Question, anybody know the exact color or color code for those red brake calipers? I would like to do it to my F80.

Damn, that doesn't bode well for my OCD..

I believe the roof on the CS is 4x4.

Mine either, and that's why I don't have any extra CF in the interior (...e.g., I sold the CF trim to my alcantara steering wheel and had my matte/dry carbon shift knob, another pet peeve, wrapped in alcantara by IND.). Now that I think about it, I should've had IND fully wrap the e-brake in alcantara too. The only reason I have the trunk spoiler is because my buddy at the dealer hooked it up and had it installed prior to me picking up my car. I wouldn't have opted for it otherwise.

Sweet! Luv the symmetry of M tri-stitching and Alcantara but those vulnerable, white leather seats gives me the chills.

You mush have no passengers..

No passengers and OCD beyond belief. Lol! I've never had a rear seat passenger in my current ///M4, and only once did I have one in my previous ///M4. Front passengers are limited (...usually some chick(s) who is/are read the rules and checked for pocket rivets. Lol!).

WHY do they still have a base 2 series as the graphics for all the idrive displays? Youre paying over 75k for a limited edition M car and they show you a 25k used base 228i non m sport smh

Just re-read the product sheet attached on the first page. I for one I'm glad the alcantra steering wheel is optional. I can't stand how alcantra wears, especially as a DD. Leather wrapped all the way for me

I was thinking the same thing - I test drove an Audi TTRS and didn't like the Alcantara wheel at all. Felt like an old bath towel or something.

Do we know when dealers will officially find out about their allocations?

The stitching is "Fire Red" - perhaps that's the same?

In the event I can't swing the CS, I would likely do an M2C and would definitely be painting the silver calipers red....

Only the E46 M3 CSL has/had matching components in 1x1 twill.....from the roof to the interior door panels/center console/front splitters/engine components/etc.

Why would they do that in the M2CS, in terms of the roof being a different weave? Seems like a dumb oversight...

Strength. M2CS roof is a different design. Not just lightweight, but adds structural rigidity to the vehicle. 4x4 weave is stronger than 2x2 or 1x1.

Make no mistake, this version is going "feel" different than the base and C.

You Know i had never noticed that before hahaha, the size of the "squares" is almost the same, but the pattern is straight on the roof and diagonal on the gurney flap.

But the difference is much more noticeable on the m2cs because the size of the "squares" is much larger as you can see by the pics. I hope they change this on the M2CS because it does look strange to me.

We are fairly certain that it is without the CCB.

It is with... The car that was tested by Sport Auto had the CCB's installed.

And isn't it 1588 or something along those lines, not 1550.

Ah, carbon fiber. Today's chrome.

OP was referring to the official (DIN) weight announced by BMW, not the weight measured by a magazine... BMW official weight is for the base car configuration, i.e without CCB

The same reason they've always done it ever since the CSL?!?! <shrug> It doesn't make sense to me either.

However, BMW stated for M3/4 the adaptive suspension (aluminum) actually saves weight, for the marketing material. Though we know BMW document makes mistakes all the time. Most ridiculous and recent ones being the M2 N55 having a closed deck, and 1M has a "high performance V8" says its user manual.

Now that they show the CS with the same weight as competition despite of new hood/roof/console/wheel, which combined is a 50lbs hard saving, period. All make me believe the adaptive suspension really adds all the weight back.

The adaptive suspension doesn't add anywhere near 50lbs. The base M3/M4 dampers are also aluminum, which I believe is the case with the M2 as well. The weight savings claim is relative to the steel dampers on the non-M cars. So the main difference is in the adaptive valve itself inside the damper, which may add 100-200g each corner. The sensors might add another 50g per corner. Then you have the ECU, which might weigh 2kg max, then maybe 3-4kg of additional wiring going to the top of the dampers and to the sensors.

So using these conservative estimates, adaptive suspension adds 5-7kg (10-15lbs) to the car compared to the M2C.

1550kg is DIN weight. Actual curb weight figure is 1625kg. DIN is always 75kg less the EU curb weight because it doesn't include ballast for driver/luggage.

Anyways the figures from the CS spec sheet are the same weights for the M2 Comp.
