Your M2 Competition looks sick! I love the colour on it... it's kind of like silverish white. When would it be shipped back to Canada then??

s55 doesn't have overboost, it's a beast 100% of the time.

Yeah, and according to a dyno of a 2015 M3, peak torque is actually achieved at 3100-3200 RPM.

The seat of pants feeling of fast probably has a lot to do with jerk (derivative of acceleration).

Not sure if OP has mentioned here but what type of mileage are you getting out of one full tank.

Wondering if BMW has increased the size of the gas tank with the s55 engine.

Yeah, you can do a Welt delivery of basically any BMW if it's European spec, they have two different Welt delivery options, Euro Delivery for US and Canadian vehicles is the higher end option.

You can also do a Welt delivery of a US spec vehicle built outside of Europe as long as you're importing into Europe. BMW will not do the import paperwork for you if it's a US spec version and you have to go to the Zoll Office in Munich and do it yourself or have your dealer do it for you if they have a rep. It's not bad, just an extra step. I picked up my US spec X3 at the Welt and I'll probably end up doing the same with the M2C which is a lot easier since you don't have to import it into Europe since it's made here.

Lotus99 - I think I ran into you at Frankie's before your Nurburgring drive. How'd it go?

This is the first thing I turn off every time I get into my car. Can't stand this feature...likely due to my driving style. I wish I could shut this off permanently like the lane departure.
