Otherwise, the weight wasn't as bad as I thought seeing most of it can be removed without too much issue. (Seats can be replaced with fixed back buckets, and exhaust will probably be swapped out by most). |

Another thing is larger brakes, M sport seats, and 788M wheels aren't standard in many markets (unlike the US market). In other words, if you spec your M2C with blue brakes, 437M wheels, and regular seats let's say in Germany, the weight difference between M2 and M2C won't be anywhere near what's quoted in the article.

Which is a great thing. Only issue is our lack of an option sheet. |

I would argue that if your intent is tracking and or autocross the lower you can get unstrung weight the easier the car is to rotate . That would not only include lighter wheels AND tires but lighter brakes. I do wish the M4 ceramic brakes were offered on the M2. For street use a non issue

Fronts 26.3% larger Rears 28.3% larger The math I did to get that is: 380x30 = 11,400 400x36 = 14,400 26.3% difference 370x24 = 8,880 380x30 = 11,400 28.3% difference .......... If we look at the weights, they are lighter than expected in relation to the increased size. Fronts are only 22.8% heaver Rears are only 21.5% heaver |

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, the internals are vented so I was thinking 20mm no way it should be 2kg more, and since the calipers are nearly solid it would make sense that's where the weight came from. But if that's not the case then well that's pretty crazy. Maybe it's a different composition of metal? The rotors on the og m2 are really soft and over heat and wear way too quick.

Maybe because in some markets you get a choice of wheels?

Volume = 3.14~ * r^2 * H OGm2 Front disk volume (assuming these are actually just cylinders) : V≈3.4×10^6 2NH Front disk volume : V≈4.52×10^6 difference in volume of the hypothetical disks is 32% This is just for fun, the above numbers are pretty pointless since we dont know: Alloy used in both disks Hat dimensions of both disks Vane design/count of both disks Space cut for airflow in both disks (drilled holes, and the dimensions of the vanes for airflow in the center of the disk) etc... |

IMO the OG M2 is the M2 to have If someone is getting an M2. The M2C doesn't add anything to the equation that's needed, in my eyes...

Perhaps they intentionally added the weight, so they can create the M2 CSL and claim a few hundred pound weight savings.
