That’s awesome lol

Also in normal street driving the N55 is way better with the boost coming on a full 1000rpms sooner. Obviously at the top end the S55 rocks but unless you’re tracking the car then how often is that? I have both engines so nobody can accuse me of bias.

LOL. Such a BS biased pile of crap.
The S55 fit the M2C like a glove and was the best BMW I owned to date

The point of this thread is not that the OG M2 is better than the M2C. Both are great M cars and that is the point.

Correct, but only one of them sounds good

Why is it biased. I own both engines. It’s just my opinion. The M3 and M2C weigh the same.

Agreed, I own both (2018, 2020) and love the sound of the OG.

However, I find myself always driving the Comp and it puts a wider smile on my face.

I can't understand it...

the best thing about my OG is that its title is sitting in my safe-along w my honda fit's title
no liens for the last year is just something I am having a hard time coping with as I see new 918s running around...but no I cant part w it

I owned F80 and F80 Comp and F87 Comp...all 3 with the 6MT, all 3 with S55
I would take the M2C over the F80s any day.

In fact, if I had the option now, I would have taken the M2C over the G80 (but I needed 4 doors).

Weight is "irrelevant" in this case, the G80 is (>200lbs) heavier than the F80C, has the same TQ, feels lighter and is faster...

Did I say in this thread that:
1) OG is better than the M2C or the other way around?
2) that OG is not an M car?

The conversation was getting off track by comparing the performance of the two cars. I am trying to get it back on track by saying both are great M cars. Anyone who owns either one should be happy with their choice.

[murderspice]

Its the realest M car.

I've never heard an elephant fart, but I'll take your word for it. When I wind mine out it sounds like a chain saw.
