Sounds like you guys are getting the M2 Pure which is what we had here from the beginning plus the M peformance exhaust and M coilvoers.
Hardly a performance edition...

If it had specific parts not available or interchangeable to other M2 cars I would agree but this is just a parts bin car. This is just a Euro version with the BMW Performance catalog thrown at it. And 10 - 15 years from now the next gen of drivers won't care about any sports cars or collector cars.

If I lost 60lbs, not only would I be richer buying a normal M2 than this joke, but I'd be sexier too...hard pass.

My dealer currently has one en route on a boat and I just may get it.

I'd prob be dead. But to the point, 60lbs is more than all of the carbon fiber bits you can think of. Hood+roof+driveshaft. BMW isn't going structural CF without a huge price tag.

Why would it drive different then a normal M2 that is fitted with MPE suspension and MPE exhaust? They did not change anything else that would make the car drive different and the weight difference will also not be noticeable.

This is not a bad deal if you wanted a white M2 and planned to put on exhaust and coilovers.. otherwise I'd take the regular one at 52k..

Dripping Heavy with Sarcasm:
Wait, so they limit the regular production of the M2..... So, now BMW decides to double down and make a spin off of a "special edition" low (150) units production model, and charge more for less. Its ridiculous that this M2 is not available to the masses to be had. Not jumping through hoops to get my hands on one......I'm walking over to Alfa Romeo with my wallet.

You save $$$ by having the Port install the goodies over the dealer. The only benefit of having the dealer do it is you get the original OEM part back so you can do nothing with it but put in in your garage on a shelf.

I wonder why so much bitchin' an moanin' in this thread. Some complained that there was no spartan M2 offered in North America for the few enthusiasts that are more oriented towards performance than luxury/comfort. BMW NA caters to those ~150 few by offering this variant stripped of some of the luxury/pampering items, adds the coil-over suspension for better handling and the MPE for more aural emotion. Perfect for that small niche market. Those not interested, just get the regular M2 and let those that like what this edition offers enjoy it.

Keyless entry is crap: you still have to carry the fob with you, and all it does it needlessly radiate your dangly bits, or stick in your pocket. Give me a simple key anytime.

Someday I hope that BMW AG includes someone from this forum (from different markets) to have some input in building cars for the future. For some strange reason I always find that there are items that or completely useless or meaningless.

I agree, why make a limited run on a car they can't keep up with demand.
Yes, most of the stuff is superficial and not a great value. Coil over suspension, and exhaust is about all I would care for. Manual seats in theory, but rather just gets some Recaro Sportsters, which would probably save the 60 lbs right there. So buy a stock M2, install coil overs, Recaro Seats and sport muffler and save yourself $5k, plus buy the car in the color of your liking instead. |
