Drag Coefficient

Is this information correct?

Drag Coefficient of the M2 is: 0.35
Drag Coefficient of the M2C is: 0.36

Did the new M-mirrors added to the drag coefficient after all?

The drag coefficient of the M235 is .33. I don't think it will be a deal breaker.

Possible due to the larger kidney grille to funnel more air in?

This was joke about the mirrors. The reason BMW gave for not using M Mirrors on the M2 was aerodynamics.

Apparently.. BMW has indicated the drag coefficient of the M2 Comp to 0.35... that or it wasn't updated in the web page correctly.
