Was it a minimally equipped S650GT? My S650 stickered at $60k. 2024 GT Premium,PP, Active exhuast, Magnaride, premium trim, red calipers, it was a manual. Only $3k less than the M2 which pretty much comes with all this standard.
For 2025/6 the S650 leases pretty good. If I got out of my...
That was one of the reasons I sold the Mustang, here in Commiefornia they will pull you over for modified exhaust and hit you with a fixit ticket. The M2 is kind of stealth like. Just whoosh!!!
If you get the CF roof and buckets its in the low 3740lb range. The 3814 number is a base car with an auto. I will say this...it doesn't feel like a 3800lb car.
Whats a bummer with the M3/4 you get Forged wheels saving 20lbs of rotational mass and they get a Li battery saving an additional...
Obviously the deal you get is going to be dependent on the area you live. In Los Angeles I got $1200 off of MSRP and an additional $750 off due to being a US Army Veteran. I was able to secure $2-3Koff of an M2 that was in stock but not to order, but it was also in the midwest, I either had...
I was lucky I bought it before all the tarriffs hit. Since I bought it the base price of a G87 M2 was $64K, its now at $70K and BMW doesn't have these laying around the dealership. If there is one on a lot its due to someone not taking deliverly. My car only has 10.4K miles on her. Carvana...
The S65 engine compares more to the 5.2 Voodoo than the 5.0L Coyote. The achilles hill for the S65 is the Rod Bearings. Although it affects less than 2% of the car manufactured. The aftermarket pretty much has cured that with better bearings but it costs $2500 to change them. Right at...
One of the reasons I went with the M2 is because of the $$$ difference. My S650 came in right at $60K, I bought the M2, granted there is no options on it for $63K. Remember the M2 comes with almost all the goodies standard anyway. Also I lease my vehicles and the payment on the M2 was...
I ended up with the Milltek 4" single pipe with an X pipe. Sounds as good as its going to get. Does it sound as good as my S550 with the Borla Switchfire and Ford Performance by Borla mufflers....no not at all. It does scratch the itch. My son backing the car into the garage.
The E92 was OEM with the ZCP springs which lowered the car 10mm. Im loving my G87...I almost bought an S650 but I was itching to get back into an M car. My G87 lowered with Eibach Pro Kit (15mm) and 15mm spacers on OEM wheels.
Thats with older tires, tire tech has gotten a lot better since then. A DCT E92 M3 did 0-60 in3.9 seconds and did the 1/4mile @ 12.3@116mph. in that same test they did 0-60 in 4.1 and did the 1/4 in 12.5@114mph with a 6spd manual. Not to mention the sound a Mustang would envy. The sound...
I wish I saw this before hand. I bought the Meguires endurance. Even after sitting on the M2 for 2 days without it being driven, it flings up all over the place.
I see YouTube in your future...under Mustangs wrecking. I found the Mustangs rearend very stable. You have to drive pretty hamfisted to get it to misbehave. From what you are doing, its in that catagory. From my High Performance driving classes I have taken at DE's, the throttle should be...
That was one of the concerns I had with the S650. Depreciation on the M2 has been pretty good so far. I bought in 2024 and since then there have been 3 pretty substantial price increases which definitely aided resale. I paid $62K for the car and I could still probably sell her for $59K. I...
My wife is from Japan, I've seen them have a Shinto Priest do a blessing on the car for safety. Also going to the local shrine and get a charm from the local shrine for safety in the vehicle. I love different Asian cultures. I have been to Korea for the Army when I was with the 25th Infantry...
