The diameter of the CF driveshaft was too large. It had to be replaced by a conventional one because there wasn't room for the particulate filter on the exhaust system.
I didn't know that. Thx

Well, I agree. Though I believe it adds to the feel nowadays.

I think so too. But I still find those seats somewhat offensive as they are just standard sports seats found in f2x chassis reupholstered. But that's just me

Highly doubt they're going to spend money creating expensive custom parts (ie. CF drive shaft, CF roof, etc...) for a single model that will only be sold for barely 2 more years....

We'd be lucky to get an aluminum hood to counter the additional weight of the s55 but wouldn't hold my breath.

How about a functional side vent instead of a cosmetic M Gill? Function over form. The fake vent/gill is strange for such a performance vehicle.

Do you guys think, that the M2 Competition M Mirrors could be retro fitted to the current M2 model without major complications?

Yes, I think so, but I don't think it will be cheap! Just look at the prices for M3/M4 mirrors... Those are not cheap

The comp mirrors sure look a lot like a revised cap to me.

Have to agree. Seems like a cap to the same mirror body, wouldn't make much sense to redesign the mount and everything vs just cap.

It's doesn't look that way to me. It's looks like a full M-type mirror just like the M3/M4, one that is hard to duplicate with just a cap. I once thought about getting to Auto ID or IND m mirror caps, but after seeing these on the M2C; I want nothing less than something very very similar or identical.
