I agree and I agree. But when I first got behind the wheel of my M4, I thought bmw sold their souls to the devil and made a rather ridiculously fast car. With a few mods they are monstrously fast in a straight line, but that being said on the track or fun country road they lack the luster of the previous high revving NA cars.

Then again, the utility of having the M3 (as a dude with kids who could use the extra 2 doors) while still having a formidable M car is what is still drawing me to the M3. I love seeing posts like this because it progresses the discussion.

I'm really torn with my car because I love it so and there's simply nothing new I'd replace it with short of $100k. I might look into an ESS 525 kit for it next Spring and then just drive it until it completely falls apart. |

M2 DCT does 12.5-12.7 in 1/4 mile. It should've tied other cars in 1/4 drag race.
Once again, it's shameful for some journalist to make manual vs DCT race. There is no point in doing that as you don't know how many times get lost in shifting, which is normally many.

I liked better the vid where they compared the track times.
These drag races are somehow ... pointless... If you're interested in this kind of races you can start with the new M5. Stock is pretty fast, with a tune will be a weapon |

Also.. it all depends on how many of the M2 with S55 are available. .. and I can already tell you .. there won't be many. Even if BMW is selling 2000 M2 a year right now.. ( and more likely that's a pipe dream) .. how many of those will be an M2 CS next year ? Even if everyone decided to get an M2 CS next year and they made 2000... bmw has already sold 76,000 M3 and M4.. ... that's at least 10,000 a year so far... so you tell me how all those M3 and M4 buyers are gonna get an M2? This is why the M2 is a limited production vehicle. BMW is NOT making as many as they could sell. They are making as many as they want. And they clearly WANT to sell M3 and M4. |

Agree 1 million percent. it's absolutely pointless to compare manual vs automatics and has been for about 80 years The M2 is far more hamstrung in this race by the missing Turbo and 65hp than the gearbox, but you won't have much longer to wait to really see an interesting heads up comparison when the M2 CS is pitted against an M4 ZCP. Of course .. all the journalists will probably find a 6 MT ZCP.. |

Interesting in the drag race the M4 actually overtook the M5 and came in first.
M5/6 with its massive power should be harder to launch but in the video the M5 clearly was ahead of the M4 at launch but then the M4 ran past it. Don't know track condition but maybe the M5 also had wheel spin in 2nd and 3rd gear, otherwise it's really strange how the M4 pulled ahead of both the M5 and M6. |
