Can anyone please confirm whether any material changes planned for M2C 2019 production. Reason I ask is I've been offered a cancellation allocation to take delivery early October. My current M2 PCP/lease is up for renewal in March 2019 so I wasn't looking to change. It's tempting to take delivery of one of the first M2Cs. I've previously bought M4 just before Comp Pack launched and M2 before LCI introduced, all before I joined this forum. I'd like to avoid being caught out again. Appreciate any feedback.

Definitely something new is coming - Don’t know if it’s going to be 2019...but I have no doubt about it. Think iPhones.

I heard rumours about a 4 speed unsynchronised gearbox an 45cm drum brakes around.

I think 18 to 19 is the only step change OP in seriousness. Differing engine is obviously fundamental. I can sense a special coming with the majority of the M Perf parts installed (this bumping price up by about 10k).

I would take the car available, holding on is an endless pursuit, there is always something better around the corner.

Get the allocation, don't worry about what is happening next year...

There is always something new coming but it never is up to level we all want here so. In the end, they bump the price with 10K and add some new stuff that is not worth the cash.

Your asking about changes to MY2020 M2C. I don’t forsee anything, besides the typical small price bump.

Exactly. Get the car now. The more you wait the more expensive cars will be for the car you don’t want. Plus regulations and green house gas emissions are getting more and more strict that cars in the future won’t be so fun to drive. Ie autonomous cars, CO2 standards. Etc.

Order placed yesterday, details as follows: HS DCT, BBK, Plus Pack (Sun Protection glass, front seat heating, Icon LED lights, HK), 437M wheels (deleted 788M wheels from Plus Pack), Sunroof, Folding mirrors, Driving Assistant, Speed limit display, Reverse camera, Heated steering wheel.

4.5% discount, 2.9% PCP/lease rate. Delivery early October. Very happy, can't wait.

Thanks to all those who provided constructive feedback.

Instrument cluster: maybe 6WB before F87 EOP ?

Digital instrument clusters will be rolled out to the 2-Series too. Maybe we'll still see it before F87 EOP, otherwise straightaway on the 2nd generation 2-Series. BMW is a bit backlogging with the 2-Series, compared to competitors (for example optional on a Volkswagen Polo, Audi Q2, etc.). Remains to be seen whether it will feature in 2019/2020.

I read something about higher emissions standards for the US market? Idk.

California regulators are pushing full Light duty EV cars by the next 15 years or so. California has its own rules since we have a EPA waver to set our own standards and regulations. I would not wait any longer. I said this many times. Cars in the future will not be saught after.

At the moment, I doubt that's a top priority in the US.

Some of the current 5 to 7 features will trickle down into future MY M2Cs, that's it..

All could think of at the moment is Gesture Control in the navigation..

I am holding my breath for Adaptive Suspension, hope I don't pass out..

Any links on this? I'm just seeing Trump wanting to freeze or lower standards.

People wanted lighter! Here is their lighter.

[Artemis]

Also rolled out to the M2 before end of production ?

See here ("Some Highlights of the BMW Cockpit in the all new 3 Series, X5, Z4 and 8 Series").

I have my doubts that will ever see a F8x vehicle.

Is this a UK build? Still getting the BBK in Oct? I was under the impression that they were out of the BBK and had to have std brakes!
