Also just barely off the 1M's numbers on the slalom and skidpad…with no LSD and narrower tires IIRC.
These are awfully good numbers for a comfortable, entry-level sports coupe.
Not many cars in the BMW stable (or any other for that matter) beat all of the above numbers.
Mind this puppy has only been gently *massaged* by the M boys. It frightens me what they could do with a lighter, tighter and more powerful version!

Except after you add the $3k LSD... One might as well get the new Mustang, it already has much more performance, and is a lot less.
GT350 anyone..?
I have a 135is, if the M2 doesn't impress, the new 5.0 is going to be a steal...hard to pass up.
have a look-see..
