Plenty of new details and interesting discussion points, ahead of the drive reviews with interviews with M2 Engineering and Product Managers.
Topics such as;
G87 vs F87 improvements
Chassis stiffness
M4 comparison
Driving impressions
M2 Competition
M2 CS
M2 Xdrive
Manual and Auto transmissions
M Performance HAS kit
Cast wheels and rim weight
Driving Assistant systems
Current and future colors
In the interview when asked about Comp or CS he is deliberately vague but he does say;
".... not in a time scale that is very close. Is there room for a Comp or CS, yes of course there is room"
After being asked about the Xdrive he is slightly less vague, and he does say;
"[ The Xdrive ]... Is a lifecycle ahead of us, which is quite long"
There's no firm "no" to either question which is positive. Reading between the lines it's possible to deduce that the LCI will likely bring a Comp with Xdrive.
But who knows, the only thing for sure right now is you can by a non-comp, non-CS, rwd fun machine in an auto or manual which is pretty cool!
