Swedish configurator have had the M stitched seat belts too for a while. IMHO who cares about overpriced stitches. I wouldn't bother.

Topic suggestion: weight saving and wear & tear of black seat belts (optional feature on the base M2) versus striped M Seat Belts (standard feature on the M2 Competition).


By the way, the Smoker's Package option is available for the M2 Competition. So tick option 441 if you want to avoid an ashtray delete.

Brief update added to the first post of this thread:

'M2 COMPETITION' UPDATE #4 (DECEMBER 2017)

• Autumn 2017: 'M2 Competition' PR campaign cars have been built (see here);
• Winter 2017-2018: release and presentation of the M2 Competition (presentation location currently still unknown, but guessed to be the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2018 as likely venue - see here);
• mid 2018: M2 Competition (3.0 S55 engine - 302kW) replaces the base M2 (3.0 N55 engine - 272 kW);
• Sep 1, 2018: further step of EU6c emissions regulations implementation takes force in the European Union; non-compliance by a vehicle manufacturer = EU national authorities shall refuse to grant EC type approval or national type approval and shall consider certificates of conformity to be no longer valid and prohibit registration, sale or entry into service of non-compliant vehicles (see here, here and here);
• late 2019: though still unclear, a more powerful M2 sibling (3.0 S55 engine) is rumored to be scheduled for release; likely named "M2 CS" instead of "M2 CSL" (see here, here and here); resources assigned to work on this M2 variant project are rumored to be scheduled until August 2018 (here); the '999 cars' production figure has already been rumored a couple of times (see here, here, here and here).

On the German BMW enthusiasts forum '2erTalk' someone posted today that his dealer will be able to provide him with 'M2 Competition' specs and ordering conditions on January 9, 2018 (see here):

"Just had a call from my dealer.
On 09.01.2018 he will provide me with M2 Competition conditions/configuration.
Then information should be official."
("Gerade Anruf von meinem Freundlichen.
Konditionen/Konfig für M2 CP will er mir am 09.012018 geben.
Dann sollen Infos offiziell kommen.")

That would mean within three weeks from now.

Let's wait and see if this turns out to be accurate or not.

M2 allocations and they can't take any more orders till after April 2018.

^Interesting that a dealer told this member that they can't take any more factory orders until April 2018 or after

If it was an American dealer, I would have immediately written it off as bullshit

Maybe that is because they will then take your orders for the new one, which means we can drop our M2 Competition spec and orders in April.... which means....

See my post in the M2 variant sister thread: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...3#post22558143 (#1631).

"M2 CS" (March 2017 post, so likely "M2 Competition" now):

• scheduled start of production: March 2018
• scheduled end of production: October 2020

M2CS, so no M2 competition?

What about simply calling it the "M2 CP" ?

It is not a "Pack".

Didn't suggest that. "CP" is just typing less letters than "Competition".

[horsepower_and_hounds]

M2 ZCP

M2.0 nah
M2.2 nope
M2 S55drive 2.0
M2 S55sDrive2.0.
M2 S55Mdrive M30i - That's a perfect BMW name and I think it captures all the current nomenclature


Very odd that the X3M begins production 4/19 yet the X3 M40 and X4M40 begin after that 8/19

Wait... so we are back to the "CS" designation? Why does BMW keep flipping? Would seem like they don't know how to position this model. If it ends up being a "CS" I see them pricing it higher.
