Hmm let's see.. As M3_WC mentioned above:

S55 (more power, more robust engine, higher redline, closed deck)
Upgraded S55 cooling(air to water top mount, instead of air to air front mount)
New exhaust system
Chassis stiffening (carbon strutbrace, bulkhead brace)
Spring/damper tuning (lowered ride height 5mm)
Ball joint suspension
Electronic steering retuning
Stability control retuning
Upgraded brakes

So these are not improvements towards a more track focused car? Oh wait but it weighs 120lbs more so it's probably shit. BMW is giving us all these upgrades for almost the same price as the outgoing M2 and yet people still expect they should have added CF roof, hood, lighter fender etc. Well, that will come too but not at this price point. I think M2C will be a whole lot more track focused car than N55 M2 but as I said I'm still waiting for the reviews and track tests.
