First amg

Hi,

After a run of 4 BMW M cars decided to visit the dark side.

I finally got some time to spend a few hours on the paint etc. Getting there slowly.


So far so good 😍

Very nice and congratulations. Love the pics. It has a menacing Darth Vader-ish vibe to it. Now that you mention the dark side.

Congratulations! I love the GT in blue. There’s no BMW I would own over an AMG GT. Great choice.

I dropped of a M2 and drove this home in the pouring rain. It was certainly an experience. 😂

I had ordered an M2C but couldn’t stand the crooked driving seat, so I cancelled the order. So much for “the ultimate driving machine”! They skewed the front seats to save money and get through side impact regulations without having to redesign the car.

Yes, google “BMW M2 crooked seat”. Not sure if it’s the entire 2 series or just the M2. Your legs are not parallel with the steering column, they point outwards.

Does that really matter though? A lot of MB models have an off center steering wheel. So what?

I couldn’t care less if the car feels good to drive.

The M2 was best of the M cars I've owned, Inc E46, e92 v8 and M4. I'm 6'4 so nothing really fitted properly😬
