----For those of us that aren't up on nomenclature, what is an F87 M2? Guessing Beemer?....Bill S

Yes sir.

I know it's not everyone's cup, but its a 400 hp RWD car with a manual trans and passive suspension, versus the rolling iPhones that most performance cars are anymore.

You know I love old Corvettes, so hopefully this is all forgivable.

What year is the year to get in the M2? I need a lil ripper for summer

19-21 is the same car. 2021 is end of production. Like most things, used with low miles are trading more than new in the current market.

The best BMW to get is the one with the longest warranty. I currently have a 2017 340i with the M Sport package and it’s ridiculously fast—faster than either of my C6 Corvettes were stock. Have high hopes the M2 will be even better.

----Very cool Tutonic ride. Absolutely no offence intended. I have four German sourced cars and love them all. Just have lost track of all the numbers. I have a hard time with my own phone number as I don't often call myself!,,,,,LOL!!!......Bill S

No offense taken!! I don’t think I ever told you I did track down the owners of the Jack Douglass 435 back to the early 1970s. I owned that car about 8 years before I got the 340 split and a few other 67s along the way. I’ll be back with more 63 and 67 Corvettes eventually, just on a German vacation for now I guess.

I'm thinking they paid something like 80K for it.

Update:
The floors have been cut out to mount on a Morrison chassis with 1,400 HP. Body side panels etc are gone to make it a "wide body". So much for needing an unhit body. Build will run past seven figures. The paint is some bazaar Lamborgini color to match the client's Lambo.

The client?? Anybody heard of Goya Foods?

^ gah.

Reminds me of reading about a real LS6 Chevelle a guy cut up for a Pro Street build in the late 80s.

One of the good guys.

I have several Goya products in the pantry.

I couldn't care less what some does with their personal property.

He could corner the market on '69 T/A convertibles and prostreet them for all I care.
