Get a grip, if you drove both it’s not even a question as to which is faster. I don’t own either one, but more sour grapes from you I see... The difference at highway speeds is significant and easily felt. |

Anecdotally it seems like more engine troubles on m2c cars then m2 cars when reading the forum threads. Could be wrong though, just seems like as little time as the m2c has been out, there has been a higher rate of engine trouble.

Lol you have no idea what I can and cannot afford 😂 just because everyone is pointing facts out that your OG is slower than the M2C doesn't mean we all of a sudden struggle to afford the new competition 😂🤣

in particular, when the car is already moving (think track, or just spirited highway driving): these are not "split second" differences, these are pretty pointed. Again, I have no idea why this thread is still going, 11 pages strong!! BOTH cars are phenomenal, both are outstanding, much like the M4 vs M4C...

Lol. Have you even driven a M2C? I owned 3 OG M2 with the latest being a 18 LCI DCT until I switched to M2C DCT. No question, M2C is torquer and faster even at normal road speeds (and below 3k rpm).

nice rebuttal kiddo.... why don't you just enjoy your car, a great amazing fun car at that, and let facts and grown ups discuss this topic with the plutonic level it deserves.
to ignored list you go, troll

Just my two cents to a beaten down topic. I owned an OG 2017 M2 which was intended to be the replacement to my 09 135i. I certainly enjoyed many aspects of the car, but for what it's worth, for every improvement over my "antique" 1-series, there seemed to be something else that felt like a step-back. My 135i seemed like it a had reasonable balance between the mechanical and the electronic... the M2 experience felt somewhat disconnected.
For what it's worth, I also found the power output to be significantly disappointing.... there was just something that felt "lazy" about the throttle and turbos in that car. Slamming the gas pedal felt like the car needed a second to wake-up before it engaged properly. My 135i does not have that feeling. There's tubo lag, yes, but it still feels as if pushing the gas has an immediate reaction, which only pulls stronger once the turbos fully engage. And to dispel any rumors - it was a stick shift and I played with all of the Sport+ settings.... those settings certainly made the throttle touchy, but they didn't change the laziness of output to any significant degree. I would assume (hope) that the S55 engine fixes this problem on the M2C. The N55 was, to me, a letdown of an engine - especially compared to the N54. Suffice it to say, I sold the M2 about a year after I bought it. I'm still driving the 135i as my daily, and even though she's getting a bit old and tired, she can still put a smile on my face. If the M2C is truly the improvement that some are saying (and the least of my worries is that it sounds a bit worse), then I might consider it after my 135i takes its final bow. |

A twitchy throttle isn't the fix. Yes, the engine reacted a hair faster, but the power did not. It's something that I find difficult to explain, but I relegated it to A) Either a slower turbo response, or B) The NA portion of the N54 engine was that much better than the N55, so it helped mask the lag in a way that the M2 couldn't. I'm thinking that it's the latter. I remember owners of later 135i models (that switched from the N54 to the N55 engine) mentioning this phenomenon. I guess that if you don't compare them head-to-head, you might not realize it. |
