Taking this into consideration, an m2csl COULD be a very special car. Even a touch more hp in a lighter configuration with the 2 series platform? Not to get excited, but it could be really hot. I could even speculate that it would be so hot that they wouldn't produce it due to the impact on the rest of the lineup. |

But we can always express what we personally think about the likelihood of the claim that the "M2 Competition" will be limited to 1,000 cars (claim: see here, here and recently also here). I said it before and I'll say it again (see here and here): IMHO the M2 Competition will be no limited edition, but only limited by production capacity (alike the M4 CS). Why ? Because that would only be common sense, also from a marketing/sales perspective: if the "M2 Competition" price is kept competitive, the car will be a sales hit. And for sure the Leipzig factory has the production capacity to make more than just 1,000 M2 variants (especially if the M2 N55 is retired in June 2018, passing the floor to the M2 S55 variant). The "M2 CSL" rumored for 2019, could be a different story (likely a limited edition). I'm prepared to make this bet about the 2018 "M2 Competition":

I think they were referencing some other car, possibly the CS or CSL. The competition M2, if it replaces the base M2 should not be limited to 1000 units. It should be way higher. Only confusing aspect is... How would the dealerships be told about this car so much ahead of time. |

Me too, but I'll raise you two wheels and an invitation.
From 2003....getting ready to spool it up in the Dolomiti on the new MV SPR before it went public. |

If sales for the M2 was slow initially, they might have changed to the B58 for the 2018 LCI. But since the demand was so high, BMW didn't have to make the effort to offer anymore.

Not sure why the camera guy wasn't focusing more on model with the wing??? No cage or rear seat removal yet. |

I am not sure when BMWBLOG became so bad. The car that is on the video does not have a rear wing. What they see and think is the wing is just a piece of ground that looks like the wing unless I am missing something. |

I see what you're saying after zooming in. If looking through the rear glass, there is nothing there. No wonder the lack of interest in the video.
The brakes seem to be the smaller set on that mule. Couldn't see on the other car. |

What is going on with the rear muffler? Hopefully that is just for testing and they will make it smaller and tuck it up further into the underside. If not it will look like crap and ruin the beautiful back end that we all so much enjoy.

That is my biggest concern with the design of the M2 Competition.The muffler is very large and noticeable in all of the test pics that have been posted on the forum.They will definitely need to redesign the rear bumper to hide it.
