A Carbon Fiber roof would be awesome but it isn't going to happen either because there have been no test cars with the CF roof. I think your 64k US number is pretty close to what the M2 CS will cost. Last edited by SW19; 09-02-2017 at 09:04 PM.. |

I don't see how this could be considered a more track focused car without more aggressive bolstering in the seats. Anyone who has tracked a car has recognized how confidence inspiring it is when held firmly in place by a good set of seats. |

The seats have to change with some additional bolstering if BMW wants to market this as a track focused car. Jason , ynguldyn, Artemis , Dackelone : Any new information on any aspects of the car ?? |

They should put those seats in the M2 The looks of the M4 CS is great, all BMW need to do is copy it into a smaller M2 package. I'm hopeful they will but expecting to be disappointed |

I don't know how they expect people to track their car with those standard M2 seats.
My 1M has similar seats and I have to push my leg hard against the center console to stop my body from moving sideway during hard cornering at the track. This distracts me from getting the best out of my car. Their standard seats simply do not provide sufficient lateral support for hard cornering. They should make those M badged Recaro seats available again as an option. This really is a no brainer. |

Just mount 2 recaro race seats if you are tracking your car.
Also the m4 cs seats does not give you enough support on track! |

Brakes, cooling, alignment range, seats, SS braded brake lines should all be in place. As well as Exec pack for creature comforts outside the above. A nice feature would be the ability to mount a harness bar, and mounting points for lap/submarine belts. |

First imagine how you think BMW will position/market the M2 CS and its expected main use by target customers: daily driver ? mainly (extra) urban ? mainly track ? or a mix of all that ? Don't confuse 'versatile' with 'jack of all trades, master of none'. Subsequently, do the same exercise with the base M2 and compare your answers (whilst keeping in mind about the base M2 that "every adventure requires a first step"). Then ask yourself: would it make sense that BMW offers more choice this time around ? Maybe asking yourself that question, is already answering it. Although in the end BMW could prove us all wrong, I trust that they will walk the smart road by offering choices, as this may offer an advantage over the competition, garner interest of a broad market of potential customers and allow to keep the base price (zero options) attractive. Let's face it: Porsche brilliantly masters the highly profitable 'à la carte' (personalization) success formula: your wish is our command. This may inspire BMW as well (of course to the extent that it's compatible with production facility possibilities and, probably, the M3/M4 hierarchy).

The other scenario where that analogy would make sense is if BMW was the "Alice" and they were asking themselves that question about where they wanted to go with the M2 CS. In such a scenario where BMW was "Alice", at the end of the day, Alice cannot be at more than one place at the same time. She would have to pick one place and not think about the other. Hopefully, she picks the right place. This is basically the old adage "You cannot please all the people, all the time". Some of us people have not been pleased for quite some time and it is now high time Last edited by Gatte; 09-03-2017 at 02:04 PM.. |

So please sit back, relax and trust that they know what they're doing. Patience is a virtue. Allow them the required breathing space to (hopefully) make history. A couple of pacifiers: Quote:

From a profit point of view I guess a high price and a profit margin of say 50% on low volume might be as good as 20% on higher volume and lower price and less hassle for the factory By making it limited they can almost name their own price |

What i really want to know.
Will the LCI stop production and the CS take over. Or will the LCI still be available next to the CS? |
