Guy I met recently went through a saga very much like this but with his DeMan built Cayman for whatever that’s worth. DeMan made it right, but it happened.

awesome car man ! I'd list it for at least $50k, but I do think it's going to be tough with the damage the car had previously and all the replacements that were made. I think you could probably get mid $50k range with the right buyer. however, if you decide to part out, I'm extremely interested the steering wheel, arm rest, and possibly the seats you decide to let those go ! I'm located in Tampa, FL

After that, I think I also had some issues with mechanics that are not BMW related. And after that, once you overheat this block, it's done. Throw it away. These blocks are magnesium alloy and they warp or crack. That's what happened to me. The water pumps in these cars do not have a great reputation. If you guys know M2 Ghost - Matt - his N55 is down. He says he somehow got water into the fuel. But he's running a Pure Stage 2 turbo setup on the N55. Some other YouTubers I know say they've seen N55 fail on track more than most of the other motors. It makes sense. That motor is not made for high RPMs for extended periods of time. It seems to do great on the street. It just doesn't get as hot. Heat is the enemy. So, since I have a full reset on the motor, and a new track car, I'm definitely thinking street. No tune for now, although I'll load that back up after break in if I keep the car. It's just so much more fun! |

BTW - Did i mention this is a BMW M2 M Performance Edition - 1 or 150 - ZL9. So really, 1 of 75, since the other 75 have the DCT. |

By the way, my 2018 M2 was also sold as an M Performance edition. Even has the M Performance side decals. |

It's basically the ultimate stripper model OG M2. It's silly things like that that really could really set it apart in the long run. Especially since it's the swan song for the OG M2. Now my car, not a collector's dream for sure! That's why after the accident I went in the direction I did. |

The S55 is a closed deck motor and has better cooling. It's much more appropriate for track use. I'm not sure about the other 2. However, the fuel starvation issue has come up for others in M3's and I don't think they changed the fuel tank for the M2 Comp. That's the issue that really started this chain of events...

Sharp looking car. Seems well sorted. The built motor will be appealing. It's pricey for a track toy. Have you or anyone driven the car that can show solid lap times for the build? It's in used corvette territory for track use.

However, when everything was just right in the morning, I would get some hot laps in. Here's a 2:28 followed by a 2:27. That's Cayman GT4 territory. |
