So those saying there will be an M2, you don't know that but it would seem there is an appetite for one.

For those saying there won't be an M2, again you can only say there ISN'T an M2 not there won't be one.

Sadly we'll just have to wait and see

I am for the M2, but what power plant will BMW use? A detuned version of the S55 or a highly BMW tuned version of the "on its way" out N55?

BMW, just don't make another parts bin car from all the leftover parts! Make it unique!

Id gladly head over to the BMW dealership and trade my E-92 M3 for an M2! BMW what the hell are you waiting for this car would be a great seller. Sell the M235i for 43-45k the M2 for 55k and the M4 for 65k which to me sound perfect. Im not buying an M4 or M3, im waiting on this car even if it means holding on to my E92 for a while. My wifes 328d feels huge while driving, i want a smaller car!!

That front valance is horrible

[QUOTE=Igor@ONEighty;14898606]Just came across this. So dope.

If the M2 looks like this, I better go and clear space in the garage next to the 1M as I have just found its soul mate

BMW go and build it and don't forget the liberal sprinkling of magic dust taken from the 1M, if it makes the grade we will buy it

PopsnBurbles · 10-31-2013, 06:06 PM

If that's honestly the M performance, I'm a little disappointed. That M performance render should be like the M235i and the regular is the regular M sport or vice versa. I was under the impression that the "performance" division would deviate from the M division and the stock/Msport. For example, the front bumper they sold for the E90 and E82/88/87.

I'm looking for something unique from the "performance" division but this render still looks amazing.

I know I can't stop looking at that 1st picture. I find myself always wandering back into that post and looking and looking and looking....

I think that's the only way I can accept that front end... the double slat grilles complete it. Otherwise it looks a lil weird to me.

This thing is tits!!! So much win all around. Compared to the M4 render- I would take an "M2" any day of the week. I got that same feeling I got after seeing the e92 for the first time when seeing this render

The render in post# 1 is a win for me as well!

Kaxon · 10-31-2013, 11:23 PM

That first render looks amazing. I was not a fan of the looks of the 1 series, but the 2 series is an improvement, and if they make a M2 that looks like that, I'll be tempted...

OverDriven · 11-01-2013, 02:12 AM

That M2 render is absolutely jaw dropping. If BMW makes this car, I could see a problem with interest in the M4 coupe decreasing.

They will have a few years to sell M4s before the M2 shows up

I am with you on this one … i will take an M2!

Which, of course, is the reason you will not hear BMW announcing plans publicly to produce an M2. The announcement itself could cannibalize sales of M4s and M235i's also. From a marketing perspective, it's better for them to stay mum on it or say "they have not made a decision at this time."

How about this? Was thinking M4 convertible but might actually go this route. The car is absolutely gorgeous!
