2-Series Tech

Any ideas on what technology options will be carried down from the 3/4 Series to the new 2-Series? I've got a 2013 328 M-Sport, but I'm interested in the M235i. However, I've grown to really like the HUD, Navi, HK, and other bells & whistles. It would be nice to have the more sporting feel of the 2-Series (I'm hoping) with the tech from the 3-series.

im guessing the HUD won't be in the 2 series, nor will the side and top view cameras or park assistant(well for a car this size you don't need these anyways.)

the updated nav with touch idrive should be there, HK will be there. i think that's pretty much what i need, although a HUD would be nice

While I'm afraid they might leave out the HUD, I'm hoping it's available... at the very least in the M2 whenever that comes out (2015-2016?). That would help sell me.

(I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a gadget freak.)

The park assistant is useless (have it on my 328i, and it works about 25% of the time), but the Top View Camera ROCKS. Thanks to this feature, I'll never scratch a rim. That's worth money and frustration to me.

Knowing BMW, all but the most prestigious features will be available at launch.

You will likely end up paying 4 series money for a similarly-equipped 2 series, but I think the 2 is a great looking car from what I have seen. I would make the change

For me, it's not the price that keeps me from wanting the 4-series. I am hoping for the more sporting character of the 1/2-series vs. the watered-down steering feel from the 3/4.

This!

Lighter, cheaper, faster - what's not to like.
