I understand the original pic looks like the S55 exhaust, and I apologize if this question is a little off topic and maybe not very intelligent. But could the piping and/or internal components of the exhaust, muffler system make it sound better?

This is heated subject... On this board there are a bunch of "tire kickers"... They say they want to buy the m2.... And yet there number one excuse is "but"... But wait for two years ... But wait for apple care ... Whatever.. As I said earlier things are gonna get more expensive to the " everyman's M car" with options galore, special sucker editions, and jacked up warranty prices... So if you want today in 2016 to drive the ultimate driving machine and not blow 90 grand out the door.. This is the car for you.., in the present....drive it don't tire kick it

I mean who gives a flying fook what's coming, I have the M2 it's everything it should be for me and if something comes along, like things always do, then so be it, you can wait and wait and wait, that special car may never come, and if it does whos to say it will be good..
As an example of how a company can go from amazing to dreadful In one fell swoop, then just take the fantastic mk2 golf gti to the dreadful mk3 gti, how could a company as big as VW take one of the best hot hatches ever and destroy it for years and years Morale of the point; Don't wait for something that may never come or ever be as good. |

FYI, some of us aren't waiting for our M2 out of choice or because something better might be coming along (something better will ALWAYS come along)...there are only so many allocations out there. Myself...lucky #13 on my dealer's list...still 12 guys ahead of me...sigh. /LSB |

Noticed there was a big bump up on the residuals of 2017 M2 leases in November (+4%) which wouldn't support the idea that they'll be making a substantial improvement on the base M2 in 2018.

I really don't get it when people just keep telling it'll destroy the market for an m4. The 330i and 530i have the same engine. So do the 340i and 540i. There is a market for both. Same with the 240i and 440i. People will always have other considerations.
Buyers could also switch from an m2 to an m4 because they are getting more for almost the same money. |

This debate of which engine is going to be in the new M2 is almost as bad as the presidential debates this year.. Tons of name calling and no actual facts

Meanwhile I've been driving my "base N55" M2 since April 8th. You guys have fun waiting for next model or the one after that and arguing online.
Jk I will when a better version comes out. I'll make sure to find a buyer that's not part of all these threads just before the new one comes out.

The M2 is in a phenomenal category and has a real solid chance to make an impression that M had lacked for a long time giving in to the bean counters. But I'll say this...it has one hell of a wall to climb in that price range with some insane cars emerging. Gt350, c7, some may even argue the much cheaper focus RS. The competition has caught up and it's up to BMW M to respond now.

With the M3 LCI already out with only cosmetic changes, I don't see them changing the engine on the M4. I also doubt they will change the engine on the M2 for LCI and it's sad the some people are speculating this from exhaust tips.
Also isn't the s55 a tuned N55 and if the M2's N55 is really a closed deck then doesn't that technically make it a detuned S55?
