I like the idea, i hate the execution
This car COULD'VE been: - stripped out, lightweight version of f87 chassis - tuned 450hp/450lb-ft with track mode - 255/275 tires standard etc Instead, it seems like it is basically a M2C with: - CF roof - power dome, and some MP goodies - bump in HP/Lb-ft, but without a huge performance gain (according to numbers posted, 0-60, etc) The only thing I REALLY like about this car is the seats:

BEAUTIFUL!! Needs a little drop. I'd swap out the adaptive dampers for some Ohlins R&T and ditch the eLSD for a mechanical LSD and call it a day.

Whatever happened to BMW wanting be more profitable while still catering to the fan/enthusiast community? When they started making all these SUVs/SAVs people rationalized it was because they needed bigger profit margins! But don't worry the core models they said! , the good old M models will still be there for us. Especially the niche models like the M2? What happened to that? I do not see any of that BIG profit making it down to the core models. Now here we are, the M model that caters to all the hardcore fans. Made into another ///Marketing exercise. Please someone look me in the eyes and tell me straight up: "This is car is worth every penny of a 100k". Someone please do it because I cannot see it, no matter how hard I try. IDK maybe I'm missing something, but this car caters to no one except BMW's ego. |

I like the MB more than I thought but those red calipers and gold wheels DO NOT go with the paint at all. I'd probably go BSM or HS with black wheels to tone down some of the flashiness... like others have said, a lot of it isn't new (the sub-frame bolted directly to the chassis for instance) but I'm glad they finally added a CF roof and better [Merino] leather (the two options from my previous E92/F80 I miss the most). Honestly not feeling the CS spoiler as much as I was thinking I would (I love it on the M3 CS).
Other than that, I don't think it'll be worth the asking price. For anything >$75k I'm going G80 M3. I know, they aren't direct competitors but for my use-case, that's where my money would go.

High gloss black wheel standard. Matte gold wheel optional. The way they describe it looks like they know the gloss/matte difference.
But, isn't the 763m black matte? Or is the gloss black here specially for the M2 CS like the grey for the M4 CS?

The blue looks good in these photos.
Love the car, really wish I had a chance to get one but I know I won't. Still hate the gold wheels.

I think the red is meant to tie in with the red stitch on the interior. Really not a fan of the red stitch in the interior. At least the brake calipers can be resprayed in any color.

Still not going to bite. Standard CF roof is cool, but as someone else already pointed out, this is what the original M2 should have been to begin with. It doesn't feel right that it's now a very limited production car with an inflated price tag and the idiotic, redundant "Competition Sport" moniker. Also, the seats don't even have shoulder harness pass-throughs for using a Schroth Quick Fit harness on the track. That's a slap in the face if you ask me considering the car is supposed to be track-oriented! Maybe next time, BMW.

One nitpick for me is the alcantara steering wheel. I wish it would have been optional. It's going to wear so quickly and become gross in a matter of months with daily use.
Hopefully it can be replaced with the standard leather wheel at a reasonable price.

I was hoping it would be optional to retain the heated wheel.... . It seems like m2 comp is the sweet spot. It will will depend on the price. ....... |

San Marino Blue all day! Disappointed in the launch color in the M2 CS. LBB is way better than Misano Blue.
