Yes indeed you are correct!

"Overboost function boosts torque by +26 lb-ft to 369 lb-ft between 1450 - 4750 RPM"

How much is an automatic x drive vert going to weigh?

Probably but I can't take that big of a hit on the M2 right now. If I don't keep it, I'll list it later this year.

Maybe you just expected the M2 to be something it's not meant to be?

Literally could not be happier with mine. This 240i talk has no effect on me.

Not exactly the case. But when BMW announces a supposedly inferior car that can be tuned to surpass the M2 when they've barely released any, that irks me immensely. Yes, I guess one can argue stock vs stock opposed to killing your warranty.

Ya, I see it but that doesn't discredit the idea the M2 should have gotten a better turbo. M240 gets a completely new powerplant, M3/4 get their own developed engine/ turbos. The M2s component's R&D were mostly accounted for in the M3/4 and BMW couldn't even develop a new turbo for the M2? Tuners are finding that the turbo is near its limits and that should not be the case. It worked in the 1M because the N54 with its twins were over developed. That's not to say the M2 isn't a great car, but it definitely could have been better. I am still a potential buyer, but will most likely wait to see what the M2 CS has to offer.

6mt or dct? You'll be able to at the minimum get what you paid and eat the tax. Also if you're planning on a 991.1 the price will be dropping in the short term. Lastly they will always make cars that will out preform if your looking for more wait until dinnan gets there stuff out the #s will be insane compared to the price jump into the Porsche. Dinnan is warranty ed as well

My advice would be to drive the car and enjoy it.You just finished breaking the car in and now you can push the car to the limit.The M240i isn't going handle like the M2.There are plenty of cars that have more torque than an M2.Just drive the car fast and have some fun.

I'm not ignorant to the fact that there will always be new cars that are faster, better but damn, people haven't even taken delivery of their M2s.

Mine is DCT. Sales tax is almost 9% and I got the car wrapped. So yeah, not exactly in a rush to give someone a good deal.

Well, if you're gonna mod the M240i why not throw a pure turbo on the M2?


Anyway, most people in the M240i thread are loving the auto x drive vert. Two totally different cars...one is a low revving high torque stump pulling 4000#(vert) with sub par handling. The other is a high revving, high HP(same tq), wide bodied scalpel that carves it's way through the twisties! They both have their buyers, I know which this fanboy prefers.

Well of course the "total" package is the M2. It's just annoying news.

Oh I'm sorry. Didn't know you couldn't take a joke.

I'm excited for this thread to watch everyone freak out

[chmura]

Everyone pull off your name from the M2 waiting lists!

No hard feelings, was just not very obvious

It's all good. I'm #23 on a list as well just in case the CS/CSL does not materialize.

If the car had a larger turbo, then I think this would have alleviated virtually any concerns of the car... Personally, I was thoroughly impressed by the m2 until I saw one in real life... the car has very little presence to me and honestly didnt look that much different from an m235i minus wider rear fenders... then combine that w the n55 and the fact that an m240i is now coming out... bmw is really screwing up the marketing of its cars and overall model layout...
