M4 CS = "not a limited series, just limited by production capacity", confirmed BMW M CEO Frank Van Meel (source: here - in the same interview he also confirmed that the production volume of the base M2 will be increased). As the "M2 CS = 1000 units limited edition" claim made in a recent Spanish article is spreading like wildfire on the interwebs, I repost my earlier comment, and assume that that claim will be debunked in the future: Quote:

(all render wizardry courtesy of our forum fellow Paul-Bracq-BMW: see here). Compare with two renders by Paul-Bracq-BMW of bolted-on CF splitters:

That orange looks terrible on M cars. Was at the dealership recently and they showed me M4 in that colour and the sales guy goes:
"Well, it doesn't look to good right... We've ordered the M Performance Package to make it a little better. I'll give you a call when we put it on if you like." I said: "Don't bother" It looked that bad, the colour is too dark in my opinion. If it was like in the render then yeah, why not. |

Question's ; If the front splitter is as shown how will this affect the drag? I'm assuming the frontal area on the M2 is one of the reasons it's slower after 100mph. Obviously the power hike will help but going 400hp and adding that splitter would negate quite a bit of that power bump as speed increases? Or will they add another 10-15hp to compensate for down force/drag.. |

Look at Corvettes with z07 package statistics. I think that's a good representation. Usually aero dings top speed, but increases cornering speed due to grip. Most tracks won't have you realizing the top speeds anyway.

But honestly I don't think it's as bad as most opinions on here. I had the chance to swap with an M2 owner; me in his N55 M2 with MPE and him in my 1M with MadDad mid pipes. I was excited to drive the M2 and also hear the MPE. Honestly, close your eyes and all I can think of is Ford F-350 diesel! Not sure what everyone is so excited about. I wasn't impressed with the N55 sound.

I was surprised by how unremarkable the N55 sounded (MPE mitigates it to some extent) and how aggressive the ZCP M3/4 MPE was. But only with ZCP, normal M3/4 with MPE wasn't that good (less crackles and overall drama I think). |

Have also been wondering if there has been any firmer indication of the pricing lately. Last time I was tracking this it was nothing but wild speculation. Has it landed into a narrower band yet?

When i said sportcat on an M2 is perfect, I meant that it is a great match for that car. The list is long and destinguished( like my j@#n$@n) of cars that sound better than the M2. I definitely like the M2 sound better than the M3/M4. IMO M3/M4 are too raspy and clicky- no personality, if that makes any sense. Honestly cringe-worthy when i hear it out in public. I hope BMW knows it to be a problem and are working to rectify
