Will the 2 get new engine?

So words on the street is that the 3 series (LCI) will get new engines. You think the 2 will follow?

335 will become 340 with the new B58 engine
328 will become 330 with B48

I think so. It's usually what happens when they introduce a new generation of engines. The M2, however, will likely to be based on the current generation N55.

The real question is whether it'll still be 320hp or 350hp or more? It has make less power than the M2.

And whether it'll be called the M240i?

An M235i with a B58? I'm more than OK with this. If that's projected to put out upwards of 340-350 hp, that n55 in the M2 should be pushing north of 370 hp I'd guess, yeah?

I don't think an increase in engine fuel efficiency means anything. That has to do with engine design, otherwise the S55 would be less fuel efficient than the S65, and we know that's not true.

The recent post regarding new naming and engine implies a life cycle impulse M235i will receive the B58.

You're right...New engines always = more HP

It would be good news for the HP rating of the M2 if the LCI 235 (or 240) comes out first with the B engine rated at 340 hp or thereabouts. The M2 would have to break 370 in that case.

I don't think they'll be changing engines any time soon. The 2 is too young for that

Yes, it will get a new engine. It has already been in the newspost about upcoming models and engines for a while:

F22 LCI SOP 07/16, EOP 10/20. Re-engine with B46B20O0 for 228i and B58B30M0 for M235i.

So, looks like it'll start for the 2017 model year lci. Cool. If I stick with the 235 and get another lease, it'll be perfect timing.

I'm confident BMW won't put a used engine in the M2.

They're using the n55, retuned with better cooling like the m3/4

I would not be surprised if the M goes away and it is just called the 240i. I am thinking BMW will realize that using the M in a car that was not a true M car was a bad move. Oh, yes they are selling a lot of them, but they will be coming out with an M2 to quell the thirst of those wanting a M car.

You do realize the M235 is not the only M performance model, right?

I was aware it was an option on other models but was not aware they were plastered with 16 M badges?
