Car Magazine UK article
https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/bmw/m2-cs/ Pretty flat and uninspiring review. I had a tough time following some of the analogies. Pretty sure there was a reinforcement of don't get cup2s if you value your safety. Brakes good, 6mt bad, twitchy chassis, if you've got the coin then why not, but you're not missing much if you don't. Last edited by medphysdave; 06-07-2020 at 07:28 PM.. |

I don't care about lap times or numbers or school run practicality, I want to know how much fun it is. I miss Clarkson reviews.

Honestly, no one is going to say anything other than great things on the M2CS. Even if it is 10% better than the M2C, reviewers are going to say this is worth it blah blah.
The M2CS is the most hyped modern performance BMW. Also the most drawn out model in recent memory in terms of marketing. There is now a certain expectation that it has to be good or what is the point of this long wait...😂

It must be frustrating to not have anything new to write about.

Here's the connection kit if it isn't already fitted. |

So is this another revenue source for Michelin? What is this $500 kit going to give me? More accurate pressure and temperature readings (for on track readings?)?? Temp across the tire width (doubtful)? |

That's one of the things I was trying to figure out - where the sensor was located, how good of surface temps it provides etc. Obviously real race teams use in tire sensing, but it's not the same as this. I think there is some value in temp and pressure profile over a session I guess, but not going to replace Pyro probe across the tread for checking alignment and pressure values it would seem.

The Michelin Connect user manual.
https://www.michelinman.com/on/deman...ser-manual.pdf I have been a tire pressure fanatic for a long time. It takes awhile to figure out how pressure, ambient temperature and road conditions affect handling with a given cold temperature tire pressure. Sometimes the pressure needs to be changed mid drive. It's kind of an abstract art with many variables. This Connect app might make it all easier, but it's really a track tool. |

I love data logging and datamining so it's just another way to geek out. Looks like they also make a ps4s connect tire as well. If I have to add the kit I'd probably pass, but if it were somehow integrated into the car I'd be all about it.

Is Hockenheim now listed as 1s faster than previous run. 1:54.8 vs 1:55.8? 6MT vs DCT?

Inside the car it seems DCT
