M2 Options worth getting

[ChrisH370]

What are the options worth taking as the car comes well equipped?
I'm thinking LBB with Adaptive Headlights, Folding Mirrors and Harmon Kardon sound and get some carbon mirror covers from BMW Gloucester for 340.
There's no mention of the Bucket seats on the option list dated April 16.

Apologies if this has been done before but cant find it.

cheaper, and they have the M3/M4 style 'hovering bridge' which the official M Performance covers don't have.

A lot cheaper than the others, thanks.
What about any other options, it comes well equipped but the interior is a bit low rent, IMO ?
No digital speedo either with BMWs!

I've gone for sun protection package, lighting package (adaptives etc), lumbar support, heated seats, H&K, folding mirrors and I think that's about it. Going for the manual so even with the extras it is less than the DCT. Seems like a bargain to me!

[ChrisH370]

Yes, it does seem to be. I will probably go for the adaptive h/lights and H-K sound.
It's the availability that's the killer, are you getting yours next year as that seems to be the case for most folks?
I've been offered a test drive in a M235 as closest to the M2.

I ordered about 7 weeks ago, too late for a 2016 delivery but just before the big hype started so 'estimated delivery' is March 2017.

Problem is, I can't stop reading about the thing and it's driving me mad.

I'm a bit concerned that 2017 cars will come with a price increase and if not registered before April 2017 will hit the new VED bands which will push ownership costs up by 2k but BMW can't tell me anything

I was offered a test drive in an M3 as the closest thing to an M2. The M3 didn't really do it for me TBH but I understand the M2 to be quite different.

Wollaston BMW Northampton have an M2 test car.

What delivery position are you with your dealer? Mine has two with build slots and one unconfirmed ahead of me but says mine could be 2017 or 18, they have no idea?

[giger]

I am number 6. They have 3 allocations for this year which they are delivering over the coming months, and then 3 unallocated orders inc mine (at the time of order) which they are hoping to delivery 1st quarter 2017 - that is pure guess work on their part though but I couldn't find a dealer with fewer orders.

Im going for:

Manual
Sun protection pack
Harmon Kardon
folding mirrors
Heated seats
Reversing Camera
Service Pack

Black kidney grills
Carbon diffuser
Carbon spolier
Black side badges
Alcantara steering wheel
M Adjustable Coilovers

Deposit in early october 2015, Im No.2 and supposed to be arriving september. The long wait is killing me now, I was initially told since I was No.2 it would be here for summer. Hsnt worked like that and just seems luck of the draw where dealers allocations are arriving. My dealers 1st car isnt arriving until June.

In the mean time need to sell my E92 M3 Frozen Silver edition.

With the second part of your list can you tell me where these are sourced as they're not on the options list? e.g. Carbon mirror faces

I believe this is what you're after: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/attachment.php?at...
(none actually improve the car's performance though.. how optimistic of you!)

And I'd be speaking with the chap at Gloucester (sorry, can't remember his name) but he deserves the business. Time and time again he has the foresight to offer BMW and MINI parts on forums in a very simple, friendly manner... and with a very decent discount: http://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83964

No affiliation bladdy bla..

All the dealers have an M options brochure and prices. My dealer sent me it in January.
