pretty much makes me forget how much I dislike the new 2 series styling. sign me up for an M2 after my current lease is over!
automatic transmission is a bit of a buzzkill though...ack. hope the production version gives more transmission options and even if it doesn't I hope it is the DCT and not that generic 8 speed ZF. |

The car isn't even going fast in any portion of the video. The best part is at the very end when you can hear the exhaust - which did sound nice. Not sure how many of you are into bikes, but this reminds me of a Ducati video - aka, it's more about style and looking cool than what the bike, or in this case the car, can actually do. I am not hating on Ducati - I have one and have owned another one. To me though, you use things like music and panning shots to "spice up" a car that needs help looking and sounding good. The M235 racing car should not fit that definition. If it were me making this video, I would have had 0 music, and shown the car busting its respective balls around corners and going down the straights at 155 MPH. Just my $.02 EDIT - just watched it again, and my god, this might as well be an advertising video for Puma and Castrol too. Count the times you see the logos - ///MMMMMMMMMMMMarketjng at its best

Is it just me, or i can see a Start/Stop button in a racing (probably) not street legal BMW.
Although I really love how it looks and sound. |

And it's 17 degrees F here today, and I was out driving a hell of a lot faster than that, in my run of the mill 135 - just to get a McDonald's hash brown. Just sayin.

...watched the video... twice.
Gents, I may have a pristine 1M for sale in 2 yrs! (Of course provided they don't succumb to too many demands from the market place; steering feel, transmission options ect). Fingers crossed. |
