I want one.

That time was set with the new Cup 2 R tyres that is not available to the general public yet. If the 918 had those tyres back in 2013 it would have been faster.

You walk up to the new woman and greet her. She says "Hi !" followed by some strange noise. And you think by yourself: "Oh dear, I love how my wife speaks and screams when going through the curves. Even better: I love my wife the way she is." The End.

And you also notice that she has a unibrow! Makes you think to yourself: "Oh my, I love my wife's perfectly-proportioned eye brows! The END, indeed!

As soon as those part numbers come out my mirrors are getting swapped. The stock mirrors aren't even that bad it's just that they are the same as my x1. Drives me nuts. The seats are cool too but not sure if they will be worth it over a Sportster CS.

Great. What happened to the 1M though?

Cry me a river. Sure, the M2 Competition is upgraded, but its not the end of the world. Its not BMW's fault that you bought one at the wrong time. If you bought an iPhone 7, and a year later they released an iPhone 8, would you be mad at Apple? I wouldnt.

I would not be upset. Primarily because I do not believe the story that the CS will be priced similarly to the base M2. The MSRP, may be that way, but don't doubt that the dealers will apply a major premium on it because of all the people who will have to have it.
Could just as easily call them suckers. But I won't. To each his own. I love my M2, and have no interest in the CS.

You could but you'd be throwing so much money away if you bought new, only to have another iteration come out soon after that. Just skip the Comp and wait for the Comp 2.0 or CS.
Frankly if cost isn't important and you want the wrong transmission (DCT) I'd just wait for the CS.

If the cost isn't important, he'd just buy a M2C and enjoy while waiting for the CS or even the next gen with S58. Oh wait, maybe that's what he is doing already

That's the wild thing toy that has some stability issues ... not the one for ltr judging by the number of owners on some of them

It's a tax write off for me.

Lots of idiots in here trying to tow the BMW corporate party line like they're employees or something.

I sympathize with the OP, I think it's pretty shitty and feels almost like a bit of planned obsolescence. Right now KBB says my M2 is worth 48-51k - Not sure I can actually get close to 50 now, but if I can I think I might sell the car and sit on the cash for awhile and wait until I can find a M2 comp near MSRP, or I might just pick up a P-car. I'm a bit soured by this.

Will this new model by limited in production or manufactured indefinitely?

Great example, because a $1,000 iPhone has the same design life as a $50,000 vehicle.

Would you like some cheese with your whine !?!

I am not sure of BMW's strategy here. The 2016 M2 is stock almost as quick as an M3 the new version will be quicker especially with a tune. Which will be incredibly easy to do. So really you are buying a 500hp M2. So why go up the food chain. The 2019 M2 will be a beast any way you look at it. It seems incredibly stupid of BMW to me. Yes they can sell more M2's but they can hurt the rest of the lineup....unless the M3/4 become AWD.

There is no reason to insult people. We are all lucky to drive these cars.

What do you think how did M4 GTS owners feel when they got killed by Camaro and some of them payed over MSRP?

To answer your question M2c is not limited as far as we know.

If you want to have exclusivity you got to play with big boys.

Enjoy your M2!

There is a big assumption here about an engine no one has put their hands on yet. I'd say let's wait before we assume this engine will be tunable to 500hp. BMW is many things, but no one has accused them of not knowing how to make money.

Are you always so naive? Didn’t believe the S55 was coming. Well it’s here. Don’t believe this engine can be tuned to 500hp? Well it’s going to happen regardless if it needs extra bolt-ons. What’s next on your list?

Bolt-ons? Well, since you're an expert on tuning, how much HP do you think you can get out of the M2 N55 with bolt-ons? I was thinking flash tuning. And waiting for evidence is not called naive. Grow up.

And I never said I didn't believe an S55 will be in the next M2. What are you talking about?
