I am thinking that BMW will wait to see how the M235 is received and go from there...

I think the two are really different animals--the M235 is going to be a little more comfortable, a little slower, and probably a little heavier.

The M2, if they build it, should be savage. This is where BMW can leave a lot of shit off the options list (like the 1M) to keep the price comparable to a loaded M235.

Savage is savage--I think you can create that with a I4 that revs like crazy or an I6 that's more highly strung than the current N54/N55 platforms. Either way you can have a winner.

Then you pick fast and comfortable VS. savage. Good choice if they don't eff it up...
