Could the CS come with a tuned B58 and the LCI with the standard N55?

Makes economical sense.

That car is not rocking the S55, unless they changed the cooling design.

Yes and yes. But, the B58 is charge cooled so I don't think that engine is in that car.. It's interesting and exciting. B58 would be good to go too but it's quite new and relatively untested as opposed to N55 and S55. Only my thoughts though

Any ideas what they could be doing with the front bumper? Remove fangs or trim back ? Open up the area in front of intercooler?

BMW may eventually be interested to read what's sometimes posted about their test mules. Anyways, the BMW camo team are masters of disguise: easy-peasy to fit a 'dummy intercooler' box to fool the audience.

So, yes, this intercooler shaped object behind the front bumper can be just a plate or empty box.

If you look closely at the front passenger wheel (left side of the photo), the wheel color is black. The M2 CS prototype has silver wheels. I believe this is a photo of the M2 LCI and got mixed up with the M2 CS photos.

Just compare the photo right before the close up photo in the original post. Don't see an intercooler.

Also, the blue car in the video above is DEFINITELY a S55. Look into the grill through the kidney grills and you will notice the absence of a DCT cooler, but the car definitely has a DCT.

Oh wow, you are right.

This black car definitely has a S55 in it. They just confused one of the pictures.

Looking at the other pics of the black car, the DCT cooler has been moved from the N55 location to the spot where the intercooler traditionally is.

It's a S55 folks. 100% guaranteed.



Compare to my M2

For one, I am really tired of larger but low tech and heavy brakes coming on these cars. I just replaced my brakes with a smaller and lighter AP racing setup that will far outperform the boat anchors BMW ships.

Sweet, I'm looking at doing APs on a corvette project.

Nice seeing more pics confirming the M2 CS.I agree with some other posts,that the exhaust needs to be hidden better below the rear bumper,doesn't look very good in the pics.Looking forward to seeing what changes they are making to the front bumper.

Doesn't look like the fangs are gone. Notice the camo is slanted and there's a wedge at the ends followed by holes for the air curtain. Superimposed the M2 front bumper over the spy shot, the camo lines up with the fangs.

Looks like what might be a comp pack to me - I was expecting a wing of some sort.

I read the comment about winter tires, but I'll be damned if the rear wheels don't look like 20s, possibly rocking the same mixed set as the gts.
