You are clearly in for a lot of disappointment. As for it being slower than an M235i in a straight line, sure, I really don't care. I'm okay with the M235i catering to the recent round of hp folks that BMW has attracted since the N54 came along and the M2 catering to the longer term BMW fans who were accustomed to BMW's not necessarily being straight line performers, but balanced performers that could out handle most other cars. Think E36 (euro) or E46 M3's. With the F8x car providing good power and lots of torque, I really hope BMW takes a different approach with the M2 and doesn't chase magazine numbers, but goes for the fun to drive factor like they achieved with the 1M.
