If a buffed version would to be announced within the first year of the M2 with CF roof, the S55, better looks, and a price 10-15k above the M2 I may just have to wait... God damnit
$10-15k? I'm sorry but I literally laughed out loud. GTS/CSL's don't even come to the US when they exist. The E92 M3 GTS cost more than a 911 GT3 while the E46 M3 CSL was something like $30k more than the regular M3.

Personally, I'd never be interested in those cars. That's way too far into Porsche territory. Not to mention if you are concerned about the weight, stop loading up these cars with so many options. Then mod it yourself (that's half the fun for me right there!)

My 2 cents
