Picked this up at the start of the year as a replacement for my M240i.

I was still enjoying the M240i, and didn't have any immediate plans to change. However, I noticed this popped up in The Country Garage, and thought it would be rude not to go and have a nosey as I only live 5 minutes away. After some maths and a few days convincing myself, the deal was done. Country Garage were excellent to work with, went that extra mile, couldn't recommend them enough.

2018 BMW M2 LCI
Alpine White
Black Leather Dakota with Blue Contrasting Stitching
Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
BMW M437 Lightweight Double Spoke Rims
7-speed M DCT
Electric seat adjustment, with memory function
Reversing camera
Front seat heating
Adaptive headlights with high beam assist
Professional Navigation
Harman Kardon Professional

Extras
M Performance Carbon Front Winglets
M Performance Carbon Rear Spoiler
M Performance Carbon Rear Diffuser
Duel Slat Gloss Black Kidney Grills

Previous owner added some cosmetic mods, M Performance style mirror covers from AutoID and a carbon front splitter from a German company called Sterckenn. Still on the fence with the mirror covers, some days I like them, other days I donā€™t. Splitter is staying on for meantime, think it compliments the winglets nicely.

You already know my thoughts! :heart_eyes:

I like the front splitter and mirror caps, i wouldn't change them.

The side skirt winglets would be a nice addition.

Thanks chaps!

Thanks Chris, possibly do the side winglets later in the year.

Wont be buying anything until this current situation is sorted and the GTI is sold :pensive: . Still love the M2 though, especially with a few cosmetic mods like this.

Difficult to tell how the current situation is going to unfold Nick. I went and viewed other examples to compare, but the cosmetic mods, especially the rear diffuser sealed the deal for me šŸ˜Ž

That is a very special looking car, looking at these pictures is making me seriously regret not getting one of these when I had the chance.

Took advantage of the current car market, and moved the M2 on. Had been watching M2 prices over the last couple of months, Bavarian had quite a few on, and soon realised their pricing was quite a bit more when I got the car 18 months ago!

Had a quick chat with Country Garage, approached them in terms of buying the car back. They were very keen, offered me a fantastic deal, so I needed a replacement.

The hunt was on, checking the classifieds every day. This popped up on UsedCarsNI, viewed it and left a deposit later that day.

2013 R56 JCW, 62K, with a few nice factory options and Bavarian service history

We previously had an R55 Clubman Cooper D, loved it and always had a hankering for a JCW.

Thread to follow soon.
