I'm tired of waiting, Can't handle the anxiety anymore haha.
Almost bought the facelift RS3 sportback the other day (they have made the front end lighter, reviews indicate its more fun now and the 400hp motor is awesome. But its still no drivers car like an M) the discount I got here in Australia makes it possibly about $40,000 cheaper than what the CS might be. But I'm worried I will make the wrong decision when the Comp or CS comes out. So... I think I will lease a new Golf R on 3 yrs. Then at the 2 or 3 yr mark get the CS. Whats the expected production run on it 2018 - 2020? Maybe I could pick one up when all the hype dies down and get the last year run? |

I was at the dealership today to finalize the paperwork for my LCI, and happened to ask about the Competition Package with my sales associate.
He corroborated the information about new wheels, but couldn't confirm anything about new seats. In Canada, he says it's looking like it will be about $20,000 CAD more than the current base M2 price (he said it would be around $85K CAD). Something new he also shared was that the windshield HUD would be an option. |

The Golf R can be a very good compromise until you get a CS. Quote:

If we compare that info with what's indicated in leaked "M2 Competition" VIN build sheets (see here):
Same goes for the repeated claim that Mineral Grey (paint code B39) will also be available as color for the 'M2 Competition' (see recently for example here and here): if that info comes straight from BMW, then that claim should be considered to be accurate, of course. However, do know that none of the 'M2 Competition' test mules got the Mineral Grey body color - all known cars either got AW, BSM, LBB, Sunset O or HS body colors. Therefore also here the assumption that - until stated otherwise by BMW - Mineral Grey won't be available for the 'M2 Competition'. Hockenheim Silver is expected to be the 'M2 Competition' launch color. This begs more generally the question whether we can infer from 'M2 Competition' VIN build sheets how that car will be powered and equipped. IMHO, as its genuine information straight from the horse's mouth, it gives us at least a better idea than hard-to-verify rumors. As said before: alike hips, VINs don't lie.

Subsequently the 'speculation mill' will change direction towards the M2 CSL winds. Today's newspaper wraps tomorrow's fish.

FWIW, here's a post of February 2016. Outdated, maybe.

Isn't there a big car show in the first week of December? That's still autumn, correct?

So let's distinguish 'reveal' and 'car show presentation'. By the way, FWIW, last month there were also these two posts in this thread by forum fellow MR. hinting to Winter 2017-2018 for reveal (January/February 2018) and car show presentation (mentioning the Geneva International Motor Show = March 8-18, 2018): Quote:

I hope you are right and the M2 Competition will make its first public reveal during Geneva Motor Show, just because I'm living in the area.
But in fact, what you are saying about press release on late January/February and first deliveries during summer make sense to me. Hopefully, if this is accurate, it will be quite a good timing for me. Off-topic, last saturday I saw a Sunset Orange M140i at my dealership. It blew my mind. First time I saw one and it is definitely such an amazing color. I totally forget I was there at first to check on the M2. Can I post few pics of this M140i? Or maybe in the other M2 Competition thread? |

IMHO would be cool if BMW M posts some kind of prequel with M2 Competition test mules, alike the 1M test drives offered to Chris Harris back in 2010:

Wife and i just put down a deposit at our local bmw dealer. The latest information on price is that its going to be approximately 40-50% more than the base m2. Which puts it a few points more than base m3.

For now LA is all about BMW i, with the new i8 and i8 Roadster. They will also show the X2 there. Also showing the M3 could well be a bit too much, but I think they will not. The M2 also passed by the LA show two years ago, and I think BMW wants to fully focus on the new M5 which will have its first official debut in the US market at the LA show. I still believe the M2 Competition release is January/February and then Geneva official reveal. MR |
