BMW has not given ANY indication that the M2 will even be a real M-car, or offer such focus.. There is no way BMW will peal off 200lbs from the M235i... which is now as heavy as a Mustang.
I am not impressed, nor I am faithful that BMW will make the M2 a quintessential car. It will be pure marketing.. as we have not seen any M2's with CF bits.. which is a must for anyone paying BMW M's premium.
Secondly, BMW better think long & hard of all the people in waiting for this M2... which are MANY. I am pounding on my 135is in hopes of ordering a M2.. but zero CF, or other quint stuff, then I will easily flip my cash towards Fords and get that GT350 for the same price.
Not as uppity, but I know that won't have BMW nannies, & will have way more potential on the track...

Well, we already know the M2 is not a true M car. Like the 1M, the M2 will be another parts bin car - M3/4 suspension, brakes, differential and the slightly tuned outgoing N55 engine.
I can always hope!
P.S. Here is my old 1M(sold but still in my possession) with CF roof(I think it was about 10 lbs lighter) and BBS FI(~7 lbs lighter at each corner) wheels.
