Are they even making an M2? I'd imagine that car would steal a TON of sales from the M4 depending on the engine it has.

It looks good but will need something like 19s with 265 rubber ( E9X M3 option size ) rubber rear to better balance the stubby and chunky body and maybe an inch or so drop to gain some aggressiveness and more serious look. Out of the box it does suffer a bit from the small and cute syndrom.

For the M2, all they have to do to it, is follow the 1M formula. Just bolt all the hardware from the M3/4 underneath the damn thing (suspension arms, LSD, brakes, wheels/tires, etc) - and then streeeetch and box the fenders in an egregious manner to shoehorn all of t in there - and viola! Here's to wishful thinking! |

Very impressed to say the least, will HUD be an available option?

Definitely needs a bigger rim and some spacers.
Will they offer M performance parts immediately, or wait several months? An M-tech diffuser, some black kidneys and a CF spoiler are badly needed.

I'd walk away if they added fog lights. That would block airflow to brakes and aux oil cooler, the latter leading to the wonderful N55 limp mode during track days and some spirited driving.
