Hey M2 folks,

I'm invited to a M2C preview event in Switzerland this Friday. Apparently it will be presented by a BMW race driver.
If you still might have any question or are interested in any special pics..let me know and I will see what I can do...don't know what will be allowed to do with the car yet...

Cheers,
Dan

I have a question, would you be so kind as to ask them when the f**king U.S. pricing guide will be released?

Thanks!

I’d also really love to learn more about the upgraded rear suspension, specifically the new ball joints in the rear. How do they improve performance and handling? If accessible would also like some pics of them.

If they would allow this (doubt it) could you please get some WOT video of the car in its different modes, comfort, sport and sport +?

Thanks

Thats probably also one of my biggest questions I have

Yeah, I will do whatever they let me do...really no informations yet what will be allowed

Guys/gals,

Is a 3600lb car able to feel like a light tossable car?

Any examples?

I am seriously considering it now also, although I keep thinking, I wanted a smaller car than the M3, but if it's lighter, does it matter?

Yes, had a E46 M3. The M4 feels twice as big, size not weight. Go drive both cars in some traffic, you will really feel the size difference.

I've been with Audi for a decade, and probably would stay with them if they hadn't moved away from MT in performance variants. So I am getting an M2... maybe a blessing in disguise - moving me into the BMW realm. And bonus, the M2 is faster, more agile, and much less expensive than my old RS4!

One more month til I have her...

Did you sell the RS4? I still have mine. I cant give up the N.A. V8 Manual. Its heavy and quattro, but it's so EZ on the eyes and ears and feels terrific!!! Will probably have the car 4ever.
Adding a M2 SOON, not sure if I want the Comp with its sad colors or a M2lci that I can dinan. GT3 coming fall of 2018!

Yeah, the M2 is "around" that weight. I hear its toss-able…(needs a bit more power IMO) If you had access to a group of like minded people on some sort of group chat on some internet website, I bet you could get some BIASED... I mean HONEST answers

I have driven a few M2's now. (I love em) Did a golf outing a few weeks back and crammed into a LBB M2, felt toss-able with me and 2 golf buddy passengers. It was a tight fit for the guy in back. We also had 2 sets of golf clubs in the trunk, also a tight fit. So that would be 3450+200+220+160+golf clubs. There will be some people here that say it is a sin to drive it ONE pound over weight, in fear it will lose its dynamics? I found the M2 to be playful even with that much weight. Still cornered well too.
I didn't take it to the track with 3 dudes and golf clubs, so I cannot answer to any time trials... but at 4000 lbs, I was able to steer with the backend whenever I wanted. Did a sweet drift just to show the owner of the car it could be done with 4000+lbs. Color him impressed.


Short answer: with the right amount of skill,determination, and right foot medicine almost any RWD can feel "toss-able"

Curb weight when ready and with driver 1733kg, as stated in the technical data sheet. 1650 without driver.

Couldn't agree more. I also had an e46 M3.

Went e36 to e46 to e92. I am digging the CS but it is def bigger, my buddy has one. So I M3/4, the CS variant is the one to pick. For the price the M2 is up there, no easy decision.

The new m340i coming out with 385hp is making me rethink how badly I want an m2c :/

Will be there as well!

As i understood they‘ll let us drive plenty of other M‘s, but probably not the M2 Competition. I was warned, no fotos allowed in the closed room where the M2C will be presented! :/

Albin Mächler (the race driver, www.albins.ch) will be on site and tell about his experience with the M2C

I just find it quite interesting that there are these M2C preview events in several countries (Canada, some EU countries) but not a single activity in the US, which is the most popular market for the M2 per FvM. Even the pricing guide isn't officially out yet and the US is supposedly expected to receive the initial slots in production.

Competition package cars are still street cars at heart. Wait for the CS if u want to see more performance focus or the CSL if you want a true track star
