I get it, you have a 1M which may be obsolete soon. Don't sweat it, but I doubt BMW will slow down progress because of you.
When we see what the final M2 will look like, when/if it's released we can do real comparos.
Maybe the M Badge will be diluted but it will only be in the eyes of the "purists" and not everyday consumers.
If BMW can throw in a stock N55, with a slight tune, M Brakes and slap a M badge on it to get more market penetration at a cheaper price point than the direct competition (usintg existing manufacturing/tooling), it's could be considered marketing genius. Especially since most BMW's already outperform their competition and a smaller/less expensive M2 would appeal to a much younger demographic.
I'd say leave the marketing and engineering to BMW.
It seems like everyone would like a replacement for the e92/M3 sub 50k.

Obsolete?
Tell me why and others also hear the voice of reason and benefit from that.
Maybe you convince me and I get rid of my soon-to-be obsolete ride just on time to get a new engineering marvel.
