Great improvements over the current M2!
S55 engine, M mirrors, M seats, new start button, new wheels and the new front bumper. Love every single update BMW has made. I will be ordering one for sure if BMW changed the auto rev-match setting. I want to be able to toggle the rev-matching without having to turn off the stability control. |

The bumper slats are wider than I thought. nice place for road debris to sit.
I have the same issue with M4 seats though I love they way they look in the M4. Cannot say the same for the M2 with its multiple fabrics and those inserts. Probably would look better with the orange inserts. That start button looks tacky as hell too. Not a fan of badgepocalypse either. And what to say about that grille.. yikes. Won't be upgrading that's for sure. Maybe next model. S55 fanboys should give up.. it sounds like crap. objectively. Let us civic owners have that at least.

I feel the same way about the M3 seats. They look great but not for me.
I do envy those M3 mirrors. and that's all I feel I'm missing out on my civic. no thanks to 120+Lbs extra weight up front, new grill, wheels, seats, and S55 sound (thx for confirming OP).

Glad there's now proper power from a proper engine and proper brakes. This is the way the M2 should have came.
Great for folks in line for the M2C as they can always dip to a P car since it's becoming overpriced for what it is. Anything at $70-75k+ OTD can get you more. M2 owners should hope there's demand for the M2C on the second-hand market. M2C will always be chosen over the M2 at the same price. |

Always choose it over the M2? Not for me. I'd walk right past the M2c to get a pre s55 any day. Guess I'm the only one. If I wanted a another tarted up M car, I would have bought another M5. |

So the seat bolster digs into your thigh resting on the dead pedal? Im about your size but wonder if it would be less of an issue with a MT, since the left foot is more active and spends a lot less time on the dead pedal (I'm planning a 6MT).

I have a feeling down the road civic m2 is going to be sought after much more than people now think.
Especially when N55 power mods are completely figured out in 2018, N55 with turbo/cooling/fueling upgrade can match a pump gas tuned s55 at 450-500whp mark. Beyond that level is dragster territory which F8X platform isn't very good at anyway. I'll do something in next few month to show how.

Yes sir! My car with active autowerke intercooler, charge pipe, full sig exhaust and 3.5bar map sensor with flash is hitting 400hp on the Awron at 22psi. Feels absolutely perfect.

Does anyone know if the ride quality will be more stiff, less or the same in the M2C? I sold my M2 because I thought it was too stiff as a dd for my commute.

Guys I'd like to clarify a few things as the OP. First my apologies for the quality and quantity of pics. I was very rushed as the event I was attending was a about to begin and they opened the car and started it as a favor. I literally had two minutes.
With respect to the sound it was hasty and irresponsible to say it sounded "shit". I don't want guys being overly influenced by this. The engine was cold and not under load obviously. The best way to describe it is that it sounds different. A very different tone to the N55 and I suspect the difference will continue to be there regardless of cold start, or any mode the car is in or any performance exhaust. It's a different engine and different sound. I'm very biased because I love the N55 with MPE it's my favorite attribute of my car. This is however subjective so others may love the S55. I wanted to clarify this. The new car looks spectacular, simply in the very brief time I had with it my initial impressions of the sound and seats weren't great. My opinion may change if I spend more time with the car. |
