Anyway, double bummer. Other than that... I absolutely LOVE this car. (But other than that, how did you like the parade, Mrs. Kennedy?)

I'd take it up with the dealer TBH, the car is specifically advertised as having PSS's and the alternative is far inferior. |

I don't think it was ever officially advertised.

Yes they did. When you configured the MY16's they talked up the "exclusive" and "unique" PSS's that were designed specifically for the M2, blah blah, marketing blah blah.
The website has been scrubbed of that since. Sucks for anyone getting the Conti's, those tires are crap. |

Mine either, but it sounds like the diff leaves parts on the ground.

Then i got the new diff. And so far I have only driven 50 km. And no noises. So...

this might not be the correct forum, but I have a friend with an e46 M3. His diff makes noises at low speed when turning. Does not make any noise at WOT in a straight line.
Makes me thinnk this is normal for BMW. or is it?

It is not normal and I have worked on diffs for a loooong time. It's a different sound, but not normal. To me, it is not a ring and pinion issue but more likely the variable lock up unit in the diff that puts pressure on the spider gears.

Exactly. its quite common for " Standard equipment " to change from year to year. on nearly any auto from nearly any manufacturer. 2016 BMW M2 got PSS and 4 year included maintenance.. 2017 BMW M2 gets Apple car play as standard, Along with wireless charging and now has two possible options for tires and has reduced maintenance. Owners of 2016s can't request or demand Apple car play and owners of 2017s get CarPlay and can't demand the 2016 maintenance package and will receive one of the two tire options. Same story different options with the M4 which got a standard suspension in 2016 and now the 2017 gets the adaptive suspension stock. |

Changing to different tires on a new model year is a way of raising their price. Kind of like, groceries that come in smaller containers but keeping the same price point.

For example on the M2 the wireless charging and the Apple car play features don't come for "free". The base price of the car is the same but the cost of these options is also a part of why likely a lesser expensive OE tire option is fitted. |

Your car is a tweener anyway because the first few months of 17 production don't have CarPlay but iirc it's been announced that a retrofit is available for the early 17s that were shipped without. Don't quote me on that .. |
