Awesome post, thanks! HS looks great here.

I just don't understand why 1) the kidneys have become a mustache, and 2) how this car can really be 121 lbs. heavier... that's like driving around with a chick in the passenger seat all the time. Or four 30 lb. bags of dog food.

It's turning into the M4. Dare I call this the M2.5? Oh well...

I bet those brakes are gnarly on a track.

For sound BMW put up this audio clip of the sound. Probably heavily edited but here is the clip I found on BMW UK youtube channel.

Let's call it BMW unibrow/monobrow Competition
So we have:
M2
M2 LCI
M2 Unibrow Competition

I kid, I kid, It's great to welcome another M2 iteration, and I thought the emission restrictions in EU are pointless and in the end they gave us S55 in M2s body thanks to it

Sounds like a S55. Must be an S55. Not great, and I have an S55.

I can live with that, but the down shift doesn't sound nearly as good as the N55.

Do we know if there is an OEM performance exhaust option for the M2C? If so perhaps that clip is with it.

You have two seat option in the M2C:

1. Base seats same as M2 (LCI) Coupe with two types of stitching colors
2. M Sport seats new to the M2C with two types of stichting colors.

MR
We spoke about perforated seats also, are they available too ?

Very nice but still sticking with my LCI... ...or I guess it's now just called the "base"...

...well, to be clear, I will be buying that red start/stop button from IND to keep up with the Jones's.

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.

MR
Exactly my scenario! Cept I wont wrap in color.. I like the HS!

I don't think that sounds bad, IMO.
For an S55 that is pretty good, in fact.
Do we know if that is stock?

To me it looks like the M2 Competition has a different Font on the dials. Same font as the M Performance decals for the side skirts. Squarer and futuristic.

Whereas the Font on the LCI looks regular and "plain".
