No need for M2 CSL, at least for me. I looked at the M3 CSL and thought that it was cool more than anything else. I eagerly await on pix and pricing of the M2.

I'd be happy with the 1st Gen M2 but will wait for 2nd or 3rd production year.
Edit: stardate ~some time before 2020. I'd wait for a lightweight 1400kg-ish four-banger turbo, hardcore M2 evil twin. Last edited by m981addicts; 03-26-2015 at 04:07 PM.. |

My point was that you said the E46 CSL still had the fastest Nurburgring time, which you were obviously wrong.

Wait, I thought there were a few times of newer BMWs that were faster than the CSL?

Hell no, it's been too long of a wait already. I really wish they would release specs soon before I go and buy another Porsche.

If you think about the juncture we are at now, the M3/M4 shares VERY similar figures to the Porsche 959, which was the ULTIMATE supercar not too many years ago.
Now imagine 400hp (claimed) in a stripped out little ///M2 of 3,300lbs or so, it would be MADNESS! 0-62mph would be under 4 seconds, Nurburg I would assume would be around 7:45 and possibly even quicker if it's got stickier tyres. I don't know if I'll be in a position to buy one of these, so price dependent, I would DEFINITELY look into waiting out for this car! |

That's why cars like the Z06 and GTRs don't interest me all that much. When the hell are you going to get to use them? I'd much rather have a car like an M2 or a GT4.

I really honestly do think that we are at a turning point where more focus will be towards weight rather than power.

First year M2 for me. I held myself back from the 1M and kick myself over and over. I bought my STi with the new body on the first year and haven't had one issue with the car. Maybe I treat my cars differently than others and check fluid levels on pretty much every fill up.
I think we will see a M2 CLS type car but I really doubt we will get it here in the States. I won't be wishing and waiting for one either. Car companies all throw these special cars out there but I highly doubt the states will see it. I'll keep my STi as my daily and throw this M2 into the mix. Just waiting to see what the final specs will be. I don't want to have to mod as much as I did with the STi to get it to where I wanted it.

Yes the car NEED the extra power because I am paying a premium on it and it is competing with other high performance cars. I don't need it when I am cruising but need it whenever being called upon
This car is not for only cruising and if so this is the wrong forum for it. M stands for Motorsports and in Motorsports horse power is never enough!!! |

I wouldn't say NEED, but I say it is expected. I think the sweet spot is around 420-430 whp with a tune. Head over to the M3/M4 forums where their cars come stock with that amount of hp and see how many of them are complaining about power. Quite the opposite actually, many of those guys are tuning and modding already to get to the high 400s/ low 500s. I was pulling around 380-390 whp on my n54 135i, with the confidence of a better suspension and thicker tires I expect more power out of the M2. Last edited by filet.M2c; 03-27-2015 at 01:57 AM.. |
