The heir is ready to explore exciting new journeys.

A nuskool unicorn ? Another rebel youngster ? Different expectations ? Track rat ?

Oldskool is timeless !

Still not holding my breath for a full unveiling. Teaser? Probably.

I had a Mid-Summer's Night Dream that the M2 had a bespoked engine. A 3 liter twin turbo, with 5 valves per cylinderand Direct injection and a 8,000 rpm redline. It made 400/400. And somehow they managed to take 400 pounds out the car. Making the car---400/400/400. The M engineers nicknamed the car "triple four". And it was a beast of a car...

And then I woke up....and it's Summer no more, but Fall.

Winter will be the season to welcome the v2.0, half a decade after the infamous v1.0.

I hope we get a teaser video before that or even some new spy shots with with less camo.

2 weeks is a long time.

I wouldn't be surprised if you get the first teaser on October 14.

I wouldn't be surprised if no reveal or no teaser comes on October 14/15, but rather just public acknowledgement.

You'll get a teaser video of the car on the track with camo essentially being BMW's first official confirmation of the M2. Sound familiar? Oh yeah, they did the SAME thing with the 1M.

Yep, this is the most likely scenario.

Also, I was thinking today about how several of us thought we might see an M2 concept at the Geneva show. In March. 6 months ago.

As per Scott26 basically saying it would be there.Maybe the fact that he isn't commenting about Oct 14 means we might actually see the M2 at that event.

Scott26 said the M2 will be at the Tokyo Motor Show (10/28 start) for sure. It may also show up (not for sure because of proximate Tokyo dates) at the LA auto show (11/17 start).

As far as something happening earlier, I would guess it would be an "internet reveal" (official renderings and stats), along the lines of what's currently taking place with the new X4. http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1177295

I'm not sure what October 14 has to do with anything. Some have attached an M2 debut at a DTM event on October 14. Problem with that is, among other things, there is no DTM event on October 14.
