I like the carbon fiber E-brake and carbon fiber around the gear shift.

I don't get what makes that a "track edition." It just has a bunch of M performance parts on it. Those tires would be horrible on a track!

Does it have an LSD? At least that would be a significant improvement for the track.

Congratz nice car, seems to be mostly cosmetic and well I'd prefer the PSS over the P-zeros that comes with those rims... But really what do I know?

I thought it was just BMW USA but several others have said so online too.

I am still hopeful one day they will come to their senses because that is the base M-sport interior and if you value performance over appearance, it is much better for spirited driving. Sadly most are into fakery. Call it a "track" version which is farthest from the truth. They call it a sports coupe in the USA but leave out the best sports coupe interior for the Europeans.

On the new US market M3/M4 you can get Alcantra seats with leather inserts, why not on a 2-series?

Looks good, not feeling the wheels and BMW has to stop using the "M" badge so much. The suede looks good but BMW also has to stop using that dinoc fake carbon fiber bs too.

Because there are a few diehards that want the best possible seats for spirited driving. In this case, cloth is stickier and better for that so I guess they offer it for the full M car but the M-sport line BMW USA is going for luxury so they decided that fake leather, while not as good, maintains the appearance of luxury. That is what I have been able to piece together. Americans, if you generalize have their own ideas. They would rather drive a hideous Venza instead of an A4 Avant wagon because crossover is cooler than wagon even though it's hideous. Diesels and Mini-vans are the same. Once folklore deems something unacceptable, the masses follow.

I am trying to do my part to get BMW USA to stop this but can't do it alone. They only care what the customer says and they are gleefully buying fake leather or paying the $1400 for pretty hard leather that feels harder than the fake stuff. I hope some of you that are in the market will request it and let BMW know that not every BMW guy is a cow following the BMW USA bull around. Let them know! This interior is really cool!!! Better than fake leather any day. It should be the base interior IMHO.

So BMW's idea of making this "track ready" is slapping every BMW performance part in the catalog on it and charging a premium. Well played. At least they also put on the LSD which is about the only item contributing to track use.
