I am starting to have doubts about the M2.
When you start put things together, you ask yourself what engine would go in it. Without it stepping on the M3/M4 toes. I just don't see them putting a turbo 4 in it like the competitors.
Then there is the LSD option that will be available for the M235i. Usually that is saved for the full M-treatment.
It just seems difficult to slot a car between the M235i and M4. Both already having FI inline 6 cylinders. Also with them saying their goal was to outperform the 1M, it does sound like this is the successor.
If it does come, won't be for years. Maybe a low volume car like the 1M. |
There will be no M2.
M235i will be able to compete with the M3/4. Just as the 1M could compete with a e9x m3.
Besides people always didn't wanto compare their $80,000 M3 to a $50,000 1M.(even though it is a very close comparison track time wise)
The naming is another financial stint by BMW.
