NEWBIE
Well after lurking for some time and having wanted a h2 for a while I finally dove in head first. I noticed a 2005 stealth gray with 20 thou miles on ebay that didn't meet the reserve. After contacting the owner we agreed on a price. Only problem right now is it's sitting 1,800 miles away in Idaho Falls,ID and the transport company I hired hasn't found a driver for over 2 weeks. This sucks! I have owned a H2 for almost 3 weeks and haven't even seen it in person yet...lol. I have transported a lot of vehicles and never had this problem.
If I ever get it I will post some pics, til then just reading and dreaming. Wish me luck.

Re: NEWBIE
How about flying out and driving it back. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the ride!

I have a cousin in Jackson,WY which is only 70 miles away. He offered to take the ride back with me to visit his mom. Going to have to consider that very soon if something doesnt happen. |

Re: NEWBIE
Best way to get acquainted with your H2 is a nice long road trip. Did it two weeks ago. Fun stuff. Enjoy it.

Re: NEWBIE
A one way ticket is probably good and cheap now. They are a dream to drive on the highway, easily the most comfortable riding vechical I've ever been in.
I just got back from a weekend trip to northern Minnesota and I'm sorta bummed that I made it home so soon.

Re: NEWBIE
I keep hearing what great highway vehicles these are. Amazing to me cause I'd only been a passenger til now and that was off-road. A total impulse buy. My intent was to replace the 5 series bimmer and the 3/4 ton suburban with 1 vehicle. It seemed like a good idea because the upstate NY winters are pretty long and I have way too many summer vehicles already. From the feedback and other posts I've read I made a good choice, just didnt expect the highway ride quality to be very good. With those giant tires and verticle windshield I just told myself not to be disappointed by the noisy harsh ride. Hopefully I will find out for myself someday.

I look forward to that....seemed as though people went out of their way to get in front of the BMW, either that or it's invisable.
A driver has been dispatched so I may see the H2 in a week or so.

Re: NEWBIE
THANKS FRENZY1!
I was notified that the H2 was loaded on a car carrier today. Good times right around the corner. Pictures to come.

Re: NEWBIE
Congratulations, you got a real nice one! After you own one, you'll never want to drive anything else. A lot cheaper to maintain than a 5 series too. My M5 sits in the garage a lot more since I got the H2.

Re: NEWBIE
Counterpoint: There is nothing wrong with stock. Stock is 100x better than turning your H2 into a pavement princess with low profile tires and 24" rims.
