I don't know man. IF, they had plans for m2 comp with s55 when they make the m2 in 2016, then yes, for this particular model, it is inadequate. Switch to S55 engine is not an technical challenge they broke through, it is a marketing stratage.
We all heard nylon stocking companies purposefully made their products inadequate to ensure a steady increase on sales. Not trying to argue, Just saying, sometimes companies do make decisions seems make no sense, but profitable. Still, love to drive any given M2, can't wait for mine later this year. |

I'm happy with my 'old' M2. It's an early prod. car. There will probably be an 18-20k difference in price, old to new. That goes a long way in aftermarket parts. I never run out of brakes, I've changed the seats, which really helps when tossing the car around. I like the balance. The only reason I could see the S55 benefit is on some long straights on track. IMO.

I like the red starter button - although, given the launch color of LBB, having a blue one would be cool too (I think IND already did that).
Artemis: I am surprised BMW didn't change the M2 logo on the trunk boot, other than to make it black (like other ZCP models) - the difference here is that the M2C is a whole new model, not an upgraded one. I thought we'd see an extra C or something...

The S55 M2 replaces the N55 M2. Only one M2 for now. If BMW decides to add a limited edition M2 hardcore version as final curtain call for the F87 M2 in 2019/2020, they can still add something next to the "M2" badge. By the way, recently forum fellow beppeM3+123d came across this F87 M2 design (latest ASAP file downloaded from the aftersales portal BMW server): it features ///M mirrors and a bonnet suggesting a powerdome. Hm, what's cooking inside the ///M kitchen ? Compare with this aftermarket one:

^^^They're cooking a CSL, IF the Competition continues to sell as well as the original M2 did.

I think I saw a raised word written under M2 in one of the photos, might that be Competition...
