#1 in line for CS but....any thoughts?
I am currently #1 in line for CS at two local dealerships. 1/26/18 CS at MSRP at one dealership and 4/24/18 CS at MSRP at another dealer.
We will see if these documents hold water or not. I will not hold my breath. Fact remains, if the price is too high, I will walk away. As I have said in other posts, $82K or higher and I will jump to a GT4(I also have a deposit and a name on a list for that) Now, if they miraculously bring back Mineral Grey, I would be tempted to pay a price for the M2... but that isn't going to happen. Either way, I am passing on the M2C. My SA has a H.Silver manual in stock and I can't do it. Lack of desirable paint options, lackluster wheels, and that sound... I have driven both the OG and the COMP so I understand and recognize the difference but from what I felt, in my minimal time in both, was that the extra power was nice, not needed, but nice. The suspension felt smoother and tighter at the same time... if that is possible, but I DID NOT LIKE THE SOUND at all. I actually felt embarrassed at a stop light or two . I had a car in the past that I can now look back at and say "yes i bought the wrong exhaust" I did not like that feeling. To me, sound is very important. The CS will probably still have the subpar sound but if the car is special enough, it could be overlooked. I was toying with another idea as well... If the CS costs too much(opinion), I may try to pick up a mineral grey LCI. The sound and color alone is ALMOST enough to over look the S55 and other subtle upgrades. I would undoubtedly tune and upgrade turbos/exhaust/wheels and would undergo some weight cutting measures. I WANT the CS wheels, the M2 COMP wheels certainly underwhelm! Both the CS and GT4 are only alive in rumors so there is much time to contemplate. Luckily I am in no real hurry. In the meantime I will do more research on Dinan and other tuners just in case! Happy trails and fishtails!! p.s. I don't mean to hate on anyone's else's opinions... this is my first BMW purchase so I don't have any preconceived notion of OG vs COMP bias. I have been a long time outsider looking in and i truly appreciate reading what everyone else has to say. I spend a lot of time reading your posts. Thanks for keeping this community on the up and up. Stay classy!

I'm sure it will be a great car.
I decided to build my own CS and put the $ where it counts. My estimate is it cost me approx $40k beyond the M2 price. |

I’ve considered the CS, mostly due to all the carbon bits. But I am looking at upgrading my gt4 to a 991.2 gt3 instead.
If this is just your weekend/track car and you don’t need back seats, try to get your hands on the gt4. There’s a lot of hype around the 718 so factor in ADM to the purchase but I believe it will be an amazing car. I love my 981, just wish it was faster. The new version will have a nice power bump, if they also fix the long gearing it will be the best sports car for the money out there. |

This seems to be the case with my experience as well. You basically have to be an existing client of a GT to get a new GT. They cycle through the list of existing clients first with their limited allocations. Then basically not a whole lot left for the non-clients. The M cars allocations appear to be less exclusive.

I am #2 on a list where I bought my current M2C. Like others, price will determine if I use my right of refusal. We all pretty much know what the CS will have: carbon roof, 450+/-HP, 763 wheels, suspension tweaks, hopefully a few more light weight goodies, etc. It'll be a very hot car for sure, but will it be worth the cost of admission.
I am also on a Porsche Spyder list ~ with the detuned GT3 engine. Again, final price will determine if I'm in. However, I admit I am willing to pay up to $30k more for the CS over the Spyder. All said, I am content with my M2C. If I keep this car, I will likely go the next step and add BMW coil-overs, exhaust and a carbon diffuser.
