Now let’s objectively look at the parts that are different and see how much weight they reduce:
1, Hood: 2, Roof: 3, Fenders: 4, Sound deadening: 5, Seats front: 6, Rear seats delete/basic: |

Are you a NITWIT?
I wonder how many guys here who say they really want an M2 never will get one, because they're always waiting for the next, best edition of the M2. In the meantime, they're missing out on the joys of driving an M2 – any M2 – now, and probably forever.
Some of the M2 Comp wannabees here actually have said that instead of buying the perfect M2 Comp ("The only real M2!" "What BMW wanted to build the first time!" "It has real M mirrors and cures all social diseases!"), they may wait for the M2 CS, M2 CSL, M2 GTS or M2 Whatever. Apparently the fun of not owning a BMW - backed by fertilizing multiple dealers with perpetual deposits – is all these NITWITs need! No, I Think Waiting Is Terrific! For the rest of you real M2 owners, let's shut down our computers and go for a drive! |

DCT only? No thank you. M4 GTS is not worth the money. If M2cs will be like the M4 GTS I rather get the M2 Competition.

I'm on the list for a CS/GTS/CSL. I already have an M4 with a manual that I'll be keeping as well, so the only thing I'm in the market for is a more track-oriented toy. That's also why if they don't end up by making the hardcore M2 I won't be distraught or feel like I've missed out on something because I already have an something amazing. I'm not on the list until infinity always waiting for the next best thing, I'm waiting for something specifically. |

I can't help but wonder if that photo is old, the car has the "base" side mirrors and the brakes don't look anything special.

The real question is, did your friend hear it shifting (i.e. DCT or 6MT)?

As we know:
Already early 2015 it was rumored that two types of M2 were developed at the same time: the regular M2 and a more spicy/angry sibling with more cues from the BMW GT6 Vision Concept (see the first post of this thread for a couple of quotes). Further, we recently learned that stricter EU emissions legislation taking force late Summer 2018 are the direct cause of the early exit of the N55 M2: "MR: Would you have kept the base M2 available for sale, if the WLTP would not have played any role in the decision making process?As initial M2 plans seem to have changed over time, this begs the question about the fate of the mysterious 'spicy sibling' (should the rumors of its earlier existence happen to be true):

YEP! when people keep saying.. " it's just another 120 lbs... " the problem is that BMW has been adding 120 lbs or more in each generation of their small coupes.. In the US from the 1M (3296 lbs) to the M2 (3450 lbs - 6MT ) there was a clear weight gain... and now the M2 gets a *second* helping of weight with the S55.
