Meh. Looks cool but if it’s over $70k may as well get a M3/4. Much better spacious interior with the same motor.
And why not just call it a CS? Seems strange to call it competition when ‘competition’ is currently just a package in the m3/4/5/6. Too much inconsistency. |

Hockenheim Silver is more of a classic BMW Silver. Lighter in consistency than Pure Metal Silver. More classic than any recent Silver on an M car. Expected to be available on the M8 too.

I also highly doubt BMW would put mirrors with worse aero on their M cars... E36 M, E9x M, F8x all have the double prong. Correlation is not causation. |

The side skirts.. the mirrors.. the bumper cover.. IT ALL is a part of it. BMW is the one that stated the reason for not having the mirrors. Sorry you don't believe ME repeating what THEY said about their vehicle. |

«We asked Al-Attar about some of the more controversial styling cues of the M2, as well, like the controversial issue with the lack of M mirrors. The M2 mirrors are pulled straight from the M235i while fans wanted the same mirrors from its bigger M brothers.

Drag coefiicients for most BMW models are printed right on the media info.. so you can check 228 vs M235/M240 vs M2 easily too see that CD increases. Power increases dramatically.. which overcomes the higher Cd in the wild. |

Is it possible that BMW will use new DME encryption on the S55 in this to keep it crippled?
I'm highly tempted to sell mine for this, but not unless it can be tuned to M3/4 levels of performance |

Looks like they did, look at the lower part of the front spoiler of both. And placement of the tow hook covers

Prove it. No really. The difference is likely negligible if not better on M mirrors.
