M2 at 2015 Geneva Motor Show?
With the US production date moved forward to November, does anyone else think that the prototype M2 might make its big debut a bit earlier as well? I was thinking the Geneva Motor Show in March might not be a bad guess. Anyone have any insight into this?

that would be great, but we haven't seen any mules that are closer to production cars yet, so that is probably to soon. I know when I bought my 2008 135i, I picked it up late March 2008 and it was the first one the dealer had seen. And that car made it's debut at the NY IAS and that was also in March 2008

Either way, if that is the case, then we only have a 6 week wait which would be awesome. I also think the Cayman GT4 will be unveiled at Geneva, so this would be seriously a fantastic show.

BMW has really been shifty with this car - we have no spy shots for weeks and then a flurry...the US was supposed to get the car in early 2016, now the production will start in late 2015...I think they're trying to generate excitement, and it seems to be working.

Auto shows this year have been big for new releases. I just want to see this M2 with less camo and more production parts. If Porsche releases the GT4 at Geneva, that could be a good indicator for us and the M2. March is so close!

Though, I was also wondering if we wouldn't see a concept in Geneva after we learned the Nov SOP.

My guess is that there will be an official announcement in March, that the M2 concept will be unveiled at Frankfurt, 2015. I'm still guessing production version intro at Detroit 2016, with Spring delivery.

Not absolutely sure, but wasn't the 2 series media unveiling done in the last week of October, 2013? So a September 2015 intro for November production would be in line with the initial 2er launch schedule.

Right, but the concept (which is pretty much production model with some extra parts) should be unveiled earlier (possibly).

Hmmm some exciting times ahead. Keenly awaiting the concept version, see what new tech we could potentially see on the LCI versions of the current cars as well.

Hmmm, something missing from the BMW news or have all the car mags missed the M2 concept....?
