"M2 CSR": 3,022 lbs S55 M2
A M2 with a S55 that weighs in a tick over 3,000lbs. Just shows what can be done. Even 1/4 of what is done to this car, would reduce significant weight. You want S55 power and cooling, plus lightweight parts for only $4.4k...not happening. But BMW will now sell you oem parts that will accomplish what your want. Put your money where your mouth is...complainers.

I will gladly pay up to $15K-$20K for the CF hood, roof, and the fenders (port installed) but BMW is telling me I have to wait till November. In other words, I can't really put my money where my mouth is even though I want to... till November. Waiting till November is only going to make getting rid of my M4 lease more difficult so if I purchase these parts after taking the delivery, the labor of paint &install will probably exceed the cost of the parts. It's a tough decision at least for me.

You are on your way, with BMW doing a factory S55 swap for $4k.

Only 911 I would be interested is 911 GTS and it costs around $135K. That's not the point tho. I have no problem paying M4 money ($80-85K) for an M2 that weighs around 3400-3450lbs. If I wanted a 2-seater, I would have gotten a Vette GrandSport long time ago and P-cars wouldn't have even crossed my mind. I need the trunk space, seats etc. So yes once again, I would pay $80K-85K for an M2 and have zero regrets about it if BMW offered all those CF parts at the launch.
