I will have bought the MY right before the LCI debuts.
Are LCIs generally just a bumper cover change? Or do they involve fenders and headlights too?
For the OG F87s, what does it take to make it look like an LCI F87?

To make a OG F87 to look like an LCI all you need to do was changed the front/rear lights.

Don’t think it had any interior changes however if you look at the M4 G82 LCI that’s got new rear/front headlights and new dashboard and steering wheel.

If anything I think the M2 will be like the M3 LCI coming it will get the new dash and one set of lights updated (the M3 is only getting new headlights)

OG F87 LCI did get a revised dashboard and instrument cluster in addition to the exterior lighting.

Another dumb question - is/was the F87 Comp and F87 LCI the same thing?

No.

F87 LCI went into production in 07/2017 and was the 2018 model year OG M2. It was only in production for 11months, ending in 06/2018 before being replaced by the F87 M2 Competition. The M2C got all the LCI updates but also received the S55 engine, revised front bumper/grille, new wheels, M side mirrors, M front seats to name a few.

It’s not just lights

They don’t do those often though? Majority of the time it just been lights?

The Recent LCI for the M4 they only changed the lights, dashboard, steering wheel and they added silver wheels.

They may change the bumpers to fit the lights but I wouldn’t call it a big visual change.

These LCI changes are minimal. The x-drive version is probably the competition?

But I'm struggling with that, it's frankly, disappointing. X-drive+competition I'll just get an M3, there's damn near no weight penalty, a huge step up in usability, and the M3 comp is a track monster.

Trying to decide on an M2 vs a Cayman GTS 4.0 or GT4 or some sort of 911 GTS. Seems like BMW is just compromising everything right now which muddy's the water for a decision like this. The Cayman with the NA motor drives really well, makes a great noise, it's super expensive, there are some clutch issues as well with the MT cars. The BMW would make an excellent weekender but 3800lbs??? Manual only on the base car...shit like that is annoying.

I mean, hell yeah get the GTS 4.0 or GT4 if you want to spend that much money. I didn't want to spend the $30k ADM at the time to get a GTS 4.0. Not sure if things have changed.

There's some dealers doing it with no ADM but the lists are pretty long. I'm number 13 at one dealer and 9 at another.

525HP & RWD is going to be wild on the G87

X-Drive would have been awesome, but I'm loving this from a weight standpoint.

This right here has the potential to go down as one of the greats

[BroDoze]

Yes - gonna be sweet, for sure.

[OUGrad05]

Still no competition.

BMWBLOG suggests the M2x will arrive in calendar year 2026.

"Looking further ahead, 2026 could be the year when BMW will give its smallest M car an xDrive setup."

This article focuses on the "M2 30 Years Edition" with only 30 cars being planned for production to celebrate the 30 years of the Mexico plant operating. I wonder how tough it will be to get one of those and who would get them. My vote is to gift them out the best 30 employees at that plant for making such awesome cars!
