So the order with Coopers Colchester was placed 7 months and was going nowhere, I had a tip off that Vines in Redhill had been given an extra allocation, so a quick phone call to them confirmed matters.........Coopers now cancelled and deposit refunded. Vines have so far been brilliant. So much so that after less than 2 weeks I've just received my VIN number and a allocation for week 52 2016.
They did have a waiting list but nobody on it was in a position to be able to proceed with the order as quickly as they needed or as quickly as I could.
4 weeks and it should be on my drive

It was a cancelled order, so I didn't get to choose the spec. It has a few things I wouldn't have bothered with and one it doesn't have that I would have (memory seats), but it's a nice spec overall. I really like the sunroof because it lightens the cabin up, so would recommend it, even though I wouldn't have ordered it myself. Heated wheel is great too!

Very nice
LBB looks different in every picture I've seen. Luckily I've seen a couple in the metal.
I'm adding M Performance Carbon rear diffuser, rear spoiler, side gills and kidney grills. Just waiting on Vines to get a price I'm happy with

Love these cars... I am gently jealous.
I am biding my time until they release a BMW M12.
(Because I have the perfect plate for one!)

I did attempt to find the perfect M2 plate but It's already been issued, as have all the decent M2 prefix plates

I have a chipped 220i and I'd love an M2, but they start at 72k sterling where I live :-(

ID never pay £72k for an m2. You could get so much more for your money. £50k fair enough, but still a lot.

Top man Banny
Mines now due for week 52 so last in December but the carbon M Sport parts won't be fitted until 1-2 week of January. So I'll keep you updates after then

Mr clarkson had very good opinion of this compared to the m4. So I can see this being a cracker.

Yeah he loved it. But he also said that it was not that much faster than a type r.

Well it is a smaller engine to the m4, but he said it just works better and the handling is better also.

I can imagine it handles a lot better than an m4 because it's a smaller car. But for £52k I'd expect it too be a lot faster than a type r even if you don't use the power.

Catback and a remap should see some nice gains
