I mean we had a 135 and even a 135is, but nothing like this in "racing" form, and then the 1M was actually produced. Albeit in small numbers, but at least they made the damn thing.

The more "stuff" I see for the M235, the less likely an M2 seems, at least in my mind.

What they have done with the fenders is just awesome--same as they did with the 1M--it has made both cars take on a bulldog-type stance. The 2er looks a little sexier with the wider hips though...

This will be interesting to watch...

Well the main difference should be the weight and the engine. M2 should get, based on N48, the S48 whose race version is P48 (M4 DTM). The Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ is THE enthusiast car, despite low power. BMW have also cancelled the Z2, or if there will be one, it will be FWD. So BMW has only the M2. The other M is above M4.
