Hello all!
After 8 month wait (deposit was put Could 1, 2023) I lastly took supply of my Brooklyn Grey M2!
Order historical past: after I first put my deposit I had spec’d out a Toronto Crimson Handbook, virtually base construct however as time went on I used to be torn between Alpine and Brooklyn. What pushed me over the sting was Toronto seems too orange in sure lighting and I already had white automobile (extra on that later).
As for handbook or automated. I at the moment have two handbook automobiles and having tried the ZF on many automobiles together with my Supra I used to be fairly proud of the efficiency and its capacity to deal with excessive Torque with out modification if I ever determined to tune.
Previous Automobiles: So why did I choose the M2?
Effectively to provide you some background.. Ive had plenty of automobiles in my previous. Some i’ve owned, others I drove/spent plenty of time in attributable to work (firm automobiles). For the worth, I dont assume there’s a automobile with a greater platform/engine combo than the M2. The Supra is a really shut 2nd, after 3 years of possession I wasnt able to however one other. I purchased mine throughout peak COVID. I imply 10k beneath MSRP and needed to alternative to nonetheless promote it for a small revenue after 3 years of use, so I bought it. If i had limitless area and funds I might have stored it – nice automobile! The M2 for shall we say $6k extra you get the S58, far more superior chassis (brakes, TC, LSD, suspension ) and up to date inside vs the Supra. AND you dont should cope with scumbag Toyota sellers. The one factor I dont love in regards to the M2 is the burden however, hey you cant have all of it!
2006 S2000 (nonetheless personal)
2011 328i (nonetheless personal – gradual observe construct into SpecE9x)
2023 Subaru BRZ (simply bought)
2020 Supra (bought in June for the M2)
2013-2023 VW GTI (Having labored for VW/Audi/Porsche, I’ve mainly had/drive each gen’ GTI for final 10 years)
2015 and 2020 Jetta GLI
2015 & 2018 Audi S4
2014 Audi TTS
2015 & 2017 Audi S3
2018 Panamera
2019 Cayman GTS
2019 Boxster S
2020 Boxster GTS
2020 Panamera GTS
1995 325i (Monitor automobile – bought)
1990-2005 Miata (have had over 20 of those through the years)
My plan had been to make use of the 2023 BRZ as a day by day/ principally inventory observe automobile however as most of you in all probability know, this automobile’s engine had turned out to be very weak and I didnt need to go down the slipper slope of modifying a model new $33k automobile right into a ineffective observe weapon. So I regrettably bought it in early December and purchased a 2011 to slowly construct right into a SpecE9x observe automobile.
So, after 8ish months, and lots of delays on Dec 14th I lastly took supply of my 2024 BMW M2 on the BMW Efficiency Heart.
Whereas the driving half was a bit brief, the expertise contemplating it was “free” was wonderful. Free lodge the night time earlier than, dinner, breakfast, lunch and attending to drive their automobiles, together with their M2 for the autox/brief observe was tremendous enjoyable.
