Rattle free driving would be a good place to start...

The point is, a faster vehicle is really not really necessary, no point in bragging about your 0 - 60 times, when the limit is 50 I know the weight is not going to decrease in any kind of meaningful way but I would like to see some creature like Adaptive Suspension, toggle-able exhaust volume, night vision and red leather offered.. I'm sticking with the BMW brand because they're the only vehicle left, in my pay grade, to offer a manual transmission option but I know this might possible be last run.. #Sad https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...for-this-world |

As safety, security, and traffic congestion become higher priorities I easily see "independent driving" becoming regulated. A novelty, if you will, nor permitted within city limits. Non autonomous vehicles will not be allowed on the roads because they will not communicate with the cars and world around them. Maybe not in my lifetime, but I expect to taste a flavor of this before Im in the ground.

If they are launching a "regular" M2 and not a Competition model, I wouldn't be surprised if they left some horsepower on the table pending release of a Comp model. Let's not forget that the current M2 is a "Competition" version. The new M2 may have slightly less or about the same horsepower as the current Comp.

All cops are not liers, but they are people with faults like everyone. I haven't been unjustly treated by law enforcement for a long time. However as a 18-21 year old in a small town, I can tell you that I was harrased unjustly and that shouldn't happen.

I know that, but the reason for it is that the N55 wouldn't make enough horsepower with the OPF choker in the exhaust of EU cars. So they just got rid of the M2 N55 all together. AFAIK, BMW has sold regular M cars next to Comp models in the past. I doubt that they will start with a Comp model with the new M2.

Let's wait and see whether BMW does the same with the G87 M2/M2C in December 2022.

Picture your vehicle outfitted with the best laser/radar detectors money can buy, you pass a cop, sitting on side of the road and you looked dead at him and he stared strait at you, with is snout clearly reflecting off the moonlight, he then testifies in traffic court that he verified you speed radar when we both know he's full of shit but his lie is bond and because how the power dynamic is weighed on towards the enforcer, you never stand a chance.. Over here, if Jesus Christ himself, with the holy cross sticking out his back window, is accused of speeding, in the kangaroo courts, they would believe the highway patrol, over our lord and savior, it's that skewed.. I'm not anti-cop, I understand and respect their purpose in society. Humans are like two steps away from feral animals, without law enforcement, everyday would be like the movie The Purge. The fear of prison is what subconsciously keeps everyone in check. I am also aware that a very long time ago, before radar and laser guns was available, cops used "visual estimation" for determining speed enforcement. I'm not a sour loser; just level the playing field and I'll take my lumps. My issue is when they strait up falsify their testimony/evidence to strengthen their accusation, such a phantom radar/laser reading, not giving you a change, innocent or otherwise. |

I'm not arm chairing anything! I'm a retired cop who did it right! I know how it is supposed to be done! Sucks if you ran into a dishonest cop with a quota. But don't lump us all into that category!

On the outskirts of the city, the speed enforcers do use radar/lidar to measure velocity and are typically fair with their testimony, in my experience. Sorry to veer off topic and I could share many anecdotal instances to support my claim but my mere point was that it's almost pointless to have a fast car, since if your vehicle appears like it's moving quickly, which most BMW do, when you unleash them, you possible expose yourself to an unjust summons, so like, what's the point. |

When questioned about lack of evidence the the prosecutor said the word of a police officer is solid gold evidence and can be taken as the truth. We threw out every single one of those cases. |

Besides, would you rather live in fear that doing something will put your in jail? Be governed by fear, threats, and the use of force. Or would you rather live being guided that your actions will do good for society and the people around you? Good religions have always outlived big governments anyway by orders of magnitude. Because the governments don't act morally, ethically, or compassionately. Instead creating 10,000 laws to take the place of 1 moral. Which no one is ever gonna memorize every single law, but making a vow to act morally and ethically, you don't have to memorize any of them. Governments acting in their own self interests are breeding grounds to being overthrown. While someone acting in the best interest of others will never be overthrown... because they have all the people they've helped standing behind them.
