There were countless posts prior to the M2C release, many saying they would be $10k just for the S55 motor. We got the seats, LEDs, improved suspension and steering, and the list goes on. With $10k depreciation on the M2 anyway, the trade up was entirely worthwhile. Not sure how you could've gotten an OG manual...the engines are different! The brakes are different! I'm just not into the dry carbon. Take a look at every Porsche, McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, all have gloss carbon trim. Gloss is much easier to care for, wipe it with a damp cloth. Just takes the interior up a notch. Agreed, not a cheap upgrade for some wrapped factory parts though. |

I went from an E46 ZHP with a 16 gallon tank to the (slightly) more fuel efficient M240i and have to say that having to stop for petrol much more often is my biggest gripe. |

Yes, I opted for the extended range tank; 23.7 gallons!

I agree with the comment about the tank. It's one of the criticisms I have with the car. It should have been at least a ~16 gallon tank.
As far as programming the buttons, I can't seem program the hp and torque gauge view, not a big deal, don't really understand the purpose of it, fun to look at i guess. |

Yes, just a gimmick. It's pretty simple. Go to the performance displays. Once the display is illuminated red, just hold down a programming button until it beeps. That easy. |

Does anyone think a larger tank could be retrofitted to the M2C? When you think of all the fuel tanks that have been created, there has to be one tank out there in automobile land that could be swapped in, provided that there is adequate room. Would a smaller muffler from a custom exhaust free-up some room for a larger tank?
The guy in the video above says he's looking for gas after 150 miles of aggressive driving, that much refueling would get old quick? |

I find sometimes I need to go to the previous menu, highlight the option I want, and then save it to a button. Then when I hit the button it goes to the display I want.

Exactly. The basic rule is you can save anything that is highlighted in red. That would also include anybodies phone number, a station or any other feature - I suppose even a location in the nav.

150 miles on a tank... watching you drive, I conclude that it's you. I easily get 250 miles on my commute route.
Not judging, just pointing out that you're having too much fun in your commute. |

Haha, well, I was juicing it a bit for the video - no point filming with the car in efficiency under 3k rpm! I also rarely drive in automatic. 250 miles on the tank, that's pretty mellow driving.

During the week, I allow myself the luxury of driving in Sport+ (because the Comfort mode sucks). I leave the spirited drive for the weekend, when I go fill up for the next week. |
