Nice!! Will have to chase my dealer tomorrow, I assume / hope mine is in the same boat as well considering it's been sitting at the port since the 21/7

I suspect it’s a 3 way race now for the first M2C on Australian soil.
Apparently they land 19/9 with 10 days for the painters and dockers to do their thing.

That triggered a flashback. Die Yuppie Die. Let’s see if anyone remembers the 80s.

Davil, showing your age there hopefully you bought a DCT just in case

[WAY]

Anyone else who already has a M2 feel like maybe they should wait to see what the M2 CS will entail? I like the idea of the CS, but pricing may be silly based on M4 CS pricing.

At this point I'm happy with my M2 LCI.... will move to either the M2C &/or M2 CS if pricing matches benefits. Problem is the current M2 is such a fun car.

I am probably biased because I have already ordered an M2C, but based on the Aus pricing of the M4 CS and our ridiculous LCT I wouldn't wait unless you are whiling to pay ~$130-140k for an M2

Haha. Yes, I got DCT. I have another (older) car with a manual for that retro old timer Sunday drive experience that manual brings.

There are a couple of reviews that points to the M2C being less fun in a way because of the on and off nature of the S55. We as F80 owners know this compared to the smooth delivery on our M2. So I hear ya! But for the right price I will get the M2C.

If it comes with carbon roof and some of the other carbon parts, I’m willing to do it for $130.

[MR RIZK]

I reckon the 130-140 as above would be the target price and would need the carbon roof, hood,fenders, brakes, suspension and different wheels for me to be interested. While we are at it water injection

For me it would need to be more of a CSL than CS to be worthwhile.

Isn't the CS speculation US only at the moment?

Yeah would appear that it is a CSL that we are getting. Would also mean $160k I reckon. But CSL is very special. Depending on the spec I could get one as a keeper.

Yea my mate who works at BMW said M2 CS/CSL is already on the list for 2020 as a last hurrah for the M2.

I would also expect it to be very expensive.. with all the lightweight stuff they put in it, it's borderline going to be too extreme... and it might turn out to be pretty average like the M4CS. Think M2CS for $140-150k+ there are much better options out there.

Aside from the M2C I can’t really think of a real credible alternative. Not M3/4, at least not for me. M2 to me is the better drivers car, and I own both.

I mean a more expensive future version of M2CS/CSL... when you get to the 140-150k+ mark... id be leaning towards a Porsche Cayman/Boxster S for pure driving experience

I'd also lean towards paying a little more for RS5/c63 or wait till 2021 for new M3, which you might lose that pure driving experience but they're a lot more car than a $140-150k+ M2

Yeah yeah I was talking about the more expensive CS/CSL too. I’m saying M2C May make them look poor value, but aside from that I’m not really interested in other cars in the range. I’ve had more than half a dozen of Boxsters and Caymans including the GT4 and Spyder, but the 718 leaves me cold. Maybe the new Spyder will have a 6 cyl again. We will see. I already have a C63S but let me tell you that the M2 is a much better driver’s car. But I can see why people like the C63 as their daily car. It makes some nice noises and is a bit wild.

Wait.... you have an M4, C63S and an M2 all in your garage

Cayman has no back seats and a crap engine.
Driving any Audi has the same enjoyment as having sex wearing 5 condoms.
There’s only one Merc worth contemplating and that’s the AMG GT which is wonderful. But then you are in Aston Martin territory.

The only other car I would consider at this price point is the Alfa Gulia Quadrafoglio. But that’s a bit too scary an ownership proposition.

M2C is an absolute bargain and the best thing BMW has done since the 80s. That’s why I bought one before they were on sale. Here’s my money.

AMG GT is best bought used. They don’t hold their value well at all! Alfa...yeah I would love to try one but like you not to own one. I think it will drive me nuts. Audi - I had a RS3 recently. It was fun for awhile with that noise and the speed off the line, but geez you get bored with the one dimensional driving experience real quick! But having said that I won’t count a RS4 out as a potential family lugger one day perhaps out of necessity as the kids grow up. Their mum already has a slightly slower version of it and they are wonderful family cars. If I can only choose one car that can do it all? M2/M2C. If I didn’t have young kids? A Carrera T.

Or don’t have kids at all, that’s me, I’m in lol

[WAY]

Well you have kids. They just all have their own junior M and RS themselves lol. And yes, that’s why you’re getting the Carrera T and I’m not!

Hey Way, what did you think about the Spyder (latest version)? I almost bought one, still thinking about it.
