A girl at my work is the partner of a guy that is supposed to be pretty well recommended for BMW tuning called Jason - http://www.bwchiptune.co.uk/
I have never used him so can't vouch personally.

Excellent choice mate. I've driven a few of these new M2s now and I know you will love it 
Oh and good colour choice btw

That's a decent 11/12 plate later model GTR money.

It looks the same with the new turbo M3/4 too. Saw a video of a chap pulling away from standstill and trashing the car after it came on song in what looked like 2nd gear!
The M2 vid I've seen he goes to open it up and it just seems to want to go sideways, duck fat!!
I don't understand why BMW don't come out with an x drive 1 series hatch, 1MX or something. Same engine as the M2 but in 4wd hatch. Or even an M135i X drive.
Have fun!

I'll book myself in for a driver training day when I first get it to better understand It's handling.
I can't wait

The M2 looks amazing and is on my radar to replace the Infniti G37s coupe that I have in Abu Dhabi.
The Infiniti is 330hp for this market and that power through the rear wheels can get interesting at times! We hardly get rain - so don't have many sideways wet moments but you can still get caught out by thin layers of sand on the roads, following sand storms (a bit like driving on diesel/water mix).
Whilst a 4wd M2 would be interesting - it really goes against the ethos of this type of M car.
Cheers
Steve

I also have one of these on order, expected delivery first week of September. After ten years of evos and Imprezas (3 spec c) I fancied a change. I had my deposit down since May 15.
I managed to get a test drive yesterday in a DCT car with the full performance kit and exhaust. I was really impressed and may change from manual to DCT. The car was at Fairfield BMW Southend if you wanted to try one out

That's an impressive delivery schedule. What dealer is that from?

Lovely
Superb-looking car mate. I have a humble 220i now after after a few years with a 335i E91 Touring with 300 horses from its N55 in-line 6. Through the twisties the 220i has superb balance and is properly planted because of its wider track front and rear and would be much much faster than the 335i because of it. I can imagine a tweaked 2 series chassis would be a riot with the superb sound and power of the N55 pushing it
. Enjoy!
. Enjoy!

Awesome cars... I want one too!
The plate off my E39 M5 would look quite good on there too... shame I cant bloody afford one!
There is always the lottery on Friday I guess!

Its probably accurate.
I think the facial deformity is caused by the constant grim we have on our faces while driving our BMW's.
