I can't wait for M2...It is gonna be an amazing car. Although BMW brakes are good, i am hoping they up the anty a bit and put Brembo's on the 2M as well. They missed that on the 1M. I do agree with most posts on here the current M3 is just to heavy and big compared to the 1 series and yes it seems slower than my 135i especially down low..BUT the V8 sounds amazing in the upper RPM's..something the 1M can't match and i am sure neither will the M2, but for normal daily driving i do prefer to feel the TQ down low so,,,,sign me up for the M2....and hopefully BMW will offer a better color selection than the 1M...I want a Blue color like LeMans but nicer LOL..
