Only reason not to get it is if you‘re looking for massive power gains.

    This is the only M2 you should buy if you plan to keep it stock. If cost isn't a concern, consider getting an F87 CS instead. The S55 engine, while sharing common issues with the N55, such as leaky valve cover gaskets, also has additional problems. These include leaky turbos, crank hub, and charge cooler issues.

    We think, at the same price, the M2C is the more sensible buy. It's got a better engine and interior for the money compared direct to a stock OG M2. However, the sound of the N55 is wonderful, so it's really down to preference.

    I a few months ago bought a stock 2018 m2 LCI 6spd manual full loaded. I chose this over the comp because i cant stand the sound of the s55 and if i did an s55 it would be a big single turbo conversion with crankhub upgrade and that alone is way to expensive before even making power. People underestimate the n55b. Mine now makes 535 whp on 93 and 675 whp on e50 with a flex fuel system. I did pure 750 turbo, HPFP and LPFP, new sparks and coils, VRSF FMIC, VRSF DP, M performance exhaust, charge pipe, inlet pipe, s55 carbon sturt and aluminum brace, tuner motorsport carbon fiber intake and a few clean up mods such as suveneer bmw gts hood and some carbon side skirts , rear diffuser and m2cs carbone fiber front lip, m4 front seats with reupholster leather and alcantara with blue stitching m2 head rest illuminated badge from bmw. Its been the most balanced car ive owned and sounds incredible and is absolutely fast. People sleep on the OG and get woke real quick. But my car is built for canyons, track (non drag), and occasional hwy fun. Someone will always be faster but does their actual driving skill out match you is the question. I will keep this car for more than a lifetime as it is very special.

I owned an M140i which I took from standard to 455bhp/634nm, and the B58 is a brilliant engine, the best modern BMW 6 in my opinion. No wonder it is gaining a reputation as the new 2JZ. The N55 in the OG M2 is not the same as the M135i/M235i, because it has forged internal parts, and other improvements, and if you worked in the motor trade for as long as myself, you might know this. I would prefer the B58 in my M2, but the N55 is still a great engine and very reliable, just not as tuneable as the B58. That doesn't matter to me, because I have a low mileage m2 which I am keeping standard. so I take your 'lol' and I throw it back at you, and then PMSL at your lack of knowledge and then trying to 'educate' somebody on the internet who obviously knows a LOT more than you do about the subject you are trying to preach son.

My statement was that the M2 was in my opinion, the last true M car. Not necessarily the OG M2, simply the M2 F87 of any model. I think the new G87 has gone too far, it is a very fast, and capable car, and still RWD, but too heavy, too refined, and too 'digital'. The F87 was still a raw and quite analogue machine. The M4, M5 etc, are just too big and heavy to be M cars, when you consider the original M car intentions, ie to be faster, lighter, more race/track ready versions of standard models. I don't believe any of the 2+ ton SUV's should have M car designations, it has devalued the M car name, and now is basically just a trim level.

    I have an OG M2, the ONLY thing I wish the F87 M2s had is a high transmission tunnel (to make it feel like more of a cacoon - like traditional sports coupes, which the new M2 has). Apart from that things I prefer from the LCI which I wish mine had (but all doable), the LCI rear lights, CarPlay, and the black trim instead of chrome around kidney grills and side gills. And the front seats. But all upgradable. Performance wise… I wouldn’t change a thing - just this Sunday I was chasing a McLaren 720 on some country lanes for a good while… more than capable of keeping up with anything on the road.

    @ryan2k814 hey congrats on your new M2! The simplest way to get there would be a Pure stage 2 turbo, upgraded intercooler and catless downpipe (I just went with VRSF), Dorsch stage 1 or 2 hpfp, upgraded plugs and coils, and a custom tune. That should get you to mid/upper 400's and then if you run ethanol, closer to 500. This will run you around $4500ish excluding labor. The clutch will hold that power fine if you have a manual and if dct, I'd recommend an XHP trans tune also 🙂

    As an ex-owner of 2 manual M235i’s at stage 1, I was never really impressed by the M2’s performance but the looks in my opinion … The F87 M2 is the most beautiful car BMW has ever made. With all the rage about the B58’s these days , most missed the window of the magical N55 post 2014. It seems to be fading now and it had its time but was by no means any slouch. At stage 1 I managed 330 whp with a catless downpipe twice , both did 100 - 200 in well under 10 seconds - that’s stock F87 M2 Competition times. A pre-owned M235i/M240i is all you need, well, until you can afford the 👑 S58. I patiently await my turn for G87 manual in white 🎉.

    tbh gen 1 b58 is great but S55 is in some ways better. if the m2 had an s55 i would be very happy with it. but since it doesnt its a let down like you say. but the new gen 2 b58 is defintely on par or better than an s55 so imo the new m240xi is a better buy than an f87 for the same price

    @@ibrahimelmi210 I steered very clear from the S55 because of the notorious crank hub issues pre-owned. Tbh my N55’s performance more than matched the S55 on stage 1 vs stock, I had loads of fun with them on the road and they would always be sour afterward with the results 🤓. Don’t confuse me though, if I could have afforded the ///M (fit the bill for Maintainence) I would have got one 👍🏼. But look, it was great for what it was, if they were launched in x drive as well back then the F80/82/87 ///M’s would have also been in the 10’s easily without too much work. With regards to the M2 not having an S55 - correct but the F87 M2 Competition did - also a great car but again not much faster in a straight line vs an M235/240i 💭 Note this is coming from me , an average petrolhead that’s been around for a while and only needs a car that gives great performance in a straight line and sometimes twisties - I don’t track or drag race my cars - rolling on the highway 🛣️ is cool 👌🏼. Bang 💥 for buck all depends on your pocket. Today : M235i ~ $20K M240i ~ $30K G 20. M340i ~ $45K G42. M240i ~ $50K The F series could still give you the same or better performance with not much spent on it for half the price if you’re on a budget. Also to the younger crowd on a lower end budget wanting your first BMW i6 - don’t discount the N55 , an M235/135/335i is still a great car if you find one in good nick with full service history at a dealer etc etc. change the oil every 5000 km , change the turbo and induction piping to carbon/ aluminium and it will take care of you. A catless downpipe and good tune is all the power you need (~400HP). But agreed 👍🏼, if it’s in your budget (also if it breaks - warranties are void with mods - the internet guys never tell you that 😩) the new B58 XDrive combos are great value for money. The S58’s are exorbitantly expensive right now 😅, I’ll have to wait.

    I chose the M2 OG LCI (2018) over the Competition model for a straightforward reason: the OG embodied BMW's intended vision for the M2 in terms of its driving dynamics and overall experience, while the Competition felt more like an afterthought (a detuned M4). This might explain BMW's decision to facelift the original M2. Also, it's noteworthy that BMW had to replace the N55 engine with the S55 in the M2 to comply with the then-new emission standards. Although I've sold my M2, when it's time to purchase another, I'll still opt for the OG M2, possibly a CS model due to its exclusivity and raw character.

    ​ @WaseemKhan-iu4bh Not when it's stock. I'm reluctant to talk about drag times when it comes to M cars, but let's make a brief analysis based on my verified findings on 'Ze Perfs': In the 1/4 mile, the M2 DCT OG clocks in at 12.7 seconds, whereas the M2 DCT Comp is slightly quicker at 12.5 seconds. Over 1 kilometer, the M2 OG records a time of 23.1 seconds, against the M2 Comp's 22.7 seconds. Personally, I don't think a 0.2 second difference in the 1/4 mile and a 0.4 second difference over a KILOMETER puts them in different leagues. In stock form, the OG's peaky low-down torque is what convinced me, the stock Comp felt too linear. Personally, I've never felt the need for more power so modding it was never an option especially since the car was still under warranty. Besides, it's worth noting that the suspension components in the OG LCI are identical to those in the Comp model, perhaps minor differences like the steering rack, carbon fibre strut brace, etc. They both share the same DCT box and M diff.

If you want to be fast in the straight and tune the car for cheap, then go for the b58. If you want something for looks and a special feeling when driving. You get Everytime a big smile when driving when driving the M2 but go for the manual if you ask me. It feels like a modern e46 m3. DCT is boring in this car.

Now the m2c or og is on my mind and that’s what I’m indecisive about. I want straight line but also enjoy it around the corners on a b road or track.

I even got stiffening brackets for the rear subframe. 2. You can calculate how much you have to pay for the front and rear subframe. Then you need a locking diff and then you still need to widen the car. I think it's cheaper to buy a m2. Go to a dealer and drive one. You won't regret it :). But when you buy the OG then do Manual!! When Comp then both are a option. In germany you pay 10-15k more for a comp. That wasn't worth for me. Ignore the seats. Both are very good.
