The 1M was not more special than the E9x M3 because it had a standard turbo motor. It was very special because of its playful character, great handling, back to the basics approach. And it happened to be a limited run. While I'm super excited about the M2, I'm still waiting to see the final specs, including the price. I couldn't care less about standard features, don't want them. If you drive an F80, and then jump into the M235i, the size of the 2er felt so much more "right". It's so much more of a 1 to 1 replacement for my E36. That's not to say an F80 is off the menu for me. P.S. I personally doubt that the car will start at 55k, but we'll see

Interesting to see the 365-380 hp estimation.
The new C450 AMG is confirmed to be powered by a 370hp engine. If the new 440i is to be powered by a similar power engine, then it means the new M240i should be powered with 370hp aprox... which doesn't make sense. I wonder what BMW is planing for the new inline 6 engine... |

Hate to say it, but you might as well look elsewhere, because the N55 is more or less guaranteed.

If I'm going to do a Cayman it'd be a GT4. I like the idea of the M2 because deep down I still have hope in a proper smallish BMW that will reignite the flame that was once BMW. If not as you stated I'll go GT4. Price point isn't a concern to me as much as the quality of the car.

Well you said special, not that they were different. Anyway, to each and their own. I agree that there needs to be a decent gap between the M2 and M3 in price, but you won't find me saying "I wish I had a bigger car" so that they are more stable.

But considering it'll prob be twice what an M2 costs, it unfortunately won't make it into my garage for many more years. You're fortunate to have that option!

They'll sell every one they can weld together, publicity or no publicity. Should be a freakin' great little car.

And for the last sentence I certainly am. I am far from being "super rich" but seeing where I came from a few years back I thank go every day for what I've achieved using just an idea and a little money. Cheers good sir and thanks again! |

In Canada there was a $15-16k difference between a stripped M3 coupe with performance pack($74-75k) and the 1M($59-60k), if there's the same difference between these two new models(M4 and M2), that would put the M2 a good $10k over the price of a base CLA45(50-51k) AMG, not sure what could justify that!
