The end is nigh.... but I ain't leaving here

Agreed. Post RIS the M2 is effortlessly ballistic! only had one opportunity to open her up but the Audi TT was left pretty much for dead.

I'm hoping that as the engine loosens up the economy improves as it feels worse than the Zed! not helped by a tiny tank.

Fuel economy is worse then my Z4M...

My experience so far....

Chassis is pretty incredible, it really isn't that far away from the Cayman S I test drove (say 80% as good) which considering its a front engine \ RWD platform vs a mid engine car is pretty impressive.

Engine is crazy strong but it isn't anywhere as nice as the S54 (don't tell SWMBO) on the few occasions I've had to rev it out it's felt a bit workman like, nothing wrong with it at all, it just doesn't seem particularly special but I think that's FI vs NA engines full stop and a sign of the times. In it's defence there is very little turbo lag.

Went out indoor skiing with a mate and the boot was useful so on a practicality front it's win win.

I'll have to try it Sport Plus mode and see if it sounds any better.

Cheers T1b

True; the standard chassis and grip of my N55 M2 is better then my Z4M with Bilstein PSS-10...

Turbo engine is ok, but nothing that special like a S54...the S54 is so epic when revving it on track.

The M2 is a perfect do it all car, practical, fast, comfort, excitement + fun on street & track!

Never liked the sound of the M3/M4/M2 comp with the S55 engine...the N55 M2 sounds way better (standard exhaust on mine). But it's not a massive problem in my opinion.
