After the success of the last "anyone know this car" i thought i would try the same thing.

EJ18FCY

Seems to have very good spec including M performance exhaust, wheels and steering wheel, unclear if it has M suspension, but has 2 owners. 18 month old car with 2 owners for sale not at BMW, am i right to be cautious. spec wise it looks spot on.

Must be in the process of a plate transfer, as EJ18FCY doesn't show on the checks I used on the last car, just the official DVLA site.
Can you ask dealer what that plate was? Private plates tend to yield the most info.

Wouldn't a M2 have M suspension stock?

BMW would only sell it if it ended up back with them, say, as a part ex. so it's not necessarily suspect. But well worth digging into this backstory, the dealership could have picked it up from auction.

Isn't it expensive for a M2, when Comp Prices are falling?

Thanks for looking i suspected its been on a private plate so would be nice to find the history.

Agreed it is slightly expensive probably about 2k over where an 18 reg car should be, AUC cars are around 32-34 but its the M performance catalog parts that make this slightly appealing.

Yes M2 would have M suspension standard but there is an optional adjustable coilover setup available as a dealer fit option. This car is definitely lowered so be nice to know if its on the optional suspension or just springs.
