Just wanted to post that note here for anyone using this thread to make a buying decision (like i certainly did in weighing pros and cons).

Well I custom ordered and did not spec the CCBs and despite not taking delivery yet fear I will also regret it. I decided against it due to cost.

In retrospect, this will be a super low mileage garage queen with no track time so the CCBs would have been ideal. Still, the cost...

Regret is a negative force,
M2CS is a positive force.

May the (+ve) force be with you (soon and forever)

My son would appreciate that line! Yeah, regret is a strong word. Never had CCB on any of my M cars so my hope is I just won't miss what I've never had!

I agonized over CCB. I did not spec it, and thought that I would regret it. It doesn't bother me at all. The discs and pads fit the non ccb calipers, so it's just a matter of buying them.

ScullyD · 01-05-2021, 10:33 AM

I think ultimately, the CCBs will be pure depreciation and cars with CCBs could be avoided in years from now on the secondary market because a CCB brake job is so expensive. I decided to go with a spec that i usually look for when i'm shopping for a performance car on the secondary market (manual + steel brakes).

According to the scientific poll here for the M2 CS, 75% / 25% in favor a manual.

Some interesting stats in this article about take rates.

Yeah, pretty high manual take-rate.
69.55% MT as per the "final" registry data. (for US vehicles)

Interesting how the CS is at the same 70% rate as the GT3, the main subject of the article.

True, it'd be interesting to see data for the entire F87 line once production ends.
For the F80 it was 30% MT US compared to <5% Global.
Hard to beat that WRX MT rate!

Yep and the BRZ vs 86 difference was curious. Shows why 2 badges makes sense, different audiences.....

That's about 28 detailing jobs that can pay for.
Assuming you get 4 detailing sessions per year.

You can have a clean car AND clean wheels without you having to lift a single microfiber cloth for 7 years if a clean car is all you're looking for out of the brakes. lol

4 detailing jobs a year leave you 361 other days when your wheels are, let's say, not clean

mic drop

The CS wheels are way easier to clean than the F80 M3 666M wheels. I actually like cleaning my own car, but those wheels forced to me to delegate. I'll be washing the CS myself.

Love the CCBs, but didn't make sense for my daily driving routine at that price. I totally get it for those that want them, though.

The WRX should be 100%, no one should be buying a CVT in any vehicle, much less a WRX.
