The M2c stock sounds way better than the current gen M3/M4 stock. Sounds really good under load as well.

In my country, there is no one that I know of that has traded in his or her OG for competition. No one even talked about such a trade in. Maybe it's a culture thing - Any M owner thinks of upgrade, he or she thinks of 911 or better.

M2C hype may be dying there, but not here. I could not be happier with my M2 > M2C trade.

Yes, it sounds a bit crap for... 90 seconds.

There is no M2C hype.
M2C is OG M2's successor, and that's about it.

M2C is not faster, it's not better, doesn't have a nicer interior, doesn't have an engine which is up to the task better, it isn't sharper and certainly not more planted than OG M2.

--->It just is way heavier and sounds like a lawnmower.<-----

You'd be crazy to trade in your OG M2 for M2C. What were they thinking at //M GmbH. Idiots.




Cheers

What is this?

It IS faster, better, it certainly does have an engine up to the task better, better brakes also. Definetly will change my M2 to Comp next year.

If I were you, Robin, i'd do alot more research about these vehicles.

Well, being salty or bitter definitely works better, when there are no arguments left.


Enjoy your cars gentlemen, just like I/we do!

Ok. So you haven’t driven one nor been in one as a passenger. I’ve driven both. Loved the first one. Bought the updated model because it had enough to force me to buy it.

[dubzz24]

I plan on trading my OG M2 in on an M2C in about 2 years when the used pricing makes it worthwhile. Seats, power, brakes, and that beautiful Hockenheim silver. Not worth $20-25k more than I paid for my 1 year old 10k mile LBB, but when the price difference in the used market narrows I think it’ll be a pretty compelling value.

When I buy new cars I want to feel a noticeable difference.

Instead of shelling out cash in 2019 for the M2C, I will wait for the M2 CS version in early 2020. I may also consider the Porsche 718 Cayman gt4 if available with a PDK or the 992 911 Carrera. I just want a car with a noticeable upgrade than the one I have now.

Good luck in getting an allocation for the GT4, at least in the states. Hope u have 918 in your garage!

I think the general consensus is that if you already have an M2, it's not worth trading into the M2C. The only reason I bought one was that I'm coming out of a 335is convertible, and I wanted my next car to take on the track, but had more interior room than a Carrera. The M2 was a car I've always been interested in, but I could not get any dealer here in the Bay Area to help me, no test drives, no deals etc... I had expected the 'new' M2 Competition to be priced near $80k, but was surprised to see that the build I wanted was CHEAPER than the 2018 models... I ended up buying out of state from a high volume dealer at list, they threw in shipping and I got a $500 BMWCCA rebate. My experience was relatively simple and straight forward. I'm very happy with the car, but in all honesty, I would have been really happy in a 2018 model. My heart was set on having a Mineral Grey color too, BSM was my second choice. HS reminded me too much of the early 90's Audi pearl white color, not bad but didn't do it for me. If it means anything, simply embrace what you have, as it's a total badass car... and the sound of the N55 is pure music. I haven't let go of my 335is yet, as I'm still in love with that engine sound/exhaust - and nothing beats a convertible on a beautiful day.

You're going to buy a used M2C?

Back in 2015, Porsche US (PCNA) offered a right of first refusal to all those on the Porsche 918 Spyder VIP 'early access' program, allowing these privilege customers to secure a Cayman GT4 allocation ahead of the normal 'line' ("It is my pleasure to offer you, per your 918 Spyder VIP privileges, the opportunity to be among the first to acquire the new Cayman GT4."). PCNA offered them one week to decide and allocated the remaining US-allocated expected production to US dealers (source: here).

Hi so this is my first post and I'm stoked to say I have a brand new 18' coming with M performance upgrade 6 speed. I never had this type of car as I'm coming from Vettes and Vipers and a 911 turbo. It's been over 7 years since I was able to get another toy and it was time for a change. I test drove a 17' with performance exhaust and instantly wanted to order a 19' M2C. My local dealer said a lease was very expensive so I had to weigh my options then I found the 18' White with factory M performance exhaust and carbon tips mirror covers black side emblems etc... I decided to go with the 18' instead (3pedals only for me). The price was beyond phenomenal and the dealer was just awesome to deal with and that was that. Should be here Wednesday shipped to my door. I'm happy with the 18'

Nope I currently don't have a Porsche in my garage. So I guess my chances of a GT4 allocation are slim and none? Also, is it coming in PDK?
