I myself pasted on my first place spot and have no regrets considering the way it was built was just robbing the parts bin of the M3 and nothing else.

This new car is exciting, but hardly as exciting as the M2's arrival.
Don't see how that makes the 1M any different than what the M2 might be? It's not like the M2 is going to get a completely bespoke engine like an S65 or S85. The suspension bits will most likely be the same as M3/4. The only thing that will be different this time is that it'll most likely get DCT and maybe CF roof. What do you expect the M2 to have that no one will have predicted?
