No M2 means lost sales in my book, this thread makes it obvious. I have had several M cars, have 2 at this exact time, and the M3/4 does nothing for me, while I have been excited about the last 3 generations. Granted, I did not drive it yet but my friend has a 435 and that this is huge....it looks like an 850 from the back! I am not bashing the new model nor the accomplishments and the great interior, I just want something else that BMW does not have anymore. I am not interested in a M performance model, since I did that once.....remember the 330 ZHP? Great car, loved it a lot, especially alcantara interior, but it was not a true M - I am willing to pay to play but don't make me wait too long BMW
