The only BMWs that actually appreciates in value is a 1M and the Z8, which is only because of limited supply VS demand. The M2 will depreciate just like any other M vehicle but not as exaggerated as people are making it out to be. Buy and enjoy it, don't be overly concerned about the bottom line. By the time you feel like you got your money's worth and is ready to replace it, you wouldn't even think twice about it as an investment. |

It is a personal choice. Some people MUST have the latest thing... and I am not sure they ever appreciate what they have when they have it. I am appreciating the heck out of my MY2017!
We have not seen driving reviews let alone head-to-heads yet... only spec sheet comparisons, which are pretty much meaningless. Not sure why some people on here are so in love with spec sheets... they should be on a 'Vette board somewhere. An M Car forum should be about the driving experience. We know the M2C has a great platform to start from, but where did it take that starting point? And did it take it far enough to make the price hike (or in your case the total financial hit) worth it? Wait a bit and see. |

FWIW, the day I was at Welt the 2019 M2 Competition was on the floor and I had the opportunity to get up close and personal and also talk with some of the folks there about it. I, for one, think it is a very sharp car and would not say no to one. Still, after spending time behind the wheel of my 2018 M2 LCI, I can also say that I am more than satisfied (read delighted) with it and have no regrets. I am not the first to say this but there will always be something newer, faster, whatever. This does not diminish the previous M2 models any more than the E46 diminished the E36. Both are fine automobiles. Anyone that is disappointed that they have a previous model is destined to be that way with any car from any manufacturer unless the have the cash to keep up. My $0.02 FWIW |

Personally I would pick up a used M4 or M3 for less than what the comp will cost. Yes its bigger but they weigh the same but has more power. The M2 comp is cool with all its CF bits but I doubt I would buy it over the current M2.

I go to Germany almost every year for a few weeks anyway, so why not get an awesome car on one of these trips? But yeah, I almost bought an M2 about a month ago. It just wasn't good timing for me, as I hadn't really planned ahead, but if I could have made the work, I'd have happily bought an M2 even knowing the Comp was coming out. Great car.

I like this thinking too. We just got back from an ED trip where we took delivery of a LBB M2 LCI and we had a fantastic time. I think anyone who has the opportunity to do an ED should absolutely do so, but really you can still do almost all of the same things at the Welt even if you're not taking delivery of your own car. Other than the customer lounge on the 3rd floor and the actual car delivery level (correct me if I'm wrong on this), it's all open to everyone. All the restaurants, shops, exhibits, the museum, plant tour, you can go do all of that and spend a day or two at the Welt and get 95% of the experience. And unlike driving your own car, you won't have to worry about minding the tach with a rental - it'll likely be broken in so you can have more fun than you would with your own car, at least for the first 1200 miles. Incidentally, at one of our many travel stops we parked next to a guy who was also on vacation, and he'd rented a black sapphire M3 for the trip, so he was having as much fun as we were except without the break-in limitations. Again, I wouldn't talk anyone out of an ED, but it's not as if you have to be taking delivery of a car to enjoy all the trappings of the Welt Center.

Simple. How important is the S55 to you?
Very- uograde Not really - save some money but don’t spend them on power mods otherwise you might as well upgrade You should (if not already) go and test drive an M3/M4 and see if you crave for that power rush from the S55. Better yet wait for the Comp to become available and then test drive it. |

I don't see any reason a current M2 owner should drop their current car for the M2 Comp, this isn't a statement on the M2 Comp but if you love your current M2 and you have already paid the sales tax, taken the depreciation hit etc than it would be silly in my mind to drop the current M2 for a car that while it's different and probably improved is probably 10% better maybe a little more. Few can fully use the full capability of the current car, even on a track so you would mostly be buying capability you cannot use. I suspect the seats will be an aesthetic upgrade more so than ergonomic upgrade. I am keeping my current M2 its a great car, my next car will be something different like a Cayman GTS or 911, doesn't make sense to me to get essentially the same car again. The Comp is an evolution of the M2 not revolution, new engine yes but the vast majority of the car is the same.

On my side, I just use GPS to see next turns (mountain) ... and that's pretty much it. I am never listening music (only engine). I find all fancy entertainment or connectivity features/options useless if they don't help driving. What BMW should consider, is to offer a super basic/light version (M2 light:-) where focus would be just weight reduction and drive enjoyment, a bit like Porsche is doing. |

Not sure it’s worth the upgrade. I doubt you drive the n55 that hard to use all the HP optimally. So S55 i doubt will be enough to change the car.
The looks on the outside is good and bad. But you can always mod your my18 m2. I was reading it’s heaavier and possibly front heavy... if that’s the case, it may not be a better track car. Personally I would enjoy the car you own and change the car later on to a different car |

I'll skip the M2 Competition and will save up for the 2020 M4 with the S58.
I think that thing will be off the charts and will carry the same spirit as the new F90, which blasts its competition on all levels. With that being said, BMW M restored my faith I have for them with the latest F90.
