Fire orange is lovely. BMW has become very confused when it comes to red and orange. In the last decade, they seem dead-set on offering "in-betweeners" like Valencia, Sunset and Sakhir. A true orange (like Fire) and a true red (like Imola) would be quite refreshing.

A good point you made is the total being greater than the sum of parts. BMW chassis tune always captures a good balance between drivability and performance, which aftermarket can't touch. That is especially true with the F87, where the lesser models with static damper can't steal top dog chassis coding like with the F80/82.

I'm hope that they do a better job programming the adaptive suspension on M2 CS than they did with the M235. In many situations it just got it wrong.

That said, I am considering trading my beloved M2C for either the 718 Spyder or CS. Pricing of the CS will help make my decision.

Why can't they make that engine sound good. Basically the only one. Everything else sounds great

Not true. Much more goes into a factory CS than "slapping on some carbon and giving it a tune". Anyone that claims that about any number CS is only trying to convince themselves the car is not worth the cost (IMO). There are significant difference's between a comp and a CS. BMW engineers and pro drivers spent lot of time developing the M2 CS. That alone along with CS specific CFRP aero parts, wheels, interior and labor to install them costs BMW $$$$. Sooo...if you want a true CS your going to have to pony up. And it will be worth every penny when you drive it and stare at it in your garage with a beer in your hand .

If you'd have bought a M4 CS for £90k 12 months ago, you'd need a beer or something stronger to handle the £35k hit you'd taken while staring at it in the garage.
The M2 CS is likely to be a fantastic car but for me at £75k, I feel it's overpriced by £10-15k. I'd rather wait and pick one up further down the line when the hype has died off. When are journalists likely to get their hands on it? Quote:

Still now there are M4CSs in sewers for £60kish. Truely brave or die hard fans that pre orders an M2CS for RRP £75k UK if that's what it will cost.
