2017 M2 coupe vs 2020 M2 ??

Debating on trading my 2017 base modell M2 in for a 2020 M2. Is the motor that much more with basic bolt on's ? Is it that much better than what i already have ? Love the bigger brakes and ride actual feels smoother too

I sold my 2017 and bought a 2020 a few months ago. It is 100% worth the trade

Car feels more refined overall. Looks better on the front end (and tail end since you have a pre-lci). Front end is so much tighter in turn-in due to the carbon and aluminum braces. Brakes are much much better. Power is also more than a fully tuned M2 and in its stock form. Tune the M2C and it's an absolute monster.

Better?

Overall improvements compared to the OG M2 are interesting but maybe not enough to think about the trade. The real breakthrough is the engine, totally another league, it is enough to make it worth it. Then, add all the rest (seats, mirrors, chassis, brakes etc.)

100% agree. The M2C is just a better car in all aspects specifically the engine. I came off of a 17 M2 swapped turbo and all. M2C is more refined has proper M seats gauges etc. Def worth the upgrade

100% worth it, M2C >> OG M2.

If you want the feeling of a 'totally new car', get the opposite transmission of what you have now in your OG m2.

The tune ceiling on the s55 is drastically higher. Probably a good 3-400hp or more.
