All I care about is to be able to make phone calls and stream Pandora. So you don't need enhanced USB for that? If that's the case.

Then LBB. Check

Well the price went down, too. And if you use two phones, or feel like the additional mic contributes to better sound for your callers, then one could argue those are rather "valuable", especially at the lower price.

Back on topic, I think we deserve a better teaser than just a logo!

yes, that's the case now. I took that $500 option off my M235i build at the last minute after someone on these boards noted a press release with the change in content for the 2015MY.

Yes, but you can code most of the option back into the car if you want. So, really it just adds the extra mic and I can say callers can hear me just fine with the one mic.

But yes, back on topic. This teaser of a teaser is lame. SCOTT26 previously posted a picture of Kermit in SF golden gate with a month plastered on it and it materialized to 0 news about the M2. An exciting month..... I'll believe it when I see it.

It seems that today is the day of the exciting M2 news.

Some minutes ago some guys in the german M-Forum said that there will be a official BMW aftermarket (Performance Series) coil-over suspension for the BMW M2, called "Competition-Suspension". The final testing of this suspension is also done.

SCOTT26 has said before that this car and it's "sibling" will be produced. Most people took that to mean a CSL version is being developed, but it could possibly be an M2 cabrio...
4 doors i have, interested in a convertible. And , i can wait

You can code support for two phones (simultaneously) connected?

And you can't code LTE support, which is only available via 6NS on MY2016 cars.

Wait for the final reveal, I dont think the renders are 100% accurate.
Renders have traditionally been pretty spot on, and even Scott26 said that the most recent render is pretty accurate, and he'd know. I don't like it.

But there are details that are wrong. It's definitely the right idea and what not, but it's far from 99% accurate.

There are just things on there that makes the front end look bulkier than it really is, while the rear flares are as wide as they should be.

Will it be night and day difference? No. But the rear deal will be better IMO. Not to mention these cars always tend to look better IRL on top of that

I believe so. I have it coded on my car and as far as I can remember, I am almost certain my girlfriend and I ran a test and had her phone playing music and I was able to receive phone calls on mine. I have never tested having both phones connected for calling though and this was months ago that we tried this so I could have been dreaming it up too.

And yeah lte support is hardware dependent not software limitations.

Close but no cigar. Humans and chimps share 98.8% of their DNA.

Yes. But this particular version of the N55 that goes into the M2 and X4 MPA is closed.
