Will the new M2 Competition influence the next 2 series design direction??
Just curious if you guys know or think that the new M2 competition design will influence the next gen of the 2 series.
I personally really like the new M2, it looks fast and aggressive. I'm hoping I can be patient enough to wait for the next big 2 series update. I'm in for a M240 if it looks as good as the M2. Do we know when the next 2 update is scheduled to launch? 2020-21?? thx |

I wouldn't be surprised if the 240 doesn't get the same HP increase as the M2. Seems like BMW wants to position the M2 as the top dog of the 2 series and leave more of a gap between it and the 240. I don't have any source just speculating.

The only visual change with the M2 Comp vs the current M2 is the revised front and rear bumper cover, the wheels, and side mirrors.

I sure would like to like to get a M2 competition after some depreciation, I think they will hold their value though. It's going to be a toss up between the M2 competition and Corvette C8 when it comes time to buy again. (Many years from now)

Didn't I read that the next iteration of the 2 will be based on the UKL platform and be FWD?

oh thank the motoring gods I am wrong. Seems the 2 Coupe is WAY down on their list of things they care about, so wouldn't expect to see a lot of R&D going into it / will just use the current platform and do cosmetic changes. At least until they want to do a small / economical pure electric, which I would also think would be the LAST thing they make in the electric range.
