Real motion photography is being shot less and less as there are so many variables to manage in a manual, real world shoot. Most photographers would rather sit in comfort of their studio and alter a photo of a car parked on the road....

I think even a price tag of 80k ish would be justifiable seeing as the Audi RS3 is just short of 70k and this thing would drag an RS3 on the track no doubt. Just my 2 cents

I can’t believe that this will cost 100k USD...I am hoping that’s not where it ends up.

The S55 sounds it’s best when warm - and worst when cold. This is how my F80 sounds too.

One thing to keep in mind..M2CS basically has the Exec pkg included as opposed to a $1,500 option on any M2C. So for any comparison, it doesn’t make sense to show M2C base price under $60K. It’s not, as nobody in their right mind buys without the Exec pkg.

don't get me wrong- i really like it, but its a tune, cosmetics package, and marginal weight reduction (probably about 150lbs max).

I'm sorry... I still can't believe the love for this car. Are people on this thread for real?
I get we are a BMW forum. I get that. But 100k for a riced up M2C? There is literally nothing impressive about this car - at least nothing NEW that's impressive. The hood looks average. There are better aftermarket hoods out there. The wheels are OK. Soooo many better aftermarket wheels on everyone's M2's on this very forum. The red brake calipers look ridiculous. The misano blue looks girly. The front lip is nothing special whatsoever. It's a tuned S55. Wow. Loads of dudes making way more power on here. It's an S55. So it sounds like crap. It's got lots of alcantara. Wow, how innovative. It's rear spoiler looks shit. Just doesn't work. Literally the ONE interesting detail on this car is the new carbon roof. That's cool. But again. 100K FOR A SOUPED UP M2C. I have felt for months this would be a letdown and it sure enough is. An M2 CSL... now THAT would be worth salivating over. Something legit track focused. Not this. The reality is nothing will ever wow us like the OG. It is and will remain, the revered M2 in decades to come. Pure, classy and sonorous... N55 and all. Not this bedazzled end-of-life last ditch attempt at money grabbing by BMW. Anyone who buys this is an imbecile. The CS to buy is the M3. At least they offered a manual. That's the only credit I'll give BMW here. |

911 price without 911 looks or cachet

Then I saw the price. This will sit in showrooms like M3 CS's I've seen in Bay Area dealerships. |

On the other hand, it's not just cosmetics: I'm reasonably certain that the vented hood is functional, as are the front lip and rear Spoiler. Do they produce downforce? Probably not, just eliminate the lift is my guess. And it's nice to have a tune with factory warranty. $85k-$90k is a lot of money to pay for the M2CS though, in a world where the 718 GT4 is $100k. Pricing is key, and if these will be sitting on dealer lots this time next year, I might pick one up for a nice $10-15k discount... Does anyone know if Euro Delivery will be available for these?

The official video sounds better, might be the mic being used, but yes it does sound like crap in this video, could also be because it's comfort mode and already warmed up, and they weren't revving all the way.
