M2, being much higher in production volume and not going toe a 1 year only vehicle, should come in 7-8k under the M3. Dealers were selling the 1Mor mre than E9x M3's in the same showroom. That needs to not happen again. The M2 needs at least 365hp/360tq... Needs to be lighter, and AWD. I raced a M235 in a AWD M235 and simply destroyed the rear wheel drive 235... BMW also needs to dump the M off this cars name and the excessive Badges all over and in the car. It's simply a rebodied 135 with another 60-80 lbs of weight.

Sorry BMW but until you can get back into the sporting, fun drivers car business (BMW has gotten very soft), I'm possibly migrating. That ugly fat forehead nav screen needs to retract someplace. It's darn right ugly and ruins the rather so, so interior. The old 1'ers interior had more personality then this.

There's an S3 in my scope. Having driven the 235 and S3, the S3 is now the engaging drivers car, with a interior that would make an S6 owner comfortable, retractable nav screen, more standard equipment... While the soft kneed 235 is just a video arcade game car with so much computer control, numbness. It's a boring, tiring car to drive. Oh and the S is 4-5k less in base form. I'll give BMW a last chance with the M2.
So the 135 and the S3 has better interior than the 2 series and you want the M2 to be awd?

Hahahaha, to each his own. Looks like you'll need to hold on to your 135 for a while
