As luck would have it, for emissions related reasons it made sense for BMW to give the CS as model year 2019 to base M2 buyers. As if from a gift from the gods for M2C buyers COVID happened and made their car more rare and lose almost no value. No one was predicting emissions would make BMW stick the S55 in the base car with HUGE brakes and new seats for a few bucks. If people had known a Comp version was coming with the S55 with much larger brakes and seats I guarantee you a TON of N55 buyers would have sat out until MY19 Comp cars came out. God knows I wouldn't have bought the N55 car. Now the G87 is coming, I won't be fooled again, and for 4k just get the s58 and whatever else they throw in with it. I think it's going to be hard for BMW to justify and car reviewers to justify the b58 in an M2 after everyone got a taste of the S55 in M2C. |

There is no indication of a b58 g87 but there is every indication the s58 is in the g87 test mules. I don't think they would capitalize on a b58 in the g87, they would be sitting on lots getting a discount, everyone waiting on the sidelines for s58 version if it was just a few more grand. Again, they could put the b58 in the base M3 and M4 if they wanted to and try to "capitalize" on that, but they didn't. The N55 has very weak cooling and just doesn't like to rev like an s55 can. If you're going to tune you can get A LOT more out of an s55 with just software. Last edited by akkando; 04-26-2021 at 10:15 PM.. |

No aftermarket tunes for b58, s55, or s58 car since like June/July/Aug of 2020. |

A typical BMW motor is revised several times over during its self-life, I'm sure if there is some sort of deficiency with the oiling system, triggering a bearing failure - as you're claiming - I have faith that it would be properly addressed before it hits a mass production cycle. I ain't worried, I'll have warrant and I know how to play the system; if the motor is a dud, so be it but I believe its fair to give BMW the benefit of the doubt before you start trashing them for some unsubstantiated issue. Unless you have something right now that could prove otherwise.. 🧐 |

Personally, I don't really understand what you're trying to bring to this thread. The sky is falling, but none of us have seen the car in person or have driven the G87. Do you think all of a sudden, none of us are going to be interested in this car anymore because of your "expertise"? As far as the S58 is concerned, I'm not remotely worried about it. Firstly, I plan to keep it stock if I ever get this car, because these things are already plenty fast. If I wanted something faster, I would have gone electric. Secondly, I wouldn't be surprised if something does come up as the mileages increase. Just part of the game as far as I'm concerned. I've been keeping an eye out on the F97/98 forum and seems fine to me so far.

P.S. His reply back to that post was quite entertaining actually. Not really giving Youtubers a better name after that.

There is actually no way I'd want the S55 because of how horrific it sounds To this day I am absolutely thrilled I bought my M2 when I did
