Seems lower than I would expect. Are you all putting the car in dyno mode? Maybe that's not even necessary on the manuals. I'm not sure what all that mode does.
The purpose of a catalytic converter is to "burn off" excess emissions that don't get burned during normal combustion. Without that you get a lot more of a smell coming from the exhaust.
It's very noticeable if you're driving behind someone that doesn't have a cat installed.
It's technically a no cost option. I think it's just required that you order the manual with the drivers assistance package vs it being optional for the automatics.
If you fully option out a 3.0 premium auto vs the manual, it's the same price.
According to Toyota's VIN analyzer it's actually a manual. I've seen a lot of dealers label automatics as manuals on their websites and car gurus but this one is actually a manual it seems.

It makes sense to me. I'd expect a manual to read a little higher than the automatic and the automatics already dyno at like ~390whp stock on a dynojet.
Just when you think BMW can't design something any worse they release the M performance parts for the new M2. They are seriously just copying Scion at this point.
Even if I were planning on tuning, I wouldn't be able to stomach the looks of the m2 or m3/4.
A car that runs close to a flat 12 quarter mile is fast enough for me. ~400whp is about perfect for the street. Any more becomes kind of useless.
It's definitely still hideous in the official pictures. Car and driver also says BMW gave them the same 0-60 figures for the new model vs the outgoing M2C. I'm sure it will be a little quicker on track but man what a disappointment after the first generation.
This definitely reaffirmed my...
