Great Find

In the Video he mentions that they would build M2 Competitions for the US market first so that they arrive in showrooms at the same time as in Europe. US ED buyers rejoice!

Yup, that is what Frank van Meel told me.

I am happy you liked my filming skills

Did I hear right or did Shmee say the 0-60 times are approximately the same as the current M2 times? I do love the parking sensors at the front, the side mirror covers and definately the seats. Otherwise not too much changes from the current M2. Thanks for the post.

Gauges aren't digital, and the no PDC button issue was addressed in an istep update but it seems like he got everything else right

I'm dying to see a reviewer throw this on the lift so we can check out the underside of the engine and the new suspension changes in the rear. Probably a ways out before that ever happens.

Even if it's true, the 60-120 is going to be the number to watch

That is something he would not have known really. The PDC thing is still an issue on older M2 cars, and it is something a lot of people talk about so
I had it mentioned on the list to talk out.

I also made photos of the exhaust and suspension.

Makes sense. I thought it was a great video overall. Glad everything was covered in detail.

Is that white or silver.. Anybody have a sample link of the Hockenheim Silver?

That's Hockenheim Silver. It make look more white in the video since the backdrop they're filming the car in front of is white and the paint is reflective.

It's HS. I think it will be impossible to get a feeling for this color unless you see it in person in different lighting situations, that goes for Mineral White as well.

I also feel like HKS will be PIA to match if you get into an accident etc.

Certainly no tougher than LBB!

Im liking the HS the best. I have LBB now, and its fine, but not loving how it shows absolutely everything on its surface. Ive always enjoyed alpine bmws, but didnt want to do white again. I'm thinking the HS will deliver the clean look of white and dust camoflaging ability, without being white. Cool look.

Really? Didn't know that about the LBB. A reputable local paint shop once told me that the hardest colors to match for him was Silverstone and Mineral White. HKS looks similar to MW so that's why I thought it would be tough to color match.
