Traded in my 16 M235i for a 17 M2

I just was browsing my local dealers in Houston to test drive a M2 to feel the difference between my M235i. Disappointed on the price, so was going to pass. I then looked at their new inventory and they happened to have a brand new 17 sitting on their lot. Definitely found a noticeable difference in power delivery and brake feel for the better! I can't compare the transmission as I went auto to manual. I can say the manual is absolutely buttery smooth compared to a 13 WRX hatch. I can't believe the car wasn't sold, so I traded in my car and got the M2 for MSRP -2500 Fleet discount.

Here is my old car to my new car:
2016 BSM M235i 8-Spd Auto
Coral Red Leather
Exec Package
Heated Seats
Harmon Kardon

to

2017 M2 BSM 6-Spd
Exec Package
Apple Car Play

Very nice!

Which dealership did you go through? I'm on the list for a June production (LBB, but that black looks amazing!)

Also switching from a 2016 M235, so it's nice to know you like the upgrade

I went through Momentum BMW. They were great and didn't try to charge me for anything extra. You'll love it man. The exhaust sounds great too for being stock. We should meet up man!

Thanks for leaving it for me. Good luck with the wait! You should get the LEDs! Wish I was patient, but this was too good to pass up.

I switched from a white 2015 M235i to a white 2017 M2. Best decision I ever made. Every drive is an amazing experience. It's the best BMW I've ever owned, out of 9 including an E30 M3, E36 M3, M Coupe and others. Definitely the kind of car you look back and smile at as you walk away!

Yeah, the trade in wasn't much. It was great to get fleet discount for sure! With this build, it was exactly 4.54% off MSRP. Pretty good to me for a high in demand model.
