In all seriousness this M2 should of been offered from the VERY beginning back in 2016. Please BMW leave all the fluff out of this car. No need to electric seats, dual climate control, i drive, in a small sporty coupe IMO. This car should be all about the driving experience like the 1M. Bring back the oil temperate gauge and take out the 'efficient dynamics' crap from the gauge cluster that 99.9% of M2 owners do not want and is a waste of valuable space in the cluster! If people want the fluff make it an option. win/win for BMW and the true track enthusiasts can omit it and the people that want the creature comforts charge them.

It's amazing how many people just look at the specs and say oh, it sucks or underwhelming. How about you wait and see what reviewers think when they compare them back to back? Or here's a crazy idea, when you actually drive it yourself!

The weight should be comparable to that of a standard M2.

Since this is a 2017 Performance Edition and the 2018 M2 LCI is around the corner. That means its coming out of dealers Quarter 2 allocation correct?
People can place their orders fairly quickly I believe on this particular model and have it by summer. In the other thread it was indicated that the ZL9 package was only going to be offered with 6 speed manual, but I do not see it mentioned in Jason's post. Is this still true?

I don't see the value in this at all. door projectors, black mirror caps, "titanium" tips? Are they even trying anymore.

... they should've added ///M mirrors to sell out the 150 cash grabs, I mean cars, pronto.
These "editions" are nothing more than opportunities for dealers to take advantage of buyers with "Market Adjustments" while giving the customers little to nothing to be excited over.

Breakdown of non M-performance accessories of this car •Manually adjustable sport seats without heat or lumbar. The styling and upholstery is the same as other 2017 M2’s. Basically the same manual seats offered standard in Europe without heat and lumbar (which you can actually add here in Europe) • Basic keyless entry, without comfort access How is this special? It's just Comfort access. All M2's have this as an optional • Single zone automatic climate control 3 Pound weight reduction? • HiFi audio system, in place of Harman Kardon audio. Weight reduction + inferior HiFi system (if it's the standard f22 verson) • Removal of the smoker’s package 1/2 pound weight reduction? • Alpine White Base Colour Cheapest colour out of the 4 • Addition of black mirror caps Standard BSM mirrors, no M-style BONUS • LED door projectors with customer "Performance Edition" image Does a rice bag come with this? What's the target market here? 12 year olds • M Drivers Package Wow, an unlock code for a meaningless 20km/h speed increase + An overpriced 101 racing workshop Let's be serious here. This is all marketing bulls**t. |

Make that equipment standard and add the rest (sans the M Performance parts) to the Executive package.

It seems they forgot marketing 101. Where is hp bump by 15-20!?
Don't get me started on the led perf projector crap on a stripper M2! Suspension and exhaust upgrades are fine. |

Any color you like, as long as it is white. This car will stay glued to the track, but it will have a super stiff ride.

As someone mentioned above, the really troubling aspect of this "limited edition" is the fact that so many people have been waiting just to get one of these cars at all. Dealerships have been marking them up since day one and you are lucky if and when you can even get an allocation for one, let alone at MSRP. These 150 cars could have been what was necessary to allow supply to meet demand in the United States and let people who want them actually buy one without waiting forever and then paying a premium for the privilege of just getting one.

Maybe BMW had a surplus of M Performance parts for the M2 and this is the only way to move them fast??

You can mod your existing M2 to this with the same parts from the parts counter. I don't get what the big deal is. I want all the luxury ao I can just add the parts.
