An S55 M2 CSL sounds incredibly exciting and I would be willing to spend more on that than I would an M3/M4. That said the way you save this from eating into M3/M4 sales it by pricing it higher than it needs to be priced and making it in limited numbers. That is what I would expect. And sorry to the folks wanting this engine in the base M2, I thought it was a possibility at one time but have since given up hope.
I also just saw an M2 for the first time at the track yesterday, was LBB, stunning car and much better looking in person than I expected. It also has a bigger presence in person than I imagined from looking at pictures, very akin in size to the e46 m3. Anyway, great to hear this is a possibility and if this is coming in M2 CSL variety, take my money now!

Why not stick with the M2 and then get this CS when it's available? I believe it's a pretty safe bet that you'll lose less money selling the M2 than a M140i in a year or 2. May have to pay a bit more up front but you'll make it back on the back end.

Yes, hype, but this is also free market research for Munich.

S55 squeezed into the base M2 engine compartment and the test mule doesn't feature a power dome to host it all.
So, if the final version of this angry M2 puppy gets a power dome à la M3 and M4, we know that it's just for show.

M2CS @The Ring with new setup ?
I know its in a hard down force corner but the suspensions looks lower to me than standard !
Testing new race setup ? or just upgraded for CS ?? Adaptive M Suspension ??? option ? Looks like more money to me ! That is why it has camo on the lower half! Last edited by Euromeister; 09-26-2016 at 11:04 AM.. |

Ha, ha! Typically the more camo on the car the more money it will cost

I feel like waiting for the right BMW to buy is like waiting for a Latin woman to admit she's wrong, you'll die long before you see either and there's typically a better model every year.
Oh what, you just bought an M2? Brah! The M2 (insert whatever) is coming and it's going to wipe the floor with your less than year old M2, but it's okay, BMW does this all the time.

Judging ride height by a shot taken mid-Karussell would be a mistake I wouldn't be surprised if it were lower, but they're taking the Karussell at full pace there, so you're looking at the lower limit of the suspension travel. It's not unusual to hit the bump stops there.

Most likely the M coilovers if it is indeed lower!

If we think it will be $10k, you know it will be at least $15k! Then the m2 becomes a $75k car. I'm having another thought. Then the 2016-2017 still remains a bit of a collector for what it does at the cost. Either that or the price drops like hell because no one wants one. If they boost the m4 to $90k, I don't see who will want that either. Tough call.

Shouldn't come as a surprise if it's an S55 underhood. There's precedent for M models to get an engine swap mid-life (E36, Z3 M...), and many of us assumed this would happen even before the M2 was initially released. Bring it on
