Because weight is irrelevant for a car which will never see the track. These packages are all marketing.

i'm confused with this lineup now, does m2c and m5c are now becoming "new models" as it was said year or two ago that we will see "m2cs, m5cs, m8cs models" (in that time they were called either cs or csl), and they are more powerful versions of m2 and m5 just like m4cs, or these are just packages just like prevoius m5 CP, current m4 cp, etc.?
can someone explain this, I thought they were packages like, but than I saw m2c on bmw.de website as seperate model |

I find using Apple car play for Nav on other cars is so quirky and slow. The regular BMW Nav is fine.

This M5 pig is almost a minute faster around the Nordschleife track. i think the S5 is around 8min 26sec and M5(non comp) 7min 38sec..even with the sunroof it will still be way under 8min

1. Completely different price bracket. 2. These cars will never see the track anyway so it doesn't even matter how fast it goes around the stupid ring. 3. Never made that comparison, you did. 4. The M5 and S5 aren't even the same class of car.

This is will occur in the fall, having access to Waze is a game changer to avoid police radar, especially in a M vehicle.

Have you tried the new cloud connected Nav in the 2018 models? I find it very accurate.

I am calm. It's just stupid that a 'competition' model has an option for a moonroof. Marketing at its finest.

It's also stupid that a car sold in this country can exceed 155 miles an hour when there is no place to drive that speed on public roads. Lots of things about this car make no practical sense. But who cares? Most people don't buy this car for pragmatic reasons.

Do you really think it matters on a car this size/weight? I'd argue that the carbon fiber roof is more "marketing" than the sunroof option. I'd get the carbon roof because it looks cool. Nothing to do with performance.
