Hello All,
Quick one from the UK if I may, probably a very silly question, articles I've read seem to point to there having been a 97 M2, followed by a 97/98 M2. If this is the case, what were the differences between the two and how was it reflected in the VIN number?
Thanks

97/98 M2

Whiskey Tango, I'm sure you know the rest...

Seriously, there was a 1997 M2, a 1998 M2, a 1999 M2, a 2000 M2, a 2001 M2 and a 2002 M2.

Any reference to a 97/98 M2 is likely parts or service literature as the model years are very similar.


Where'd you see reference to a "97/98 M2"?

Biggest differnce between the early models are the brakes. 97 models had Pm front, Brembo rear. 98 and later models had Nissin front and back. From 99 a lot of differences, too much to write.

Thanks for the information, it was spotting a difference in bottom end cases that first got me thinking. Mine is an early 97 (VIN sequential # in the 170s)
