You hit the nail in the head!!!

I already have a '15 M4 that I truly enjoy! My '17 M2 is my DD and a lot of fun to drive, but I would not buy an M2 that is pretty much a "baby M4" with the same engine and seats inside. The current M2 with the N55 is very balanced and sorted out. Knowing BMW, the new one will be a lot of fun too, but probably not enough to jump from my current car. |

I waited 30+ years to purchase an M car - took 8 months of waiting after I ordered. Tracked every step of build/transit. PCD delivery. This was my dream car and it still is. It will take a lot more than a Comp pack to get me to sell this car!

That possibility doesn't change my point at all, however - anyone dumping a current M2 just for the "new" lump will find themselves with another engine that'll be out of production in a little more than two years (about 29 months). Granted, there might be a gap before the next generation appears, so maybe they'll be content for three whole years - still not much time in my opinion.

NFW, especially since I just got mine a month ago! Besides, if pricing does as expected and most options are now a la carte, I'd probably be looking at an M3/M4. The current M2 was a relative bargain; the M2 Comp, although more capable, isn't looking to me like it'll have the same value proposition.

1. Why do you think the TMIC is not staying? 2. What makes you think the Comp is about numbers only without even driven one? We need to be open minded so we don’t get stuck at a particular point in history without progression (6 speed manual aside ) If it is a financial reason, I totally understand. If it is because people think it’s less fun then I have great news for you. The fun factor of this car is way up there. |

I've waited awhile to get this car, and the wait was mostly of my own doing. It's everything I thought it was, and then some. No way I'm trading it.

Now that I have seen the way the M2 Comp looks the Corvette Grand Sport in orange looks much better to me now.

I thoroughly enjoy my 17 M2 6MT. I already have added the bits to put my signature/touch on it. I already feel that I don't utilize the car to it's full potential so purchasing a 19 M2 Competition would only add to underutilizing the cars potential and spending more monthly... it doesn't compute in my case.
If I was looking to purchase an M2, I may consider the M2 Competition. But waiting for allocation, higher MSRP, the likely cost over MSRP (dealer markup), higher insurance premiums... I'd probably still chose a base M2 or look for a used Pre LCI. Fortunately, it's an easy decision for me. In a couple years, I'll see what direction the M2 goes and face this decision then. For now... I'm very happy with my base M2. |

Currently have a 2018 M2 as of October 2017. Going to wait for model year 2020 (July 2019 production) for a new M2. Can't see how buying a new car every year makes any sense. Every two years is fine and a happy medium.

EOP of F87 M2 is Oct 2020, F22 2-Series EOP is 2021. Usually there's a hiatus between end of production (EOP) of a BMW M model and the start of production (SOP) of its next-generation successor. |

I think he meant "a new M2" not " the new M2"
