My First Look: BMW M2 Competition Offers You More

YuravB · 04-17-2018, 06:03 PM

Does the font of the gauge cluster look a bit older AMG , or is it just me?

I wonder if the brakes and seats can be retrofitted.
I actually like the front end better on the original/LCI.
Too bad on the S55 sound, but I'm sure the performance ceiling makes up for it.

Thanks for the detailed images!

Nope the bodywork has not changed.

Retrofit the seats and brakes? I think you can but it will not be cheap.

HS.... Reason is quite simple.

I will not get a black car.
I already had a white 135i.
My M2 is LBB.
Sunset Orange is for the M135i and oldies in a midlife crisis with a X1.
This means HS is left... I don't think it is super cool, but I will wrap it in San Marino Blue and then all is fixed.

Pretty much amazed that I covered most of your questions in my stories...

I am diving into bed really soon, so I will pick up answering tomorrow.

Just one more question,are the gauges exactly the same as the M2 LCi except for M2 Competition showing at startup?

Oh well, RIP Mineral Grey. Hardly knew there. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

I think all new M cars starting with the M5 will have that font in the instrument cluster.

Fenerbahce · 04-17-2018, 07:44 PM

It looks like the M Sport seats do not come with power adjustability and/or memory. Is that correct? That's probably fine given the purpose of the car, but can you confirm if the M Sport seats at least have adjustable lumbar support?

My 135i doesn't have lumbar support, and I'm frankly done carrying around a pillow to stuff behind me.

The car is the same width.
We haven't heard the car yet.

chief1richard · 04-17-2018, 07:51 PM

Love the manual seats, had them in my 228. Lets you sit lower in the car and very easy and quick to use.

The UK M2 doesn't have electric seats as standard, but they are standard in the US. We usually get loaded vehicles for less money in the US.

Will sunroof be an option? both in the north american market and worldwide?

jmg · 04-17-2018, 09:37 PM

I love everything about this car with few exceptions!

1) I don't care about leather. I love the M3/4 seats, but it would have been better in carbonstructure

2) The kidney's look good from an angle, but not straight on. The shape is fine, it's the non-body colored center. I'm getting used to it tough.

3) Really BMW? You couldn't just make a new plate to not have a blank button for the missing adaptive suspension button?

4) I prefer the glossy CF interior trim, but this is fine. It's fine.

5) I have a huge issue with Hockenheim Silver... That it's not available on an M3/4. So jealous. I think it looks great.

M2PDX · 04-17-2018, 10:02 PM

Gotta say....I love it!

Can't wait to see a few tests begin to appear!

For your information, I did hear the engine at idle, but I was not allow to rev it until the press drives this summer and I was not allowed to make a sound clip of it. I can tell you that it sounded similar to the M4 at idle, but that was about it. I know it is no decent info, but this is it for now.

Full pricing will follow in May!

MR

The wheels in your picture, are they the light high-sheen (bi-color) or those with a black front surface? Looks real dark to me, but it might be the lighting...

DanG · 04-17-2018, 10:32 PM

The front of the car still looks like it has a mustache. But it should be a fun car.
