Exactly correct. The M2 Competition with the S55 engine will be quicker than the N55. Also we should remember that although the factory S55 in the M2 will be "de-tuned" it can easily be tuned to increase boost, torque, and horsepower.

I'll pass on either one of those colors.

Especially with the latest OBD flash tuning capabilities it will be pretty easy to bump the HP and torque assuming BMW hasn't changed anything limiting this.

I think I'll pass on HS as well. Always liked black cars but never had courage to have one so might order BSM this time.

I feel the same as you. An M2 sports car, in my personal opinion, should have a "stealthy" appearance. My M4 in Mineral Grey Metallic is really fine looking. I was hoping to order my M2 in that same color. I have only had one black car in the past but based on the low offerings in the M2 Competition colors I am now leaning toward the black. With the addition of carbon fiber, black grills, black wheels, lowered and with wheel spacers I believe it would be really great looking.

I added Dinan Stage 3 to my M4; plus all the other Dinan goodies and it bumped my horsepower to roughly 568 hp (extrapolated from 481 hp on the dyno). I see no reason why the S55 engine in the M2 could not be re-tuned, and that will certainly be my plan.

I already miss my LBB, so I will get another LBB

See I think it has a lot of potential - the lighter colors are certainly easier to take care of, and this one looks like it could be really pretty. Can’t wait to see it.

Yes I agree that a black car would need more care when washing and waxing to avoid those nasty scratches and swirl marks. Variety makes the world go around and I suppose that's why the various colors for one to choose from.

That's why I'm planning to get the whole car wrapped in Xpel Stealth

I'm very curious to find out how soon after the April 25th unveiling allocations will be released to the dealers and when the ordering process will begin? I'm number 5 on my dealer's wait list ($1k deposit). I'm hoping that he receives a couple of allocations per month which might put me into Sept. for ordering?

The first 718 Boxster Spyder video dropped and the exhaust seems to sound like a 4 cylinder turbo. If the GT4 also gets the same engine like last time, that car will not be very interesting. Well, at least to me.

I really hope BMW does something very special with the M2 Competition or confirms something else coming up in the near future.

I'm so happy I changed my MY17 order into a manual Mineral Grey instead of a DCT Black Sapphire. I love the color and it's so stealthy and less obvious then black. On a M2 Comp (with no MG) it would be black also for me (if I would order one => but not going to do that).

Still happy with this one

For sure it will be faster, but can we expect it to stay under 4 second for the 0-100 km/h? What about M driver's package....? Will be the limiter moved from the actual 280 to 300 as it is in the new m5? At least for the EU version i mean.

Very nice looking car. Now if only you could lower it an inch, add wheel spacers, and a few carbon fiber items....

There could be one more M2 version before its production ends.

In addition, there could also be another U.S. specific one.

This is all I know right now, so please don't expect any clarifications.

There indeed " should " be at least one more version. We will see next year if bmw has the gumption..

Some of us like to ride the train til the end of the line ... in the automotive world , that's most often where the pot of gold is.
