Hi All

Currently looking to change my daily and a 2019/20 Bullitt or BMW M2 is on my radar .

I know different approaches to performance, but really interested to hear any reviews from Bullitt owners ?

Many thanks

Just to give this thread a bump and I know way wishing to hijack but I too am interested in a Bullitt and was wondering as well if there are some knowledgeable ones who are able to say was there an OEM alternative wheel available from new as I’ve seen this on autotrader.

The majority all seem to have the black wheel, I’m guessing that the anthracite one is aftermarket..

I own a 2019 Bullitt with 10,000 miles on it. Absolutely trouble free. Blast to drive. Handles like a dream (yes, my Ginetta handles better). Incredible exhaust system and a sound system that is even better. I'm in the USA and the car has averaged 23.1 MPG which I am happy with. I considered the M2 and felt the Bullitt offers much better value for the money you will spend. Used Bullitts are selling for what I purchased when new so it is holding up its value.
I wouldn't change the wheels and yes, green is the only way to go.

Personally, I'm waiting for the last ICE Mustang to be available and I'll give it to my kids ... it's going to be a bit special so I'm told.

Thanks for feedback. Am I correct in thinking the US cars are louder and circa 20bhp up. I believe due to the OPF ?

You are correct.

Well following much thought and search over recent weeks, I have decided to pull the trigger on a Bullitt rather than M2.

I know different approaches, but going from my current electric daily into a NA V8 was too tempting. I want a car that will entertain day to day whilst also have possibility of a track day or two.

I will give my feedback following collection and some drive time.
Thanks for replies to my post.

I had a Bullitt for 6 months, loved it. The colour is worse than black when it comes to looking clean frown

But when it’s clean...



Sold it to buy a Mach 1

Is the Mach1 not the run out model?

HI
Update - Yes I went out and bought a Bullitt.
Got it 2 weeks ago and had opportunity for short track time, just to get familiar with car.

Background for this car was a replacement for my daily, a Tesla Model 3! Final selection prior to purchase was a Bullitt, BMW M2 or a Civic Type R.
Now I'm acutely aware that the latest bright toy / novelty thing is in my mind, but I bleeding love it !
To come away from a Tesla and actually have to drive a car is what I was craving. The engine is silky smooth, sounds great. The gear box is sublime and total joy to use. Its comfortable, roomy, decent tech and not many people know what the car is - perfect !
Im currently flicking from Sport Plus mode on open roads to My Mode, which is set normal suspension, normal steering etc but with Track exhaust mode. 800 miles done in 2 weeks, so will give a further update in a month.
The car is not perfect of course, but 2 weeks in I really enjoying this drivers car, so different to current German / Japanese line-ups.

It’s a bit on the big side, and has a woeful turning circle.
