If you're talking about the "high precision injection system", they're referring to the fuel injection system, not a water or meth injection system.

Ok that's what I thought, it seemed too good to be true! Love those BMW marketers...

Just FYI: the race track in the first video (long-haired driver) is Circuito de Jerez, in Spain.
I was there when Michael Schumacher won the GP of Europe, waaaay back in 1994.

Anyone else notice that the door sills don't have M2 on them? Just "M"

Speaking of the internal CF bits and pieces (and not just in the M2 - also in the 2-series M-P Performance cockpit add-ons), I've been thinking that BMW should absolutely devise one to replace the plastic part around the shifter, which is absolutely the cheapest-looking, prone to scratches and finger-prints part of the console - see my red arrow.... What do you think?

The area around the shifter is by far the cheapest-looking part of the whole F2x/F87 interior. It's better on the 6MT models because the shifter itself takes up more space but it's still not great. |

Am I the only one that finds carbon fibre everything is tacky? Too much of a good thing isn't good.

Well - the most import is not even more CF (I'm not an enthusiast of, though it's just me), but the matte black surrounding of the central CF piece around the shifter; I wonder whether it's alcantara? Difficult to say based on this pic alone... Anyway - just about anything would be better than this pathetic, hard, scratchable black plastic we have in stock "composition"; it's such a prominent place BMW have really screwed it up putting such a cheap material there!

The 3/4 LCI formalized the grille/headlight ensemble by making them look less stretched. But still, no.

0-60 with the DCT has also been lowered to 4.1 seconds (compared to 4.2s figure originally announced).

I must not appreciate technological advancement, but at least for applications of lots of carbon fiber, I prefer the "wet" look over the newer dry one. Dry looks fine if it is used sparingly, but too much and it is distracting. You can use more wet CF before you reach that point, I believe..

I am not in the market (year 1 on a 3 year lease for the M3), but my friendly sales guy has one already built: LBB, executive, manual. If you're interested PM me and I'll put you in touch.
This is not a sales pitch - the guy is a CCA instructor and would like to give priority to an true enthusiast rather than a speculator or a novelty seeker.
