Expect to pay about 20% more on fuel. That's coming from zf to dct and my experience. Might be because it's more fun in the M2 and find myself in Sport + as a default...

Little bit heavier on fuel over my 240i, RIS, tax and tyres (I have puncture insurance tho). Would I swap back to my 240i to save a few £££ - no, it's worth the extra IMO. The running cost for the M2 aren't huge so far - brakes etc later down the line will be the bigger bills I think.
Had my front discs and pads replaced under warranty. Asked the service guy how much and he said about £1000. Not sure how much I believe him on that though.
The contis only lasted 10k miles for me. Hoping to get much more out of the PS4S I replaced them with. Got nearly 30k miles from MPSS on my M135.
Insurance is quite a bit more than my M135 was and if the car is relatively new the tax will be more because it's over £40k.
I'm amazed how long they're lasting on my M140i. To say how narrow the rears are and the power / torque they have to cope with is impressive. They can't be that hard either as I think they grip superbly well even in the cold.

Although I've only just got it and running it in, I'm getting around 23MPG. I do a fair amount of M25 though.
My insurance renewal (Admiral) rocketed though from around £550 in M135i to £1500 in M2! Mods declared too on both.
