That doesn't have anything to do with comfort access. My 335 has comfort access etc as well. The handles are not flush (standard F30 design), and has the key hole which is there for access if the electronics fail. Even without comfort access you still have remote unlock/lock, just not touch.

I think that the lack of color choices has nothing to do with expense and everything to do with marketing. You pay to play. It's their company, they can do what they want. If you don't like the color choices, wrap it.

F22, F23, F87 all set by the current same constraint. However I think this is being put in place 'soon' bit outside the lifespan of the models I've listed.

Yes the M2 paint colors have always been constrained by the factory location.

Same goes for the BMW decision to drop the (practical) USB 2.1 Ampère port inside the cupholders on the M2 CS. Another example: passengers in the back lost their airco ventilation. All for the sake of 'weight saving' or supposed track-tool bragging rights ? For a quick list of features available on the M2 Competition which ain't available on the M2 CS: see here.

If this thing was ever to actually meant to be useful on the track it would come with adjustable front camber capable of providing at least -2.5 degrees up front. Instead it will just load up, overheat and burn the outside edge of the fronts on track when driven at the limits.
Which is *vastly* more useful for track use: adjustable front camber or saving 1lb for deleting comfort access?

Then the airco of the US-spec M2 CS differs from the one of the EURO-spec M2 CS.

Edit: to elaborate, I think that would round out the CS nicely. Some M2C owners will also eventually want to upgrade wheels/tires and possibly brakes. |

If the Canadian car has it, it would seem the USA one would also (i.e. BMWNA seems unlikely to import two different setups to me).

For instance, Canada gets the 40/20/40 rear fold down seats, the US only fitted with a 40/60 split. Also, Canada gets a third 12v outlet, under the glovebox, US doesn't.. There are a few more differences I won't bore you with but the point being, it's possible that the HVAC and Comfort Access feature could be different between the two sovereign countries, so it's anyone's guess, until it's officially confirm. |

Comfort access is not coming on the Canadian CS. I wish it was but that being said it’s not a deal breaker. I found on my 240 when walking away from the car it was more convenient to hit the lock button on the fob. But when approaching the car just grabbing the door handle was nice. No big deal but dumb to omit it on this car. Just my .02.

If you go to the Canadian regional forum, under M2 CS Canadian pricing there is a product planning bulletin. It shows the differences between the M2C and the M2CS. Looks pretty official to me. No mention of the M2CS not having dual zone airco. Does say no comfort access. If I had to guess the US model will be similar.

https://www.ppsl-bmw.sg/insights/Comfort-access-system It's funny, my Jag only has half this feature. I don't believe it locks itself if I walk away from it. I just don't have to remove the key from pocket to get in and start. It won't be missed if I still have remote start feature. |

So what about the M2 CS airco: dual zone as on the M2C or simplified/single zone as on the M3 CS, M4 CS and M4 GTS ?
But there will still be a difference: the M2 Competition features ventilation in the rear - that was omitted on the M2 CS. M2 CS - interior - front (configurator): M2 Competition - interior - front (configurator): M2 CS - interior - rear (configurator): M2 Competition - interior - rear (configurator):
