I am starting to have doubts about the M2.
When you start put things together, you ask yourself what engine would go in it. Without it stepping on the M3/M4 toes. I just don't see them putting a turbo 4 in it like the competitors.
Then there is the LSD option that will be available for the M235i. Usually that is saved for the full M-treatment.
It just seems difficult to slot a car between the M235i and M4. Both already having FI inline 6 cylinders. Also with them saying their goal was to outperform the 1M, it does sound like this is the successor.
If it does come, won't be for years. Maybe a low volume car like the 1M. |
There will be no M2.
M235i will be able to compete with the M3/4. Just as the 1M could compete with a e9x m3.
Besides people always didn't wanto compare their $80,000 M3 to a $50,000 1M.(even though it is a very close comparison track time wise)
The naming is another financial stint by BMW. |
bingo....hell even the standard 135 was nearly as quick as an m3 of the time. the fact is that not everybody wants the 'smallest' BMW.....but some of us ONLY want the smallest BMWs!!
