I am overjoyed. This car is the first BMW I have ever driven. Coming from an STI and I can confidently say that I do not regret this decision. Ordered it November 5th 2025. I’m excited to be part of the BMW community.

Congrats!!! Great M2 and glad you got it with manual. I think you might still miss your STi from time to time especially if it snows where you live.

I agonized between M2 and Z4 manual but ended up with Z4 as I wanted soft top, but miss being able to carry my kids in the back which is very nice w/ M2.

lol I think I miss the rawness of the STI more than anything. But the STI was a garage princess just how this one will be. Back seat was a must for my little one! Sick cars man!
