F40 LCI?

Any news on the F40 LCI? We're seeing spy pics regularly now, though the top post doesn't say anything about a facelift.

Or are these prototypes mules for the F70?

Yes, interesting question (F40 LCI).
I don't think we will see it because regarding lifecycle BMW would have presented it already...

Thanks Scott26.

Even the "tried and true" Sensatec would suffice. I've had a few with it and its comfy and durable.

I like either Merino or Sensatec. Venasca doesn't feel very good to me.

CS YES, CSL NO

Because they announced only one and that was the M4CSL

Refer last interview Marcus Flasch did before going to Rolls Royce

I'm not sure how that follows - the M4 CSL is happening right now, an M2 CSL would be several years in the future and it's possible that even M hasn't made up their mind about it yet, either.

Actually, no, it's not possible that even M hadn't made up it's mind. They already know exactly what they'll be pushing out the doors until 2030.

There may be a M2CS but won't be a M2CSL

I think you're confusing the F87's with G87's.

F87 CSL was developed in conjunction with the CSR but had to be culled. Instead the CS became a little more than intended, and the CSL parts became part of the very extensive M Performance Parts offerings.

If a G87 CSL can be done, it will be done.

I'm not suggesting a G87CSL, can't be done. I'm merely saying, if it was going to be done, it would have been announced as such, as was the G82CSL.

Having said that, like your good self, I'd rather buy a M2CSL than a M4CSL - it'd be shorter, and hopefully lighter than the 4er which would be absolutely fantastic.

That's a good question. I really don't see a reason for having separate G87 Core and Comp variants at this point beyond vague continuity with M3/4 nomenclature. IMO, one basis variant (M2 Competition), choice of transmissions.

That makes no sense. At that time, the G82 was already to market. The G87 was not and is still months away from market launch.

Hell, if we used your same logic here, the M3 CS, M4 CS, and M4 GT/Hommage won't happen either because they weren't specifically mentioned.

EPA Common App looks consistent with what you're saying:
Attachment 2877412
Interesting, I hope that's the case since I really want a manual in the top of the line spec.

Not sure what the source of that spreadsheet is, but it does worry me a little that it doesn't say "M2 competition" instead of "M2 Coupe" if all of them would be competitions. But I do agree that it would be weird to have a base M2 and M2 comp on the entry level M car since there's so little to differentiate to begin with.

That's a huge screw-up. Those pages should be redacted per CBI Rules.

Lol…Wasn't YOUR screw-up. I say leave it. There isn't really anything that hasn't been listed in this thread.

Yeah. But it's based on a very sketchy looking clue. And I should probably stop posting stuff that is not totally certain because it seems there's too much trust in my posts even when I specifically say there shouldn't be.

(A good problem to have tbh.)

There is still only a single M2 model - base. It doesn't have Comp as an option either.

Well that's a big deal. LCI will likely be a comp again?

Hope you don't mind, I'm going to share this in the M2 thread.
