Yes, E30 M3 7300rpm rev limiter not sounds high to today standards, but compared to another cars on this era, like Ferrari 348 7500rpm. M3 has only 3% lower redline. Nowadays 458 has limiter in 9000rpm. So if M2 wants to be as hooligan car as e30 M3 it needs redline near 8500rpm, then it sound good even a four-pot.

You can think whatever you want, M-DCT is a given.

Since it snot a limited production, it will most certainly have both a manual and a DCT transmission. They will lose sales if only a manual in a high volume production car like this.

That's just dumb. Make as many as people want. Don't create this artificial situation where interested people can't get one.

Because that's exactly what happened with the 1M. It would be a shame if this is true...
The limited availability of the 1M is also one of the factors that makes it so sought after. Go ahead BMW don't change a proven formula and make it a halo car as you did with the 1M.

Disappointed in the new M3/4 engine, S55, and what appears to be the engine selection, N55, in the M2.
In my opinion:
S55 = 335 M Sport +
N55 = 2M

S65 turbo = M3/4
S55 = M2

Will keep E92 M3. If new M2 has an S55 will probably buy, otherwise will look to Porsche, VW and Mini for a smaller performance coupe.

Couldn't agree more red. Anyone who thinks the M2 should be 6MT only doesn't understand the current marketplace or marketing. Approximately only 20% of buyers take up the manual option. BMW aren't dills.

Also, the funny thing about this is people want the M2 because of its performance, and then they want the slower option of the manual. If they were truly performance drivers there is only one gearbox to use, the M-DCT.

I'm happy for there to be a manual option for those so inclined, but no way will it be the only option.

Funny, but IF M-DCT had been offered the car would have sold more in that form than it did in Manual.

Thankfully that nightmare didn't occur, I jest but people can buy what they want; just continue to offer the archaic, in my opinion, more enjoyable option and we can all get along lol.
