should tell her she has something hanging from her nose...

And she is a terrible driver Red lights,wrong side of the road and white line crossing, eyes off the road and nobody told her it was fitted with paddles for a reason............

Good idea George to resurrect  post UK Launch M2 ownership , reviews etc

 

Quite like this guys presentation etc.

 

Reviewer loves the M2 ,with the comment M engineers have spent loads of time developing to get it just right. Then comment on seats.... pedal box...

Beautifully presented...

Nice luggage space.

Nice luggage space.

 

Decent size boot, with Additional useable space can be gained by paying extra in a £45k motor. 40/20/40 folding rear seats.

Through-loading system option £175

Should be STD fit imho.

 

Because of tyre size mix, no space saver spare?

Personally hate repair kits.

Looking around the Met Grey,I so like this subtle look.

So why bother with an M2 when these are coming?

Because regardless of which engine or body kit they have people still go OMG they have fallen down from the Ugly Tree and hit every branch when seen from side on.

Then there is the fact that they might not be a Breadvan even though they look like it, but a bread sales rep might be driving it, 

or some other commercial traveller.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio,

Just yet another choice of fast & expensive Saloons.  I do like the looks of these.

Nice one George, shame the Focus RS wasn't available,that would have made it even more exciting.

Quite a few M140i & M240i on BMW national search - pre-reg.

 

M240i better all round bet than M2? There were 24 M2s, at very inflated prices on Autotrader available to purchase.

Autotrader still have 23 - M2 used available
