Artemis updated the thread. They are using CCB caliper weights, since they are the same calipers and oem weights for M rotors in 400x36/380x30 sizes.

Yes, I knew that regarding the calipers. What's unclear is where they got the weights for the rotors. I don't see anything indicating they got those numbers from a technical doc or otherwise. So the question remains...

So, if you put all the M Performance carbon fiber parts on the M2C...

And for some of us, you'll also have car that's a lot faster (with simple 10-min flash tune) Well, you don't need M performance parts for this but it's true in general for M2C. If you try really hard with those CF parts, lithium battery, you may get close to OG M2 weight level and have M4 ZCP or CS power figures safely. As you said, it would mean spending at least M3/M4 money though.

2019 Porsche 991 911 GTS ($120K)
MT: 3,197 lb PDK: 3,241 lb 2019 BMW M2C (~$60K) MT: 3,600 lb (403 lbs heavier) PDK: 3,655 lb (414 lbs heavier) Consider this. I'm fairly certain the take rate for the sunroof hits 25%-33%. Which means these M2C numbers include the sunroof weight according to US requirements. The M2C is a larger car, and half the price of what could be considered the best sports car on earth (aka any 911). I still believe the M2C is a winner and an absolute steal for the money.

So this plate would describe both what you've got - and what you want? I'll bet you'd still sneak out of her garage at 5 a.m., so the neighbors wouldn't see you. |

Yes, you sure can! They brought them back about 3 years ago.

Or it's slightly lighter than the M4 if you think they factored in the sunroof with the M2c weight and the heavier brakes. : I gave up trying to figure it all out, waiting for it to actually be weighed and to see some reviews.

In Europe and UK the brakes are optional and the M2 is 10kg lighter than M4. So something its up for sure. Hoepfully a good sign the brakes are included in the $4400(8% increase). Canada got a 9% increase with brakes included(also adapt led).

I've been saying all along that mirrors, faux "power domes", and an S in front of an engine nomenclature are not what defines an M car. Absolutely F the M-snobs, they're idiots for thinking those things define what an M car is. In all reality, I would rather the car have kept the N55 and upgraded it. Look at the Dinan Stage 3 Kit as a good example. And that kit is only about $6k. Upgrade the FMIC, more effective turbo, better oil cooling, and a good tune and you've got a car faster than the M2C and lighter. The S55 is not the end-all-be-all. If it weren't for the fact that I want to spec a new car so I can do an ED next year, I'd rather buy an '18 M2 and Dinan it out for the same price.
