Active M Diff: http://www.bimmerfile.com/2011/09/28...ial-in-detail/ Imo, this is the best thing about the F series cars. EPS maybe because less drag on the engine with a belt driven pump? For now, if I had to get a EPS enthusiast car, it'd be a P car. Hope that changes and M philosphy distances itself from the majority of soft consumers |

Yes they offer that on the M235i/M240i etc. But it is not the same as the Active M diff the "real" Ms get. The "active" diff, is literally, (pro)active! Ie, the banned one in most motorsport akin to Ferrari's e-diff. Read the link above.
I even think the BMWP diff for "normal" non-M is not a clutch-type LSD either. Most likely a torsen/helical type. |

been driving it daily for past months, only prob is getting in n out of that bucket seats lol keeping my 1m, no need for M2C, major diff will be the steering if comparing to the M2C. 1M steering is still little favorable over my GT3, and that just a little, and slightly more comfy because of the seats. |

I don't believe my friend's M2 was tuned, so it was running stock hp, which isn't a ton more than my tuned 135i. Why is the car so much harder on consumption on the track?

The 135i is yielding me about 22 mpg. When I am pushing it around it is actually more thirsty than the M2!

Exactly as BAN_M2 said. Your tuned 135i probably has all the safety stuff off like cat protection mode. We don't have EGT, it's calculated from a predefined algorithm, but this mode is not hard to reach and throws the car into 10.8 AFR at WOT. Not saying this applies exactly the same way to the M2 especially considering it has completely different DME (Siemens IIRC), but surely something similar. Also, basic principle is RPMs turns stuff into consumables, including clutches, gearboxes, diffs as well as fuel etc etc THe N55 M2 has a wider powerband and he is probably winding it out to 6500 at least. Whereas our N54 with small turbos and a suboptimal cyl head/cams is no good above 6000 really, especially tuned. The N55 M2 also has shorter gear ratios which will probably result in a higher avg RPM.

I would have loved to get a tat drive but my dealer of 17 years decided to mark the M2Comp up 5k and capped the allocation. I was second in line but never got a call.
So...I said screw it. I went and found a 2014 981S MT with all the goodies and haven’t thought about BMW until now. I still have my 1M but I’ve retired her from DD use. The car will only see flawless weather and special events. |

But ideally I would like to retire it to weekend drive/road trips/touring and picking up a used Cayman is becoming a more interesting idea... or possibly building a track only car like a spec E46... |

Somebody also weighed an M2 and a Competition same scale back to back.. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1529257 3565 vs 3454 I already plan to change wheels, midpipe to single center and muffler, go Catless etc etc it all will make it weigh close to what the M2 was.

Got to mess with one last Friday. I like it but not as much as my 1M, They should of left the sunroof out to keep the weight off. I am also indifferent on the rear vs the 1M, something about how the whole rear is flared out vs the arch flares on the 1M

I personally find the M2C to be bland - but the M2 very different - LOVED the look of that. I can only surmise it is because of the new wheels. *And I would have LOVED to have had a sunroof on my M2 (not avail in NA in 2017).
