I was under the impression you could and that the process for the 2 was the same as for the other BMW cars with this 'feature'.

They DID give out "proprietary" (if you can call it that, it's only temporary until the first one is sold) information relating to all of the other changes with the motor.

So why did they chose to exclude only the turbo?

So it's OK for them to point out the new block, crank, pistons, etc. but not the turbo?

Again, the "BMW doesn't like giving out info" argument doesn't work, because they gave out everything else!

The N54 isn't a good example...because with a tune, those turbos CAN hold power farther into the rev range.

That being said, the standard N55 can't. Which I think is darn good evidence of a bigger turbo...so in the end, I agree with you.

Still makes no sense that they'd withhold that information, since they're clearly so concerned with people thinking this is just a regular N55.

And simply because it's "BMW M" doesn't mean much either. The 1M (which is the car most comparable to this one) got a plain-Jane N54. No new anything sans a tune.

BMW doesn't like giving out info

Because it's BMW M.

Those arguments mean a lot !

We need to figure out how the temperature gauge is working for the M2! Tried it on every F chassis car I have and it's static.

Just want to know WHY at the launch, BMW DROP the 0-60
To 4,1 for DCT and now its back at 4,3? Not that's something important, but i'm a tad curious! Anyone?....because in january they release a post with better 0-60 numbers,... Perhaps i'm wrong too!

Please, no whining about the M2 being too loud for DDing.

Drove the MX40i and the exhaust sounds meaty and deep. The car handles very nicely. No lean or roll, and none of that tin can sounding blasphemy. I was very surprised.

Wait Wait Wait...whats up with the wheels? Thought the M2 came with the same forged wheels the F8x has?

1/ wheels in the tyre section are quoted as being cast.
2/ 0-60 has shot up from a quoted 4.1 sec (for Auto) to 4.4 sec.
3/ No mention of engine having a closed deck design
4/ Already been noticed,but 8000rpm display ?

Was surprised to see this as well.

I doubt they are a new cast wheel. BMW would not save money making a cast wheel for such a small qty IMO. Just a lot of errors in this document.

Anyone know if they are the same offset as the M3/4 wheels?
