I will put on my flame suit here, but this is what I want to see as an OPTION, maybe on the M235i and not necessarily the M2, but...

TwinScroll Turbo I6 333+ HP
M adaptive suspension
< 3000 lbs. If this means the back seats are thinner and a rougher ride, that's fine, that's for kids anyway.
4 Door option (Gran Coupe)
Manual 6 speed or that slick new 8 speed auto (have one in my X1, its nice)
and..
AWD.

BMWs AWD system is better than the Audi variants IMO, and significantly better than the others available with Lexus, Cadillac, Merc. But there is an outlier.

The Subaru WRX STi. It has 305 HP and the best AWD system available. Also happens to be the only one available in a manual, so double + there.

An AWD 330 HP 2800 lb 2 or 4 door 2 series would be the GO TO car for anybody in ALL STATES. You think people in Minnesota want to buy a light RWD coupe?

An AWD configuration would open up BMW to motorsports other than just paved events. It could then compete well in ALL sports from drag racing to motocross. If this became available in 2 or 4 doors, I would buy it immediately!
