I will decide once we know the price,spec and sound. I will never say neaver but from what I have seen I'm sticking with the original M2

its the same seat but with a vertical cutout in the back. There is a massive difference between the current m2 seat and the standard m4 seat. one belongs in a M car, the other doesnt. very little difference between the standard m4 seat and the comp m4 seat.

http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/att...3&d=1524140894 UK gets sports seats, perforated leather, 788M wheels standard. Base OTR pricing is only going up 5%. Brakes are not standard, but the M4 Comp package doesn’t have a brake up grade either. So in conclusion the things you are complaining about are actually standard. |

I don’t think there was anything deceptive about BMW’s switchover from the LCI to the Comp. The company did what it had to do to keep an unexpectedly popular model alive. However, BMW should have waited a year and announced the LCI with the S55 for 2019. That would have been a much more “natural” move in the marketplace and would have eliminated much of the whining.
And for the record, “Competition” is a terrible name for a model that’s not stripped, lightened, hardened and horsepowered for use first on the track and second on the street. This new version of the M2 may be updated and improved, but it will never live up to its name that promises a world-beater. |

Im saying it would be nice to have the comp spec as standard and add the normal option as normal.

Oh wait but it weighs 120lbs more so it's probably shit. BMW is giving us all these upgrades for almost the same price as the outgoing M2 and yet people still expect they should have added CF roof, hood, lighter fender etc. Well, that will come too but not at this price point. I think M2C will be a whole lot more track focused car than N55 M2 but as I said I'm still waiting for the reviews and track tests. |

I have no idea how it will perform on the track (and it doesn't matter), but "Competition" is too grand a name for the next M2. It's not a hardcore Z/28, GT350R, ZL1 1LE, GT3 RS, etc. version of an M2 - it's just one step up from the first M2s and the LCI. It will be a street car that's trackable – and it may be the fastest M2 on the track, but it's not the ultimate track monster a vehicle with a name like Competition would promise.

I never said the car's performance is not improved. If you want to know what should be done with a track focused car, go see what people have done to the M2 as a track car. Hint: There is an effort to reduce weight. And another thing, I'm not complaining with what they did with the car, I am saying it's named badly. Last edited by akkando; 04-23-2018 at 03:41 PM.. |
