Call up your dealer and say "put me on the M2 wait list."
I called a local dealer and they said they would put me on the list for a $1000 deposit. Is that typical?

And for what I'm looking for with my next car, having another gas guzzling V8 is not really an option.
I'm basically in the exact same boat. My R32 engine blew, and after getting it fixed I sold it, so I'm looking for a track car/occasional DD. Still happy with the E90 M3 as a DD. New M3/M4 a bit too big and possibly too much torque for track. Unlike you though, I really want a DCT, and probably <$70k, which for me basically just means M2, 4C, CPO Cayman variant. Will need to do something for this track season, though, if I wait for the M2, which would like mean tracking the E90 for a year. Seems like if I want to do a late spring 2016 ED for next year's track season, I might need to get on a list pretty soon.

Whoops, I totally wrote that wrong haha. We're actually on almost completely a different boat. What I meant was: I'm not looking for just a track car. So cars like a GT350R (while I surprisingly think is cool) just isn't going to be much use to me. That's not to say that the M2 won't be occasionally tracked, but seeing as how my E36 M3 is going, I think I've kind of learned my lesson. I took the E92 to the track and had a blast, decided to get an E36 to start tracking more. It's now turned into a DD just because I really don't have many free weekends to go these days.

And yea, if you are dead set on doing spring ED, I'd try to get on a list. Hell it would be cool if you can go do the mass ED that will surely be set up.

So what you are saying is that the M2 will get the LCI at the same time as the other 2 series models,which will be the 2017 production year.Is that the correct info?

Too early to say for sure, but it would reasonable to expect F87 LCI alongside F22 LCI. As for the timing, may not happen for MY2017. 2018 is more likely.

Man, do I hate speculation. I wish BMW would just give us some real info on this car. I'm 99.999999% sure that I am in on the M2 as soon as I can order it, but some actual facts would be great.

Could be, didn't think of that. I was thinking more likely Geneva autoshow for M2 concept, Frankfurt for full production car. NY is definitely a possibility too I guess

McLaren is unveiling the new P13 at that show. I think BMW could take advantage of all the attention of that World Premier. Plus I'll be there

I wholeheartedly agree as I, too, make the annual pilgrimage to NYIAS.

Come on BMW, do it! Go one up on everyone else and set up a booth with BMW of Manhattan to take ED Invoice orders at the show!

So what's the deal with all the reports suggesting that the M2 will be offered with AWD after the first model year?

One article I read also said that the AWD M2 will weigh more than the M235i. I never trust any of these reports, but I'm curious to hear what you all have to say about it.

Stupid article. They also said the M2 will have an S57 so as far as I'm concerned, those idiots have no credibility.

M2 will be the last of the M cars to be offered in X Drive (M boss doesn't like AWD reference tut tut chaps) I think I read this in an article a few months back. M2s objective is to be a simple interpretation of the M values and lightweight fun. Optional X Drive coming further up the M chain initially.

I think the articles are tagging onto the M235i being offered in X Drive and thus 'they're almost the same vehicle' journo. I think an X Drive M2 might weigh more than an S Drive M235i though yes, extra 70kh for the system?

There are enough luxury models in the portfolio, let's see a lightweight model for once.
