I wouldn't be so envious.
They tout that it makes the same figures as the 1M - true - but the rpm peak is at 5500 rpm, not closer to 6500 rpm like the 1M.
The M2 is actually WAY more willing to rev at the top end than the 1M. There is a significant drop off in power after 6500 rpm on the N54B30T0 while the N55B30TO makes good power right up to the 7k range.
Owners can tune it all they want but Compared to the M2 these will definitely not rev as high. They will be awesome daily drivers though.
The 230 will be a pocket rocket.
The people who really should be upset all own M235i... Least it is a ten best car.
