Indeed.

The M2 is going to piss off a LOT of old guard M3/4 cats. The 235 is already a pretty badass little car in terms of power, brakes and handling. It's kicking ass all over the press and with its new owners, though the grumpy ones out there only want to talk about the unearned "M" badges. Whatever.

Add 50-75 more hp, drop it a bit, firm up the body roll and insert an LSD and this mother is going to smoke a lot of things around a track.

The 911 has been the holy grail for Porsche for years. Many feel that the Cayman is a better handling car than the 911 but just lacks the hp to really compete. Folks seem to feel that Porsche intentionally under powers the Cayman to keep the "little brother" from getting too close to the hallowed 911.

In my opinion, the M3/M4 is the equivalent to BMW. The masthead vehicle for the brand.
I wonder if the M2 will be the best BMW can do in that size, or whether they will intentionally prevent it from getting too close to the pedestal that the M3/M4 sit on?
