I saw that too but decided not to panick since many have already been made with 6MT... And by standard do they mean I can take a few K off for the Manual...

I used the European 0-62 number from the BMW UK site to be fair. Comparing factory stock to factory stock is the only way to get an honest and fair comparison. Maybe the new emissions controls will have a greater effect on performance than everyone hoped. And for the record, I don’t care about the potential numbers from modded cars, because all it takes is money to make one car faster than another.

As for #5, you would think that with a 50% take rate that we'll get the manual yet still completely absent from the press release. However that's the nature of leaks and I'm sure there's some missing information particularly for the US market. I'm going to need some serious popcorn if they decide to axe the manual for the M2. It makes almost no sense given the platform.

Someone has indicated the press release is for Australia. That would be a horrible decision for the US market if this version is DCT only. All I know is no 6MT, no care. Plus the wheels are ugly. |

Another new exciting M and I cannot wait M2 vs M2 C press reviews, for sure some good reading beside Worldcup this summer!
Having said that, I am still discovering the potential of my "old" 2018 M2, not planning to hit track races with it, and its so far pretty amazing. The M2 C first deliveries will probably not happen before end 2019/2020, with tariffs close to more powerfull M3/M4, so I wonder now what will be the after M2 C version. |

I agree with the other poster on this being a genuine M car compared to the standard M2. Even BMW is stating as such in the PR when it claims that this is a genuine M automobile.
This combined with the fact that BMW doesn’t include the N55 M2 in the M package on their recently launched subscription program proves it to me. I’m willing to bet they will include the S55 M2 in the M package though. It makes up for everything that was lacking in the N55 M2; Upgraded engine (biggest point imo), upgraded interior, a bit more aggressive styling (grill, bumpers, mirror). |

I was worried this upgrade would overshadow the current M2 substantially. I am not worried any longer. The style updates are forced and don't quite work.

As a current M2 owner.... This made my day! Last edited by gregzimm; 04-08-2018 at 04:04 PM.. |
