Autocar in the M2 article: "With the existing M235i coupé weighing 1535kg, a lightweight M2 should come in at closer to 1400kg." ( http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ne...-new-bmw-m-car).
If 1400 kg (3086 lbs) is the M2 CSL/GTS target weight figure - could be mere speculation though - then dropping 2 cyl might be inevitable to achieve that goal.
There's no doubt that the M2 base model will feature a 6-cyl. |
I too love the I6 (currently have an S52,N54, & N55) BUT, I would be very interested and would love to test drive the M2 with an I4 with a much lighter weight...my Mz3 is about 3086. I can't imagine how much fun the M2 would be.
