I have no horse in the race and can tell from personal experience that this sort of temperature difference will be good for a couple of seconds on a 3 mile track. So while I like that the OG M2 is very capable, I have to believe that the M2C will be faster, if they both ran on the same day. Especially on a hot day, where the cooling is probably better on the M2C and the M2 will get heat soaked. |

Both nice cars but the M2C isn't that different. Not surprised that on a short track the OG is just as fast. It weighs 110lb less and has better low end snap.carl

splitting hairs a bit aren't we?
Assuming weather is equal M2C would be slightly quicker all around due to bhp, suspension and weight . both are very nice cars. arguably the 2 best M cars Rob |

I own a HS, manual. Bought it first week of September.. just haven’t bothered updating my bio. And the attached feature will not allow me to post pictures.
I’ve also owned an e30 323, e36 M3 (1998), 98 323is which was my daily driver for the past 5 years, Porsche 944 turbos. And those 951s are going up up and up... shame those 944 n/a’s arent doing the same. I think the same implies with the M2/M2C. Problem is we M2C (twin turbo S55 engine) owners currently, have to share the same M2 Blog section.. for now. The M2C puts up better lap times than the M2 even with the weather favoring the M2. My point was why bother with the M2 when you can have the M2C which, let’s be honest was supposed to be the M2 all along. A true M car the M2 is not..an awesome BMW coupe sport car the M2 was. |

LOL at some of these posts. I've been a part of Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Ford, Dodge, VW, etc. car forums over the decades owning almost every brand of car but I thought BMW forums would be a bit more mature with less trolling. I suppose I was wrong.

Not trying to be combative with you, but you are maybe being a little harsh on the OG. YMMV as always. |

Of course the new version is better buts it’s not a night and day difference. I really prefer the M2C, but I’m seeing really good deals on new OG M2s around here. Easily 10-21k less than an M2C, not sure if the upgrades are worth that!

I’m saying the M2C is better in every way and to see M2 owners try to pick apart and degrade the respect of the M2C is sad. I almost bought the M2 but heard rumors of the M2C and called their bluff. The wait was well worth it.. my commute to work is much more amusing... can hardly keep the backend down in 3rd/4th year through the curvy ramp onto I526. Mini rocket ship! |

After a bunch of press reviews stating that the M2C was much more performant than the OG M2, 'the M2 as it should have been from the start', or even 'finally a real M-car', it is interesting to note that a more subtle picture is gradually emerging: http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel5975-7280.htm

Let's be honest. Power makes a huge difference when getting put down which certainly is the case of F87 with 400hp or less on track. As an OG owner, I'll go ahead and admit C would be 1s quicker running back to back around this particular circuit where I see WOT for high % of time.
Keep in mind OG owner - in factory rating C is only 0.1s quicker in 0-60mph, because of limited traction, not because of the more torquey low down OG seems to have. On track, warmed up PSS easily handles OG stock power on 2nd gear, even on 1st. As a result OG would be losing 0.5-1s every time just revving thru 2nd-3rd gear. You can argue all day how 110lbs extra weight slows C down everywhere especially in corner, but more often these days when we take modern line (brake late, trading entry speed for earlier getting back on gas) in cornering, grip and horsepower really rules.
