My F80 has it too...slightly smaller, but still pretty big for a exhaust can.
Even the E92 M3 had a pretty large udder, but not as big as the F80's. Have you seen the new Joe Achilles video, where he puts an aftermarket exhaust on his M2C? The really strange thing for me to come out of that video is the large amount of empty space above the stock muffler...so why does the damn thing hang down so low?

Those are further up the exhaust line, towards the engine - the can size doesn’t seem to be related to the OPFs.

By the way, for RDE test results released in the meantime by BMW about the M2 Competition: see here (in the "PEMS Test Search" section, select "BMW" and "M2Competition", click "Search" and subsequently click "Download XLSM" to download an XLSM file with BMW data).

Now I can't unsee that now The only saving grace is that I don't believe that "Uttergate" will be an issue with the next generation M2 (G), simply because I have a sneaking suspicion that it will come equipped with a stout B58. So there's that.. |

If you're right will the M2C become worthless like the OG has?

I wouldn't necessary say that the M2 is 'worthless' but the S55 does have more power potential, cooling and fuel delivery system. To be honest, the M2 N55 does have enough power to take the vehicle to dangerous and scary levels of speed, without any hesitation. I honestly have never stepped on it and felt like I need more power but I guess if you're dogging it on a track, you might meet the motor's limitations, as some have claim. I don't believe the new M2 will be needing anything more than the B58, which everyone have been raving about since its inception. Especially if a B58 M2 would keep the price in a somewhat realm of affordability (under 60k). So no, absurd HP/TQ bragging rights aside, it won't be worthless with a built B58, IMO. |

But it would be a built B58, not the run of mill version currently in the 240/Z4. I'm sure it would be able to stand on it's own as a 'M motor.' I just can't see them using the new S58 plus its related hardware and yet still keeping the price in check. |

Why is all this so surprising. Same formula as M3 CS. But with a manual.

Yep. Should be one hell of a car if the M3CS is any indication.

Maybe it’s just because it is a mule and using different parts that aren’t representative of the production model. |
