Color palette also needs refreshing. Needs orange, red & some red-orange hues in the mix

Yeah, I can see that as another option... makes sense.

Although it probably won't happen (color wise), I'm day-dreaming of a San Marino Blue M2 CS right now.

Just compare the photo right before the close up photo in the original post. Don't see an intercooler.
Very good observation. I went a step further and looked at the camo pattern. The pattern in the close up with the intercooler is different from the camo on the other pictures. Take a look at the left side of the picture and compare it to the other picture. The pattern is different.

Also, the camo pattern on close up with the intercooler matches the pattern on the M2 LCI. The close up with the intercooler is definitely not the M2 CS. It is in fact the M2 LCI.

Looking at the other pics of the black car, the DCT cooler has been moved from the N55 location to the spot where the intercooler traditionally is.

It's a S55 folks. 100% guaranteed.



Compare to my M2


Now we know why you took your car apart.

If you're drawing comparisons, why are you changing up the order ??.

GTS is likely not gonna happen with this iteration of the M2.

Well the cars certainly go in the same order in terms of how expensive they will be. And performance.

I reversed them to the order of production because I believe that is important. The M4 will end before the M2 and they will need some sizzle for the 2020 model year (2019).

I am delighted that they are busy at work on adding even more driving substance to one of their best products and keeping the M promise of dynamism above all else.

Hmm. Sizzle just one year after the CS ?? It could happen but do you think it's likely.

I know it's a little early but if the regular M2 stays and the CS is added and come 2018 there are no spy shots of a possible GTS, would you let the CS go banking on the GTS ??

Hypothetically speaking..

Good job! So looks like LCI will be nothing major, and the introduction of CS with the S55 will be brilliant but out of my price range, unless I can sell a small child.

Ugh. I think I'd prefer a beefed up B58 over the S55 just for noise reasons. Those S55's sound like crap regardless of the exhaust they wear.

Does not sound good, I agree. Looks good though and I bet it will perform good (noise and sound aside)..
