so far .. magic 8 ball says " unclear".

If there were a 6 MT in an M2 CS... It certainly wouldn't align with the M4 CS .. so you decide on how muddled the product planning and marketing department is at BMW ..

I'm still amazed that only 150 M2 in the US market have manual seats ...

Lol. It most definitely stalls. I tested this with a manual m2 a few weeks ago.

the hill holder feature has been on BMWs this entire decade. it's on my 2011 1M.

The 1M has so much low end torque I can make a 5mph " street start" in 3rd... maybe even 4th without lugging.. The M2 has the same torque and this is what gives the ability to do a creep speed easily.

The auto rev match was well known to be on the M2.

the clutch being lightweight... one would have needed a test drive ..so that would have been out for most buyers...

for anyone that even thinks for a MOMENT that they want a manual.. I can't fathom spending 3K for a DCT ... (don't do METH!)
if the DCT were a no cost option that's one thing.. *shrug*

Give it a rest dude, we get it, you don't like dual clutch transmissions. Some people do like them.

I ordered Black Front Grills and Black Side Gills. Still not sure if I'll get the CP M3/M4 black glossy exhaust tips which fit on the F87. It could add up for making a nice full black exterior.

Exactly my build, expected to arrive at the dealer end of June. Including black grills and gills... there goes being original
With the exception of mine being a 6MT, test drove both, and (in this car) 6MT won me over...
I didn't know the M4 CP tips fit the M2, thanks for the tip, next one on my list
The carbon interior bit: is this a full set to replace everything or just the handbrake, steering wheel and center console?

No, the kit brings 3 things: the handle of the hand brake, the center console bit around the base of the stick and the cf part of the head of the stick itself.
The steering wheel part has to be ordered separately.

Are you happy with the Xpel? Where did you have it installed?

[MaximeRS]

Wow, quite a few Belgians in this thread. I took delivery my LBB yesterday, and crossed path with a black one near Wavre. Was it any of you guys ?

@BM Creeper If you have infos / insights about Xpel, I'm interested too.

I did the full front Xpel including lights, plus mirror cups, rockers, inside of door handles, replacement of stock rear fender protection with larger Xpel one, trunk charging area, and the small below area at the back of rear wheels. Then everything else has been treated with Gyeon.
After much searching, comparison and even visiting two other places I went with http://www.pole-position.be/ in Harelbeke near Kortrijk.
