Quick update:
I have now owned the M2 for 2 years, and done 11,400 miles, still no idea what I’ll replace in with next year (the plan was to keep it for 3) maybe a M2 CS.
The car is running well no issues, bar a blow out
on a M3 slip road, annoying as the tyre had only done around a thousand miles, luckily I had tyre insurance.
And I had the leaky rear lights ( common issue) changed for some LCI lights, and the exhaust tips changed under warranty.

Keep seeing loads of these around recently, and every time I do I swear they're getting wider and wider 
just love the stance of these things, absolutely great cars.

Owned M2 for 3 years now, on 15,700 miles.
All good apart from a leaking driveshaft -fixed under warranty, and the windscreen needs replacing due to a huge crack developing from a tiny stone chip.
Rare sight a M2 with chrome kidney grilles
Stock apart from a Restore44 splitter fitted.

15k! I'll still be doing more than that this year even without working for 10 weeks!

Yeah the 3 years has flown by Craig.
M2 comp with Akra would make a good upgrade. I am still planning on getting one for a 24hr test drive soon.

15k is pretty good going considering I drive 3 other vehicles most of the time. I only use the M2 for evenings weekends Warren.

One of my neighbours chopped his for an x2 m35. He looks unhappy these days.

Small update:
The M2 had it's first MOT in November, it passed with no advisories!
Soon after I put the M2 into storage, the main reason I have moved into a new place and currently don't have enough parking, until I build a double garage and extend the driveway.
The M2 is in good company

Such a nice looking car the M2. They got the styling and proportions just right.

Well after 3.5 years of ownership the M2 has now gone I traded it in for a new M2 competition yesterday. I had an extended test drive in a comp in the summer and was very impressed. It addressed a lot of the OG M2 flaws (mainly the bouncy ride), the only downside is the exhaust note/lack of sound, but the M2 comp/ S55 does sound better at higher rpms.
Collected from storage to be traded in.
It all come about quite quickly tbh, the OG M2 was due a big service in June and would also have needed 4 new tyres, this also coincided with Barons BMW doing me a great deal on a new Alpine white DCT M2 comp with a great spec!
