They reckon around 445-450bhp from that mod? Tough to get much from the S65. The M2 has a derivative the early 135i which is also used with twin blowers in the M4 I believe.
But it's already fairly highly tuned so less wiggle room.
Not that it needs more grunt
. Overboost gets you a ton of torques in this car

I just wanted a bit more noise from the MPE which is now perfect, it sounds awesome when cruising but a bit raspy higher up when on it.

they wont make a faster M2 than M3.. even though they probably just have, if you see what i mean
CSL is dead i think.. when was the last one?
i like it. but.. and this is a big butt for me, being a grumpy old man.. it's 1550kg
that's a lot i think.. i know it has 4 seats and all that but it's a lot. it's 100kg less than my e92 though. my major gripe with that is weight but i washed it and started it tonight and i'd miss that sound
. will probably flog it this year

That logic has worked so far
i actually got in touch with Sytner about the M2 comp then woke up and realised I have virtually no use for it haha.. I drive my lad 3 miles to school and collect him in a car and the rest of my day to day is on the bike.
i've done 2k in it this last year and that won't change next year I guess.. maybe down as one of my cars was in bits for a few months.
so flog it and get a crf450x it is haha

But i had to do some heavy braking from motorway speeds when the Fiesta ST thought it would pull out into my path from a slip road and try to race me the other night and had misjudged my speed. The brakes are excellent but a lighter car would have slowed faster and i wouldn't have had had such a brown trouser moment!

Yeah i was referring to the comp, yours is a fair chunk lighter mid 1400s and readily tuned to make > comp numbers
i suppose for that money its (comp again but also more so yours) still relatively good value, you have to sacrifice something i guess.
you can spend a lot more than 40k on a 2 litre elise ffs
I think what keeps me in the E92 is aural drama. It def warrants a remap as i feel as stock it should just have purer throttle response to give.. the S2 shows it clean heels in that regard. It feels solid though.

I've got a deposit on an M2 Comp - it's due to arrive in September
All the M Performance parts were annouced today:

Lots of carbon available to drop some of that excess weight....
