Was into JP cars back in the day, Impreza and Evos etc before family commitments put pay to that.

Agreed. The bottom picture looks like the type of car that always wants to race me.
That is what mine looks like but mines white lol

It seems to me that, at least around here, every single M140i/"M-Lite"/M-Performance-tatted owner carries a chip on their shoulder. The more barried the car, the bigger the chip and the more desperate they are to prove something the moment they see the M2. It is so predictable it is getting boring although I did laugh a couple of weeks ago when some ***** in a tastelessly modified example lost control in a straight line through a set of lights and very, very narrowly avoided a nasty collision with the armco. I was completely stationary and as the lights changed they came past me at what was likely 50+mph in a 30 and from the noise, at WOT...

I'm well past the days of racing and hanging around in Mc Donalds carpark at midnight, I do like a bit of tinkering though.

Well, I class fitted at dealership prior to customer collection and factory as the same thing.
Sorry about that

To be fair if they are on the configurator as factory options its just that the dealer fits during PDI then thats game to call factory option. Much like the ladders on a Defender for example.
They were not.
They were accessories sold separately after you'd bought the car.
I don't think anything you had to pay a separate labour charge for installing can be counted as a factory option

Yep fair call there then. Dealer accessories.
you exclusively cancelled PCP deals on new cars, or 2nd hand cars on garage finance too.
so how much are you investing on the parts .. presumably not the £1K stuff, , but equally a front splitter <£100 may be made of cream cheese, if you do scrape a policeman.
Lol, prices have gone up across the board. £250 excess for comprehensive is now £845
As long as their genuine BMW and not ebay tat. That's all that matters imo.Well there is a thousand miles and several countries between them
Both were used cars bought on "hire purchase" and I cancelled and paid off the whole lump sum
Warranty is notably more expensive as a new customer compared to renewing right?
Quotes against random cars pulled from non-BMW dealers/traders (presumably cheaper because BMW warranty expired):
2018 BMW M2 LCI
Comp, £250xs £1546/y
Comp, £100xs £1962/y
Named, £250xs £1286/y
Named, £100xs £1618/y
Drive, £250xs £984/y
Drive, £100xs £1223/y
2018 BMW M2C
Comp, £250xs £2121/y
Comp, £100xs £1702/y
Named, £250xs £1442/y
Named, £100xs £1778/y
Drive, £250xs £1140/y
Drive, £100xs £1381/y
For reference, my M135i is £330 per year for fully comp with £250 excess.
The quotes you posted above, are they renewals? If so, for which model?
Surely this is just another reason to buy direct from BMW? 12 month warranty which you can then renew for a decent saving?

I'm considering buying an M2 privately and may take out the BMW warranty. The car is not modified and has a full BMW history.
I am looking at purchasing either the "driveline" or "named component" warranty - anyone have experience of claiming with either of these? The quote on the website with £250 excess was only £1140/£1442 which I don't think is too bad given what it covers.
I'm just concerned in case I end up with a major fault and have to pay out of my own pocket. The car was previously sold approved used, twice, which gives a small amount of security but you never know.

- For the Driveline option it appears to cover; engine, timing belts, turbo, gearbox, final drive, casings, sundries and misc, as per: Policy handbook
- For the named component option you get the above, with addition of cover for clutch, steering, braking system, fuel / cooling systems and electrics.
