“- Fine tuning differential and transmission. It is not just the M4 software adopted.”

Oh really...do tell some more.

"Sound: Comfort rather an unobtrusive purr. In Sport + still the typical tin-tone S55 sound but much more unobtrusive. Of course it's hard to describe. Everyone feels differently and videos are not over.
But if you expect a noisemaker here, you can go to Comp. wrong - thanks to OPF"

Hmmmmmm....

These are the changes I’m interested, hidden tangible differences that will cumulatively enhance the way the car drives.

Hmmmmmm....

I guess that this means he is evaluating the EU version with the OPF?
I wonder what the US version without OPF is like?

I'm hoping a little bit louder

When is the end date for the 2 series? 10/2020?

I think in 2020 sometime, but I might be wrong.

Why is that the leather on the seat bottoms looks like it is stretching out and folding over on itself?

This is music to my ears. After driving the OG M2 the one thing that bothered me was the leaning of the front end during hard cornering. Good News! Although coilovers would be nice, I don't think they should be necessary.

Because everyone that drove the M2c had their ass pucker up as it whipped around the track!

Ha Ha, and for those complaining about Dakota leather... The Dakota leather in my car would never do that, it is as tough as shoe leather. It could mean that it is a more supple "premium" leather.

I was thinking the same. Maybe diffrent version of dakota which is softer.

I meant the 2 series. Basically trying to figure out when they stop making M2Cs. Perhaps my move is to pick up a MY21 if they make them that year and I actually want one.
