Yeah I mean everyone here has read the spec sheet and marketing. I am under no delusion respecting the S55 setup--recognizing of course that the N55 isn't exactly the same model from the 235i. But there's tradeoffs with the S55 motor which you are obviously aware of coming from an M4. That anti-lag doesn't seem as potent as advertised particularly in the 2015 models. The N55 M2 has very little lag. It does have overboost delay which is something that took me a long time to figure out--but it is corrected with a tune. If you feel you need more than that and don't want to tune then it's a pretty easy answer, you go with the M2C. Personally I don't get it and think a tuned N55 is great for DD'ing but to each their own. Plenty of arguments in either direction though I do suspect you'd get a smoking deal on an LCI M2 vs M2C.

Drone part. Knowing that you do need your DP to keep up with the rest of your mod bolts on, I think there is no way around other than getting resonator back on which you dont have since you got your MPE installed from port. Sure you can find something with decent deal on Member Classified Forum. |

First, I'd like to thank everyone for their input and opinions...this is what I like about this forum...always a lot of great input.
The person that said I should talk to my accountant...I am an accountant, lol...and that's what was making this decision harder ...as on paper, I know that the switch doesn't make a lot of sense. I have decided to forgo the M2C and keep my LCI... and put a deposit down on an allocation for the next GT4. As for my M2, I will follow the advice of some here and make a few final mods...seat swap, custom tune (running OTS currently) and a BBK. To another member's point, I don't track a lot (just don't have time) and I only drive the car a few days a week and not in the winter...so it is the logical decision to keep it. It is a pretty nice ride the way I have it now...the drone is solved by turning up the tunes! Besides...it just looks (and sounds) so damn good... |

I think you made the right decision. I was in the same position as you. Have a MY18 and about half of the mods you have on your car including the suspension. Even if you have disposable income, jumping to the M2C and having a MY18 would have the biggest net lost IMO because the car is not even a year old. I won't rule of the possibility down the line but even if I am still interested, it will be a MY20. I'm excited for the M2C and would like to see some reviews on it. Until then, I will enjoy my current M2 and continue to mod it to my liking. I still love the car N55 and all. Still need to become a better driver and plan to use the M2 to do so.

Talk to me about this seat swap..... Also if the drone gets to you, you could always swap for an FI DP, or have someone weld in a resonator ahead of your muffler. Vibrant makes pieces that are designed to reduce drone. Since our systems are pretty basic, it's a quick weld at a muffler shop.
