Not a single comment on the ride quality which confirms my suspicion that it's not been made and worse.

They're a bit stiffer on bump, and you feel more of the slight imperfections in the road surface, but the car seems to bob about less and sits flatter over crests and feels more suitably damped.

Seem to have passed the boob jiggle meter anyway.

Thought it was a bit boring for that, but I’ll pop one up.

I’d be keen to hear if there’s a tangible difference between the M2 and M2C

Yeah, let us know Roberto

The Comp feels much punchier/torquey than my car which feels more normally aspirated with a zingy top end . It doesn't actually feel quicker though.

The newer car is more composed over typical uk A roads which was a surprise as I'm not sure of the suspension changes other than a clearly bigger strut brace.

Aesthetically the front and rear bumpers are more aggressive along with the accompanying rear diffuser and inside there are wing back seats I assume from the M4 instead of the normal front seats which I believe are in all 2 series and certainly identical to the ones in the M140i.

He got some missed calls yesterday from them, the first 2 were some staff wondering where he is as he’s missed his appointment to pick up his car, then another one later on in the evening was notifying him that as he hadn’t paid the invoice they will have to give his car to someone else and move his order down.

Now then, he’s never been sent an invoice or been told this car has arrived for collection. In fact the online Tesla account still hasn’t been updated with a VIN number which means the car hasn’t been made yet, so somewhere along the process their software screwed up and never updated.

Fast forward to this afternoon where he calls to tell them this, keeps getting forwarded to someone else as they’re very embarrassed about it as it turns out they called another customer who picked the same spec car saying they can collect it but now have to revoke that offer. So that’s 2 separate customers they’ve pissed off in 24 hours.

Anyway unlike a normal dealership they’re only open Monday-Friday but they’ve made a special exception (Yeah right) and will do it on Saturday so I’ll give him a lift down.
At this point I really do wonder if the car is even the same spec as what he ordered since Tesla can’t organise a piss up in a brewery.

Coming from someone who started in the IT industry that's what they call agile, next they'll give you an MVP and keep bringing it back and adding bits to it until it get to the spec you wanted!

He'll be sent home with the wheels, half the seats, a pack of triple A rechargeable batteries and a promise that the rest will be covered in the next sprint.
