I agree that having the CF in there is better...
High gloss carbon fiber trim will now be an option.
Sounds cheaper looking. I love the feeling of the exposed CF

Added to the first post:

Furthermore, the M2 Competition is also getting 1 and 2 driving mode buttons on the steering wheel.

Below on the left: F80 M3 - Below on the right: M2 Competition:



And here's a render by forum fellow Tag: he changed the orange contrast-stitching to Polar Blue to get us an idea:

So...are these just the same as "sport" and "sport+" in essence? Just relocated to the steering wheel.

Alike in base M2 VIN build sheets, nowhere in 'M2 Competition' VIN build sheets any reference whatsoever to the Adaptive M Suspension (BMW code 2VF).

On the other hand, upgraded brakes will be optional (option code 2NH: M Sport brakes) but no reference to carbon ceramic brakes in 'M2 Competition' VIN build sheets.

Riding a horse: just one setting and that's it. It's just a matter of getting a good horse.

Here's what M2 project manager Frank Isenberg said at the end of 2015 about the M2 tires, suspension and brakes:
"That chunkier body - 55mm wider front, 80mm rear - is essential to cover wider track courtesy of M4 forged aluminium suspension components. «The track is the same, but the M4 tyres wouldn't fit, so the tyres are 10mm narrower,» says Isenberg. The Michelin Pilot Sports measure 245/35 ZR19 front, 265/35 ZR19 rear.
The suspension is matched to bespoke springs and dampers but there's no adapative suspension. «The problem with adaptive dampers is you're changing the damper, not the spring, so you end up with a spring that is a compromise between two settings,» explains Isenberg.
Underneath the M2's squat body, additional bracing increases rigidity. «Boomerang braces» arc between headlamps and front wings, struts angled at 45 degrees glint through both kidney grilles like a rollcage through a rear window, and both the A-pillar and boot also sent for reinforcements.
The M4's optional carbon-ceramic brakes aren't offered, engineers arguing that the cost, plus the reduced power and weight of the M2 negate the need. Instead, regular M4 brakes are carried over - drilled discs all round, four-piston calipers front, two-piston rear - and you can ask your dealer for track pads; there's no performance increase and they squeak, but the last longer."

Let's just assume for a moment that it's a very realistic Photoshop render.

It's not a digital dash for the most part; still analog gauges with backlighting. The part that says m2 competition being the digital part.

I'm not a fan of the silver either, but I don't think it impedes anything, really. Does make it look like darth vader though.

why bother to make it digital at all if there must be rings? Same goes to every other digital dashes of BMW except for the new M8.

Imo, if bmw want to go digital. Go fully. Like Mercedes,Audi, tesla,etc. Take full advantage or digital dash. Now these half ass Bs is so stupid. Digital or analog , pick one, come on

They are trying to continue the look of VDO gauges. I get it though.

VDO Gauge company.

VDO was founded by Adolf Schindling and the result of a merger between DEUTA (Deutsche Tachometer-Werke GmbH, English: German Speedometer Works, Ltd.) and OTA Apparate GmbH (Offenbacher Tachometer-Werke GmbH, English: (City of) Offenbach Speedometer Works, Ltd.) in the German city of Frankfurt am Main in 1929.[2] VDO stands for "Vereinigte DEUTA - OTA, English: United DEUTA - OTA."

Well, even the car has not been officially confirmed, let alone the seats. So, no.

All known pre-series M2 Competition VINs feature a reference to black Dakota leather:
  • LCNL = plain leather + blue contrast stitching (Leder Dakota/schwarz Kontr.blau);
  • LCNZ = plain leather + orange contrast stitching (Leder Dakota/schw./kontr.orange);
  • MDB2 = perforated leather + blue contrast stitching (Led.dak.des.perf.schwarz/blau);
  • MDOE = perforated leather + orange contrast stitching (Led.dak.des.perf.schwarz/orange).
M2 Competition option code 712 doesn't mention the leather type: "M Sports Seat" ("M Sportsitze").

Take a closer look at the seats picture: looks can deceive, that much is true, but this looks pretty much like Dakota leather.

Excerpt of a pre-series M2 of 2015 (PR campaign: it got a special check for trade fair / photo): "Leder Dakota":

Excerpt of a VIN of a pre-series M2 Competition that's scheduled to be built in the near future. "Led.dak" = Leder Dakota = Dakota Leather:

Are they back to using M2 CS again? Some dealers are referring to it as M2 CS still. Can't wait for the name to be finalized.

Kinda like my basic 17 M2 as it is and the 7,000 Miles of driving to date.

Can someone list out all the different M2 variants now or future available so I can know what to be jealous of ...

Beyond having four doors....how is the m3 zcp any different/better than an m2 comp?

Maybe I have this all wrong. I guess the m3/4 doesn't have to be better than an M2, just a proportional increase in size/power?

If that were the case then the m5 wouldn't be significantly faster than the m3/4.

How will BMW differentiate an M4 and M2? I mean I have an m3 cause I have a kid and another on the way...meaning I need the 4 doors...

But if I had an m4 zcp, I would be pissed knowing the m2 comp is coming out with the same engine and is significantly smaller. And now it even has m buttons!

Can anyone shed some light on this?
