I hate modern BMW’s, but even I will admit that the current M2 will one day be a car everyone wishes they had bought earlier cuz prices are over the moon

Modern take on an old school BMW M car feel.
itll be very desirable when all the M cars become mild hybrids or even full electric.

I was considering getting an 2015/6 E80 M4 as a DD because they have depreciated a fair amount for a low km car. However, when I drove one, it was powerful, but felt pretty huge. I think the best part of the M2 is the sheer small size, N55 power delivery, and the way it puts the power to the ground. Just awesome. I would say the M2 is the son of the E46 M3.
anyone considering getting one, just do it, feels and drives like no other current modern performance car. the M2 has such a unique character, it is hard to explain till you drive it.

The F80's feel way more dramatic though. The way boost comes on is like nothing..nothing..EVERYTHING all at once but I agree not ideal in terms of usability.
It will be interesting to see the M2 Competition and how the S55 affects the driving experience.

yeah that new color is called Hockenheim Silver.
has a bit of a ceramic silvergrey and white to it depending on angles....
beautiful color. the comp should be a blast. got to see a press car up close at the M driving school event I went to last month!     
essentially a short wheel base M4 with no carbon roof, composite trunk and head up display.

At $90 - $100k, that's Cayman S / GTS / "base" 911 money. I dunno about you guys, but esp at the price, I'm taking the Porsche instead of the BMW.

The MSRP is approx. $75k to $85k tops. Tofu, please correct me if I am wrong. At that price, makes tons of sense, but if I am spending $100k, I wouldn't be buying a M car......

MSRP is 71.2k (base M2 is 65k) Sure, toss options at it but really if you were in the market for an M2 anyway, this is not much of an increase.
I don't really see how you can compare dealer mark up prices to other models MSRP. What were dealers/employee demo flipper scammers asking for GT4 Caymans when they landed?

^ unfortunately you have to take into dealer bullshit mark up to get exclusive models....not that M2 comp will be 5yrs from now...I could build a 2018 GT3 on their website for $180K with great options, but unless you have a desirable GT car to trade in way below market value, you are not getting a GT3. I have a friend who has bought a 997 Turbo S, Macan, and Panamera from Porsche Vancouver and he still had to pay a $40K premium to get a highly sought after GT3......I wish Mclaren would make even a cheaper version of the 540 to retail in $200k range to go toe to toe with the GT3

They will get their 2 idiots per dealership then realize no one else is buying.

If you live in Canada and have a chance to run your new M2 Competition on the Ring, you run your new M2 Competition on the Ring, no questions asked. Moving on

Mr Money does ask a valid question. 2000kms is the first service where they change the oil to a different viscosity. On the first service, they also turn "on" the launch control feature. On the M2 forums, there are people on both sides of the importance of the break in period. Regardless, NKC One's trip seems like quite the awesome experience!

Break-in is over-rated... think about it... you drive even 5 minutes at 3,000rpm... your engine has spun around completely 15,000 times already just in that time.
If it gon break, it gon break. Way more improtant just to let the car warm up a bit before ripping it.
BMW knows what it's doing, won't set up customers for failure like that.

By the time you get delivery, the lot boys have already broken in your engine. The crosshatch pattern on the cylinder walls have MAYBE 100km to seal to the new piston rings
