Those wheels are epic.

Indulge me... how much?

[DoubleSix]

I think the amount has already been divulged, but the exact make and model hasn’t....

[AA121]

They are BMW 763M forged wheels in Frozen Gold and are £5500 inc vat and come complete with Pilot Cup Sport 2 tyres.

Exactly what I was planning to do with my black M2C, but I just don't know if I can stomach the price. Been thinking about getting non-OEM gold alloys (found some OZ Racing ones I like the look of), but as much as I can't stand to spend £5500 on some wheels, I don't know if I could stand putting non OEM wheels on my first ever M car!

Try Cotswold BMW, they might do you a deal.

Noticed there are a couple of ads on ebay showing a saving on the £5500....or look out for second hand set in black and get them painted?? You'd still probably have to factor in a set of Pilot Sport Cup tyres too though?!

What size are those wheels then? I assume it's just the pictures but to my eyes they don't seem to fill the arches as well as the standard 19" offerings!

Obviously it's each to their own - and how you chaps spend your hard earned is entirely up to you - but personally I'm not a fan of gold wheels and would pay not to have them never mind forking-out £5.5k for the privilege! Am I alone in thinking the wheels fitted to the original M2 look better?!

I presume they're a shedload lighter than the standard items to justify the price increase.

They're 19"...The World would be a poorer place if we all had the same great taste

Indeed so; as I said in my previous post, each to their own!

Can you elaborate please... some of us are lurking here with fingers on buttons ready to jump into the M2...

More than anything else I cannot stand the drone form the exhaust, I find it really intrusive at motorway speeds and it can be pretty bad at lower speeds too.
It's also laggy with an uninspiring power delivery, and once you get over the impressive mid range pull at higher speeds it really isn't that quick.
I guess I wanted a bit of the magic from the old N/A M engines.

I will say chassis is really good though.

Great little cars imo but the interior is a huge let down, even with all the options ticked. The wife has a M4CP with merino, carbon and still feels cheap. Competition has upped the ante recently in their lower range cars, BMW need to do the same with the 1-4 series.

Sorry to be stupid - is BBK big brake kit?

My order's meant to be arriving early November with the M sport braking system... at least it better be...

Had an email from the dealer this week. Now delayed until December due to supply problems with the M Sport braking system. I could have had it on schedule without the upgraded brakes, but wasn't going to do that. Bit disappointing. Mentally, I shall now expect it sometime next year...

Nope. If the car is going to spend it’s life on track, i can understand them, but for over 5k, i can’t see the point.

But i never did like JPS colour combo.

[Ryjam]

I know of a M2 auto in Hockenheim which is in a showroom if anyone wants one? It looks amazing!!

[Eddieslofart]

Sytner have 2 up for sale at the moment.

Makes you wonder how long it will before some decent deals become available on the M2C? Initial word was little or nothing doing on discounts (much like when the original M2 was launched) but if there are already unsold cars sitting in stock in dealer showrooms you'd think that situation has to change sooner rather than later...

What are people getting on GFV for these?

Trying to get one through work, but the GFV isnt as good after 4yrs as it was on the original M2 - and these cost more!
