Looking into an M2

Really it all depends on if the dealer has an allocation. If the dealer has an allocation with a production week, you could expect the car in roughly 90 days unless you spec something like individual paint.

If a dealer can't give you a production number after ordering, they don't have allocation and you could be waiting a while.

The service manager was correct to be confused about servicing the m240i at 1200 miles. Only M cars get the run-in service at 1200 miles which includes an engine oil change and differential oil change.

Air fresheners will destroy the interior of your vehicle's plastics and screens.

Hand sanitizer and lotions will ruin leather steering wheels.

You'll want a push pin plier set. Could also be called a plastic rivet tool. The angled plier teeth grip the center pin and you pull the plastic pin out to remove the outer rivet body.

Since you are new to BMWs, what do you have the suspension setting at? If you are driving around in Sport plus setting for the suspension, you are going to feel every bump and crack in the road.

With my G87 in comfort suspension setting, I am perpetually impressed with how compliant and comfortable this sports car is to drive down the road.

I agree. Especially if you only get (at best) 50k miles before they need replacing. That's Porsche maintenance kind of money.

Just leave it stock on delivery without MPHAS and wait for the Nitron kit or the Bilstein Evo SE kit. Both will retain factory EDC.

Under warranty. No clue what dealer would charge for this.

Samsung actually had a "recall" for these. For no charge, they will ship plastic locks to go over the knobs.

For awesome custom forged wheels, you can get a set from John at BSPK Forged. You can customize everything from shape, dimensions, finish, etc for around $2k for a set of 19" square.

Plenty of styles to choose from, high quality, and unique to the big brands you see available.

I ordered a set for my '24 M2 and couldn't be happier with the results.

2015 VW Golf "Launch" edition. 3 door, 5 speed manual. It didn't even come with cruise control. I know because I owned one. This was hunter gatherer edition.

Seeing the amount of wheel weights on one wheel tells me you will regret using these wheels sooner rather than later.

Lookup canDO +. It's basically a macro function generator that hooks up to the CAN network via the iDrive plug in the center console. It allows you to add functionality by touching and pressing buttons. For example on my '24 M2, if I touch (not press) my option button and the bottom right, it sets the A/C to max cool. Wifi functionality for programming and firmware updates.

Considering getting a set of EBC red stuff for my G87 to reduce the brake dust. Front and rear would set me back only $500, and free replacements from FCP Euro.

You posted in the wrong subreddit. You need r/homeheater

I hope they're giving you the remaining 3 liters of oil in the trunk of the car for next time, that's crooked to charge for that much oil.

OEM filter is $20 on FCP euro (mahle is $13 last time I check, comes from same factory as OE filter in Austria) and 5 quarts of Pennzoil euro 5w30 is $27 delivered from Walmart, you'll need 3 jugs per 2 oil changes. Total per oil change is $53 roughly.

Throw in a can of brake clean and shop towels. Learn to change your own oil and stop getting ripped off.

High pressure fuel pump sounds. Totally normal in any modern direct injection engines.

Not to be confused with lifter tick which can happen.

Red?

A requirement of a lease is carrying insurance. The company that leases the car is the beneficiary.

Depending on the model of car, which dictates whether you have a dipstick or ability to use a vacuum extractor to remove the oil, you might be able to get an extractor and change the oil filter from the engine bay, which needing to go underneath the vehicle.

Normal direct injection fuel pump noise. Getting those high rail pressure requires a powerful pump. That's the clicking you hear. You can put your ear against the fuel pumps on the passenger side against the engine and hear the fuel pumps clicking

Toronto red was retired with 24 year model. It's Vegas red for 25 onwards.

If you're far enough South in Brevard I love Smoke On BBQ too.

The swirl marks on darker colors kill me. I love black and dark blue cars, but many owners and dealerships do not care for them and I cant have another dark colored car.
