It's 80 pounds lighter. Only because the car is physically smaller not because they tried to pursue lightness.

It sure looks good, but halarious for you guys to gush about a 5kg weight savings on a car that's like 600lb overweight. What's that like .002% of the weight of the car? Lot more bang for your buck elsewhere. Poser item masquerading as performance part seems to me, but plenty of posers, and it does look nice..

That's exactly the way that Acura entered the US market. When I bought my Integra in 1987, there were 2.5 trim levels and 4 colors. You could add air conditioning if you wanted and floor mats. They also built very high quality cars for a reasonable amount of money. A few years earlier than that, I remember shopping for a car with my mother across Ford and Chevrolet. Their option lists were like phone books and the quality was not *quite* as high...

Let's be real...weight savings is almost a non issue, we like it because it's so damn sexy.

You guys are telling me the M2 does not come with the optional carbon fiber roof, you got to be kidding me for the price. I hate sunroofs! It needs M mirrors and M specific quality seats. And the carbon fiber roof needs to have mounts/brackets for putting a Thule rack on it.

Looks great. Glad I don't own an M2
To those worrying...whole cars are glued together. This is not paper glue. This is industrial strength stuff that will glue a tank to a 747.

Now add these clever 'M4' style headlight masks, to complete the Mini M4 look.

Not sure I'd consider doing the CF roof but you better believe I'm considering loading my trunk!

On a side note, paint those roof rails black like the factory would have. It ruins the lines from from to back! |

Want an M4, buy an M4. M2 looks amazing as is and IMHO, much nicer than the M4 because it doesn't look like stretched taffy. |
