Thank you, should've combed that first page better initially.
Seems like xDrive is coming, hoping to get my M2 in a year...unless it isn't available until calendar year 2026...

Same with cars. Which is why I’m trying to discern if the CS would actually sport a different front fascia than the reg M2 in the same model year. That’s a yes or no question. Next question is, would they release a MY25 CS with the current front fascia, only to change it a year later when the supposed LCI is due out in MY26, with the almost-certain new front fascia.

I think it’s safe to say you get what you get with the CS, so if you’re in the market for it, just get it, because it’ll be a 1-2 year run and likely not see a change for this series. Unless you’re trying to say you’re cross shopping the M2 and the M2 CS, to which I can only say “bitch, please…” |

Front fascia could change for the base M2 cars in model year 2025, though. Nobody knows for certain until the car is formally announced. I think we're going to see more "enhancements" than just the power bump.

One question that I have not seen addressed (or perhaps I have missed it?) is whether any of the current G87 M2 colors might be removed/replaced as new colors are introduced for MY 2025. Would appreciate any information on this matter -- thx in advance!

LCI is when things will change slightly but the CS will already be about by then. The first time was saw ID8 in the M3/4 was with the M3 touring and they already had announced the M4CSL which had the old interior and seeing the M3 touring with ID8 we all knew the M4 was getting ID8 the year after. So BMW would definitely announce M2CS and then a year later announce M2 LCI. Something that I’ve noticed with BMW lately is they are very quick with changes. |

I can’t wait that long. Seems like we’re stuck at 400 ft lbs of torque with the 6MT, so can’t see too many more major power upgrades coming on the 6MT cars.

Which would make sense cause I believe most comp buyers for M3/4 have gone the Xdrive route, which is why BMW are even thinking about an M2 Xdrive in the first place. |

There was an article from 4th quarter 2023 stating that they were doing away with base and making the Competition model as the base (is it true or not.. ). To me, just means they will put a badge on the "entry" level and charge more for it. Will see if I can find it Edit: here it is. https://www.bimmerfile.com/2023/09/2...going-forward/ Last edited by M_Power Rob; 04-10-2024 at 07:43 AM.. |

Yeah, all of that will move away from the RWD 6MT magic, that is the M2. I better just stick to my 2025 slot. I’m already tired of waiting. This is going to be brutal. Like November delivery brutal.

Is an official announcement from BMW still anticipated in September of this year? I don't like thinking about waiting that long, but I think I will when/if xDrive is confirmed...

This year is a model update just a power bump and some more colours. LCI would be next year I believe but yet to even see a base 2 series coupe LCI driving around. |

But until then if people want an M2 they should just go ahead a buy one, still a great car either way. |

I've also said this. Aside from the +20hp for MY25 I don't expect the MT to get any more power increases. If you want a MT M2 either get the current model or wait for MY25 for the power bump and more color options. Only reason to wait for a MT M2 beyond that is for LCI which may not debut until calendar year 2026, TBD.

Can someone answer the following two questions for me.
- Is Fire red a bright red like Ferrari Rosso Corsa? If not which colour is it exactly? - What month would ordering open up for ‘25 models and what would be the target landing date?

Ugh. There’s a nagging inside me that the LCI is going to be awesome on the G87.
I will have bought the MY right before the LCI debuts. Are LCIs generally just a bumper cover change? Or do they involve fenders and headlights too? For the OG F87s, what does it take to make it look like an LCI F87?
