This is why I hate rumors. Everyone starts arguing about....rumors.

The official reveal couldn't come fast enough.

For sure it's not in the May magazine, so if this article is real some people have access to the June copy

So... maybe you don't really know how it works. Lol.

I was on the list for i8. I am already on the list for the next X5M. Well before they had been (officially) announced.

It's a deposit from me, and a letter from them. Seriously ... not that hard.... pick up the phone.

Or the other side of the coin is he simply likely isn't that serious. I'm sure the lease on his 5th bmw probably ends in 2019 sometime..

Damn! If the price increase is just 1.2% over the M2, the M2C will cannibalize M4 sales (M3 guys will likely still buy a M3 for the 4 doors) and will put a glut of used and almost brand new M2s back on the market.

Anyone interested in a 2018 M2 MGM 6MT with 350 miles on the odo

Evo is a small-circulation magazine, but I would think somebody here is a subscriber. It seems a little early for it to hit the mail, but it’s possible that someone at the printing plant or in the distribution system saw it. I can’t imagine the magazine would break the embargo, since BMW could cut them off from future news scoops and test cars - plus there's nothing on the website. I’m calling BS until I see the actual pages.

If it does, it's only temporary until the G8x come out. aka price increase.

It’ll be interesting to see how the G8x differentiates itself from the S55 motor based cars. When it comes to ///M cars, I feel it’s the engine that really brings differentiating character between generations. In the NA era it used to be big jumps - S52 -> S54 -> S65 -> S55. While the S55 is awesome, it’s an in-line 6 turbo with good power and easy tunability (just a flash nets you a lot more). If the G8x is also an inline-6 turbo (likely), it’ll be interesting to see how BMW ups the ante.

I just spec'd out that CF strut...came to over $3K...throwing in that, the S55 and the M4 seats...price seems very unrealistic.

The G8x M cars get the S58 engine, and I believe the rumors are 500+hp.

The M2 Competition is essentially an iPhone " S ". or SE type model. It gets the better power unit ( battery /cpu) in the old chassis.


None of these new parts were DESIGNED for
The M2 aside from whatever work it took to route the cooling system and route the exhaust.



Mirrors - per @scott26 - derived from Upcoming X3M

Seats - straight from M4

Upgrade Brakes - 5 series

New Colors - yeah.

Seat stripes - ha !

S55 motor - straight from M3/M4



Did I get all the list of changes ?
I agree.

The base MSRP change could be very small.
Remember BMW was half forced to go to the S55.

They could think of it like a M2 LCI 2 but since they had to go to a new engine,
why not capitalize on that change and separate it from the 1st gen and name it "Competition"?

This model strategy is different from say M4 vs M4CS.

Now if they do a M2CS or M2CSL, the pricing will be a whole other story.

Going to wait for official reveal.
Not bad being only 55kg heavier.
I wonder how much these optional brakes would cost and how they compare to say AP Racing offerings.

I am assuming you know how to take a picture with your phone. See attached screen shots of how you can upload them here.

I'm hoping that 55kg is with 437M wheels, and the optional 788M wheels are forged and lighter.

You won't be able to since the iPhone images will be too large and exceed the file attachment limits of the forum. You can however use a free service such as
View post on imgur.com
to upload the pics and then share here.

P.S. It's urgent you upload them right away before a full on forum brawl starts. k, thx
