You guys really should be paying a bit more attention to if it will also be "beating" or at least equalling the 1M in terms of engagement and fun. They are throwing a word, a claim in front of you and some of you guys think that it means that it is going to be hell of a sports car because of that claim basically from a high rank marketing official whose job is to sell the new product! Why don't people insist asking if it will have a better steering set up or a different suspension geometry or different size tires and wheels or if it will be the exact same lsd of 435i which will lock up to 30% and how exactly it will work, if the car will be available for someone who doesn't want i-drive for instance, if the lsd will be made available only for someone who also opted for adaptive dampers and all other stuff etc. etc. There are so many questions that most people are not even wondering despite the fact that they probably are potential buyers, and instead just buying a claim that "it will be faster than the 1M on N-ring"; well thank you very much BMW, mostly thanks to your underrating policy even a Megane RS is faster than the 1M on the Ring, at least officially, and don't know why or how it is not faster than the 1M on any other track, go figure.

Just go and shoot BMW with some real questions that deserve an answer. This is supposed to be an enthusiast forum afterall, we are not buying a more silent washing machine here. Aim high for the next M2 too, like Levi who posted above if you want that car to be produced and be something really excited.

Don't you see that they are delaying or maybe thinking of eventually giving up the idea of M2 and this because of both the M3/M4 and these MPerformance cars. Don't get too happy about the M235i with a lsd if you really want to have a great M2, that will work against the M2.

Why exactly this M235i will be a better driver's car than the 1M or will it be? That is the only question I have in my mind, can someone answer? Don't tell me just because it is newer though.
