As I heard from insiders outside the building, the first year production M2s will have limited edition cupholders.
But what about bespoke rearviewmirrors, and the stitching of the seats? How much more will an electric powerseat weigh vs a manual one? Will it have PDC front and rear as standard? And a sunroof? As an option, because I don't want one. Decisions decisions decisions. The overkill of questions makes me mad. *gets a coffee* Cheers Robin |

No, the N54T was used in the Z4 35is before the 1M and still is in production today... cooling system (larger water cooler), exhaust (race cat vs normal cats) and engine cover was changed in the 1M though.

The S55 used the N55 as a a starting point. It has a new block, oil pan, crank shaft, rods, pistons, head, turbos, intercooler, etc... There is not much left in common with the N55 except the bore, stroke and cylinder spacing.

Ultimately, they need to get two things right with this car - the steering and the throttle response. The M235 is a great starting point, but there is definitely room for improvement. I think the M3/4 will give us some idea of what to expect. Hopefully, it will be better with 2 years more experience with the new M-EPS. Lastly, I would hope for some weight savings. The M235 is heavy. I would hope to see a curb weight around 3300 lbs (sub 3000 would be even better, but probably isn't possible), but even 3300 may be a stretch depending on budget and how much they are willing to pull parts from the M3/4. |
