This is unlikely the only changes made to distance the M2C from the F8X while trying to appease N55 M2 owners. Down graded fueling capacity and different bottom end components are some other possible variances.

The M2 was conceived as a balanced road car that can do light track work. A car that is fast but not too fast to fully enjoy on the road, especially canyon roads. This is its ideal environment. It can be modded to be more track focused and does so very well, but the original balance is somewhat lost. The M2 Comp becomes more about numbers than a balanced road car that will be very satisfying to those who know what they’re getting. But if it’s numbers you’re after than the N55 is not the car for you and if you think the M2C will keep your interest, it won’t when the next best thing comes around.

To each their own. Ill be in the canyons. Hope to see you there.

Very well said
