To the 87% of us who don't want a 4 cylinder M2, no point waiting any longer, put your orders in for the M235, it's the next best thing to a real inline 6 M2 that we won't get.

I've been saying this for 6-8 months.
You " 87% " ( or is it " 47 %" ?) are apparently just 6 cylinder fans and not fans of BMW motor design or apparently fans of the M division in general.
Just realize that there are many many many E30 M3 enthusiasts that reject the 1M as any successor to the ORIGINAL M3. That car... the E30 M3 ... . a 2 door, short wheelbase, lightweiight M car designed for racing, with a 4 cylinder motor that sounds incredible... ( something which bimwads with inline-6-on-the-brain feel is somehow impossible... ) has yet to have a true successor.. and now.... it's time. Of course... DIE HARD fans of the E30 M3 will still reject it..... " it's heavier... it wasnt designed for racing... it 's got a TURBO motor and ELECTRIC STEERING for chrisssake" but that's because they are frozen in the past..... along with a bunch of 6 cylinder fans...
And maybe it's a good thing the M4 came along because certainly it's size and dimensions are NOTHING near what the E30 M3 was... But that's ok.. there is plenty of time for you to learn....
