So a dyno trumps what it feels behind the wheel, interesting. I personally feel the S55 revs more freely and I enjoy the higher redline. So I’ll repeat, I perfer the M2 size over the big M4. I also prefer the S55. I would pay BMW extra money for a smaller M4. But hey...what do you know, they damn well offered that. It’s ok, I still like the current M2. I’m not hurting anyone’s feelings...I hope.

https://www.bmwpartspros.com/partloc...catalogid=8798 I might just have to go this route. How much can some sell the standard M2 wheels for?

As a pre-LCI owner, my opinion is that this looks OK. As others have said, changes are subtle to non-fanbois.
I never understood the obsession with the M mirrors, but they do look good on this M2C now that I see them. Ambivalent about the new grill, it looks kind of forced (as some have said) but that may just be because I am used to the old grills. They will likely grow on me and look OK once I am used to them. Wheels are meh, but can easily be changed. S55... mixed feelings about this. I am really curious about the "weight-optimised twin turbo" statement. Does that mean they anticipated the tuners and scaled the turbos down to make it less tunable? Did they keep the air-liquid intercooler, or sacrifice that too? Would be a shame to have to suffer the S55 sound and lose the tunability... but maybe it has a smoother power curve if they really shrunk the turbos. I have never driven a twin turbo that was smooth though - they tend to kick you in the butt. I hope they do not price it too cheaply, due to selfish reasons that a <$60K tag will hurt my car; but am not really concerned as I am not selling anytime soon. The seats are the only thing I am really jealous of. Even in Dakota leather they look sweet. |

I think if you did spec out the upgrades it would amount to 10k+ but I’m thinking BMW would package that in and reduce it to a 5-7k markup instead |

I felt the M2 had smoother power delivery(mainly power down low), while the S55 felt more raw(keeps you on edge of your seat). Yes I feel the S55 revs more free and prefer the higher redline. I certainly do not feel the engines feel the same as you. To me they certainly have different characters.

Too many angles, I already wasn't a fan of the m2 but now I hate it...
