Is this for a US spec car? No charge for the auto tranny?

[TractionControlDelete]

The pricing is completely reasonable. This car is going to sell like crazy! Can't wait to see one in-person

[cbertels]

I just want to pile on disappointment for no carbon buckets. Not really in the market for this but it would be a deal killer for me.

What is your motivation for optioning this? Seems like such a waste of $2500.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: because he wanted it.

I know, different people wanting different things, weird eh. smh

Guess he needs the top speed limiter raised for the track. I doubt I would even see 150 at the end of COTA's back straight(.62miles).

Yeah I'm not buying without the buckets.

Deal. Breaker.

Argh... looks like we still don't get the good headlights here in the US (5AP anti dazzle disabled) ? I thought the US finally passed regulation allowing the adaptive lights?

177 MPH bragging rights? One day M school is $1750. If you are a BMW CCA member you receive 15% off of that.

The bill has been signed, but the regulation has not been implemented by DOT yet.

Top speed is for trips to Mexico

Top speed might get used.

The Performance Driving School is pretty great too. I used mine towards the M4 GT4 experience, so it was a few hundred bucks instead of $2795.

My car came with the M Drivers pack at no cost, so it was a no brainer.

Edit: I think I was pretty close when I said a fully loaded M2 (with carbon buckets) would be around $80K.

Someone mentioned it comes with carbon strut brace, you know the ugly one they sold with X3M at launch.

[PackPride85]

Wow the m2 is no longer the "affordable" M car. My OG M2 with exec package, which was fully loaded minus the DCT, was 53k.

More standard options + more options + inflation will do that.

This is like when M3 buyers complain how they can't order alcantara headliner or B&W sound system like the 5/7 series. "I'm spending $100k on a car!"

... but it's still a 3-series in the grand hierarchy. (And the M2 is a lowly 2-series.)
