The imaginary "your experiences with the M2" thread

As we're getting bored about the lack of info about the M2, here's the imaginary "your experiences with the M2" thread.

Took the M2 out today after a good wash. Smoked a 1M at the traffic lights (close call though - I guess it would be easier to get the upper hand with a DCT). Must feature ± 385hp as real life figure. But he gave me thumbs up afterwards.

I still need to get used to Mineral Gray. Angles are a bit darker than expected (fangs and rear vents are more 'hidden'), but it looks more mean in the dark. Still not sure whether I should have gotten that cocktail blue (LBB).

First world problem: the car is still new, but got already some stone chips on the rear wheel fenders. Didn't realize that those were more prone to stone chips. Maybe they should put some sort of protective film on it, alike on the old gen Porsche 911 cars.

Interior: getting used to the seats. And the sliding cover of the cupholders is actually more practical than I thought.

Sound: considering to get the Akrapovič axle back for some more mean grunt and burbling.

Oh, and at the gas station someone greeted me again with my "new M4", of course.

What are your experiences so far ?

If you don't mind, can you disclose how much markup your dealer claimed for this rare bird ?

So a Hyundai Genesis pulled up to me on the highway. He rolled down his window and yelled 'You're in the Genny Zone, bitch!'. He pulled away as I kept driving normally, laughing my ass off. He then proceeded to post on his Genny forum about this M2 he raced on the highway and beat.

So as I was pulling out of the dealer with my shinny new M2 There was a stunning women on the corner that looked like she needed a ride, I roll down my window and see that its Olivia Wilde...Without batting an eye she jumps in and says "show me how its done" at that moment an AMG merc pulls up and a RS5 pulls up, we do the nod and we smoke them. Olivia Wilde looks at me, smiles and says Marry Me....

We live happily ever after

I PGed it since this is a family friendly forum

Sorry to hear about your loss. Well, in the end it's just sheet metal. What matters is that you walked away from it unharmed. Shows how safe the M2 is.
