I got first refusal on a cancellation on Monday, it’s in Germany ready to be shipped. So didn’t have a choice on the spec. Over the moon with the opportunity of owning a brand new M2 CS. Hopefully arriving in 7 days.

Paying list or managed to secure a discount? What colour?

Had to pay list price. It sounded like they were going down a list of names who have previously put a deposit down. Maybe I was first or last who knows. I originally wanted misano blue, manual but the one available was hockenhiem silver, auto every option other than ceramics. Does look good with the gold wheel

Definitely available at a discount.

When I declined my build slot I was offered it by the dealer at a pretty nice discount. I still declined.

As far as I know there are zero discounts on the CS for the 104 UK cars. Dealers might say discount available but BMW UK won’t let them process a discount on the car - they are all being tracked and audited at HQ.
Cars are assigned to people not dealers, and must be registered to the individual who placed the order. Should anyone pull out the car goes back to BMW UK and gets re-allocated to the “registered interest” list.

That is mostly correct, as the car I declined went back to BMW to be reallocated.

My dealer could not sell it to anyone else. Hence the offered discount to me to take it.

I had Cup2s on my M2 comp (but with more BHP than the CS) and they was fine, just avoid standing water.

I took my Cup2s off and replaced them with PS4S as it’s a daily. Will switch them back on towards the summer.

I have to say I love the car. It’s in a great sweet spot. Lovely suspension, a constant light growl, a bit of reverb as you hold your hand on the manual stick, fantastic grip, chunky power band, and just easy to live with. Lovely details such as the bubble roof, seat trims, and bonnet nostrils. I can’t fault it for what it is. Definitely take the long way home!

Congratulations! Looks stunning - looking forward to seeing one of the road at some point. Have you driven an M2 of any kind to compare it to?

Anyone know of any allocation left? I noticed that a few people declined to take up their allocation. My local dealers all told me I didn't stand a chance.

Can i ask is the centre console padded to give the feeling of an armrest or is it just material wrapped over the plastic?

As far as I know if a car get declined they call the next guy on the list who previously put a deposit down.
I put a deposit down November last year, they refunded my deposit in February saying all car where taken, then 2 weeks ago I received a call offering me a car which someone didn’t want. I asked if I could get a different spec but only the one car available at that time.

Awesome colour combination, especially with the gold wheels. Enjoy!
