8k increase is not too bad

ryem3 · 07-08-2017, 12:14 PM

Yeah, yeah, really doesn't say anything. I didn't sense anything definitive in that article. Even that price premium is speculation.

"Codenamed F87"

Glad they are offering this, but for me it's a big meh. Think they nailed it with the original. Not saying more hp isnt nice, but the package now is pretty well sorted out. And while another roughly 10k dollars isn't too bad for is being potentially offered, now I'm thinking m4.

lax01 · 07-08-2017, 01:26 PM

60 lbs is literally nothing - it needs to drop like 200-300 lbs
40hp is nothing - it should be up like 50-100hp

Doesn't seem worth the premium to me...granted everything was speculation.

And lol, the cold weather test car has the regular mirrors that everyone hates

chmura · 07-08-2017, 01:58 PM

Will a 6MT be offered?

bluebro · 07-08-2017, 02:24 PM

That is exactly the style of lip spoiler I'd envisioned on my car, something that turns up at the sides to match the curve of the front bumper.
Hoping a manufacturer notes the design.

Will the aluminum roof include a lightweight glass moonroof?

I somehow seriously doubt it.

Probably has a lot more tuning potential if you're into that.

I got sent that link too, seems odd that dealers are sending that out as information. I certainly wasn't expecting a link to a magazine article.

Why would they add weight to a car that is supposed to the the top performance model?? Even if you had lightweight glass you still need the mechanism and structure so your adding weight for no real benefit.

Are adaptive LEDs standard?

"CAR's Munich sources suggest 0-62mph tumbles to just 4.2sec. Make no mistake, the 2018 M2 CS is a pretty serious bit of kit"

What is it tumbling from? 0-62 in 4.2sec is what Autobild got for the M2.

Hey, give the dealer credit for being aware of what's being said in the media about the cars they sell!

How many other dealers have no idea what they'll be selling until the cars land on their lots?
