The M2 is the smaller, lighter more agile car. Buying a low optioned affordable performance BMW to drive the piss out of on track. To take it to Tail of the Dragon, to drive Laguna Seca, Nurburgring.. What you're missing from my argument (I should have been more direct) is, it'll be a FANTASTIC car, BUT you'll never be able to say "HA those guys that bought the over priced M4 are so dumb and I'm so much smarter for waiting on this M2", based on performance figures alone. BMW will leave something out.

M2 won't kill the M4/3 It'll just introduce more buyers to the BMW brand and give people access to an M car that may have not been able to before.

Cheers
Makes the case for the M2 NOT having:

1. Adaptive Suspension
2. DCT

My guess is not even optional for those.
