Ordering the LAST OF THE N55s!
So who is gunning to get an end run M2 LCI N55? I'm hoping to take delivery in June. The only thing that would get me to wait for the new car is if the price increase is like $1000. Even then I don't know if I could deal with that weedwhacker sound and goofy front end that it will likely have.
Mineral Grey DCT Exec Carbon spoiler Black grills and gills Hopefully prices drop a bit as the model goes out. |

Picking mine up March 26 euro delivery. When it arrives back here in Ohio, Dinan P2 package, a few suspension bits, and front wrap install to start. Just a month now until skip over the pond to pick her up. Had thought about waiting for CS, or what ever it might be, but decided N55 with Dinan improvements will be wicked, and I can drive it soon.

There will be one more quarter of N55 builds - second quarter allocations should be released next month.

I'm working with a dealer right now to get their next allocation, supposedly first week of March. Do you think this will still be an N55 car? Or does anyone have a timeline of end of production for the N55 M2?

Took mine in for the run in service, I was given a m3 comp, nice car sound was ok no grunt or pops and bangs. I think people holding back for the s55 engine will regret it.

I currently have a M235i ready to turn in from lease. Love the motor. I'm debating taking a M2 I ordered that is in stock now. So no one is waiting or loving that the new S55 will have 40 more HP? I've never driven a S55 car so I have no idea. Loss of character and sound??? Future resale???

He S55 sure does not sound as good as the N55 but there are other things it does better than the N55.
The N55 equipped M2 is a great car but I am sure there will be people who would appreciate some of the other things that the S55 brings to the table which the N55 simply cannot, even at the expense of some aural pleasure. Factoring in the additional interior choices, brakes, wheels etc., the M2 competition might be a very good car and maybe even an improvement on the current M2 overall. Even the exhaust might be improved in the Competition. We won’t know till we actually hear it. |

There are people who are disappointed with tuning options on N55 due to need of expensive turbo and intercooler upgrades to get reasonable power and the S55 is built for quick ECU tuned power. But for those of us who don't care to tune or heavily mod and want a fast, nimble, and sensory pleasing sports coupe, the current M2 fits the bill. The M2 Comp may also have too much power for the chassis although most of that issue is in the lack of rubber to the road. |
