I love my LCI 6 speed to bits. I'll wait till the CS appears I 2019 (if it isn't horribly priced in Aus). In the meantime I'll go Pure Stage 2 and enjoy the sound of my slower car.

I’m going to stick to me pre lci. Took it out over the weekend and enjoyed every minute, didn’t feel like I needed more power. I also love the sound of the N55. Will keep mine for 2 years more at least, changing now would mean a serious dent in the wallet as well!

I’m sure the m2c will be a better performance car and overall package with the changes made, but in the real world where 90% of people don’t track there car and generally find a nice open B road to test the limits of there ability Not the car!!

Putting me in a m2c will not make me Lewis Hamilton so I’m better off honing my skills in its older brother appreciating the performance I have at my disposal

Also the numbers financially don’t stack up for me, but who knows in a couple of years time I’m sure there will be some good deals to had

My M2 was over 90,000 euro new and I paid 66k for it at 9 months and 5,000 miles so the dealer lost a big chunk. After a year of me owning the car I guess its worth 50k so I will have lost between 12 and 18k so at 2 years old the car has lost a huge amount.

That and the road tax here on the new car is 1,200 a year, mine is 750..... so it is a financial no brainier! Stick with my much loved pre LCI (marketing bollocks) N55 M2

P.S. who seriously will notice 40 extra horsies on any of the roads in the UK and Ireland?
