M2 Competition revealed and announced by Evo magazine
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Not sure if any of the following is news, but these are things I picked out: 404bhp, 406lb ft. Manual or DCT. Weight up by 55kg due to engine cooling changes. Steel track brakes available - 6 piston with 400mm discs front, 4 piston with 380mm discs rear. M4 style Carbon strut brace. Ball jointed suspension. M sports seat with illuminated logo. Basic price in UK £47,260 (compared to current price of £46,695), available from July. So, seems like a bit of a bargain! |

If the MSRP is actually only increasing by ~1%, it would seem anyone with a current M2 wanting to sell better act now. That's crazy.

I bought the May 2018 edition of Evo Magazine after seeing this and see nothing about the M2 Competition in there. Did I just get duped out of $7

So all jokes aside (and I bloody love jokes!)...is this actually out to buy now or has someone just seen an advanced copy and will be up for sale end of April (after Beijing show)?

+1 without pics, this is just Bimmerpost meltdown material.
PS - there's no way the M2C only goes up 1% in price, right !?!?!? I never expected 10K...but that seems artificially low to me.

All due respect, but there is no way in hell cost-cutting BMW will price the revamp M2 that cheap... However, if you're correct, I am heading to dealership right now to place an order, 'cause that's the bargain of the year. Please upload the article! Pretty please!

The cost per unit production is dropping with each that they make. Especially when they have oversold by "50 percent " based on their own estimates. The M2 Competition is essentially an iPhone " S ". or SE type model. It gets the better power unit ( battery /cpu) in the old chassis. None of these new parts were DESIGNED for The M2 aside from whatever work it took to route the cooling system and route the exhaust. Mirrors - per @scott26 - derived from Upcoming X3M Seats - straight from M4 Upgrade Brakes - 5 series New Colors - yeah. Seat stripes - ha ! S55 motor - straight from M3/M4 Did I get all the list of changes ? |

I guess you are waiting for the official news so that 6000 people all call their dealer and ask to get in line on the same day. That makes sense. |

Even though I just got my LCI M2, it'd be awesome if the price increase for the M2C is that small. Who knows what options would have to be ticked on the M2C to get to the base equipment level of the Civic M2, but no matter what it'd at least indicate that BMW intends to keep this car "accessible."
I still have no intention of getting rid of my LCI M2 regardless of the price increase (or lack thereof) of the M2C...nor do I feel like being on a waiting list for another year or more. I love my car's old, crusty face, crummy seats, and gutless engine. Hell, mine's even gray on the outside to reflect just how old and outdated it is! |
