I believe he's making a derogatory comment about the M2Comp, but I might be wrong.
The OG M2 and M2C are great cars, not sure why each conversation must degrade into an endless and fruitless comparison of the two...they're obviously very, very similar machines.

I am still surprised the Comp only got an 8% price increase. |

Then BMW decided to throw in an extra 40HP/40TQ from an actual M designed engine. And for shits and giggles, they even refreshed the styling yet again like a LCI to the LCI, making it look like the brand new generation of BMWs and thus keeping it looking newer that much longer. All for just $5,000. I don't think BMW will do something so drastic to a car ever again for so little, M2C owners are truly lucky. |

Feel free to thank the EU: though the M2C is more quiet and sings a different song than the OG M2 because of tightened EU emissions regulations, the M2C was priced not as expensive as most expected for the invasive automotive surgery (especially the N55 engine to S55 engine swap with 40hp power bump).
From a Spring 2018 DriveTribe interview by forum fellow MR. with former BMW M boss Frank van Meel (source: here):

They bought a Comp version, the CS version has not yet been released. I'm betting most Comp owners would rather have the Comp now than wait for the CS and pay the premium for it.

The demand and interest instantly dropped and so did its value. They even had a GTS and Competition version of the E92 M3, that is not really even spoke off today. It's just when the new model is released, by design, it overshadows its predecessor. So I can see this happening to the M2 CS, depending how well the next generation G series M2 is received and spec-ed. |

At MSRP value, the cost difference is $1556 for the Li battery versus $245 for the AGM battery giving $1311 more for the Li, so the Li is 6.4 times more expensive. One would assume that the actual car MSRP would not inflate as much as replacement cost difference, but they (bean counters) likely have a mostly fixed ratio of manufacturing cost to MSRP change. In any event, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Li battery add roughly $800 to the MSRP alone. Hence for 30lbs savings, it's probably going to be viewed as a definite. F8x owners are sometimes shocked when dealers quote them ~$2000 for a battery replacement (typical dealer markup on part above MSRP then add labor, supplies and tax).

Hi guys
I have been waiting for sometime for the cs and the more days pass, the more i think about what will be diferent and worth it over the competition. At the end of the day itīs the same car with diferent seats a bit more power and wheels. So will it be more nimble? much faster? Somedays think about going to my SA and buy the m2c that itīs there sitting and save a few €. When the CS hit the market, so does the gt4 and the new M3 on the horizon, what seems to be a easy choice... itīs not anymore. Itīs all down to the price, if itīs near the gt4.. donīt know if people still want...i still donīt know. Best regards |

I also wonder if they will phase out Long Beach Blue and Sunset Orange when the CS hits for the new Misano Blue? |
