I am always on the lookout for my future replacement car and these timelines work for me.
I must confess as a current m235i owner the information released so far on the m2 does not do much for me. I will just wait for the official release information and reviews to come out before passing judgement but I must say the most exciting news for me so far on it is this possible next generation information. More power or 0 - 60 4 sec or less More color options Upgraded interior I want to eat cake too.... for under 60k.

I'm happy with my M235i, it is a fast fun car with good handling and if driven in a conservative way good has mileage. It is also quiet and comfortable on a long trip as well. It should't attract too much attention from the cops and the price is not bad for what you are getting. Basically it is well balanced car for an enthusiast without going overboard.
There are a lot of people that feel the M235i is enough. I would love to have M seats though, that's all I'd take from the M2. Maybe the M2 won't get M seats? If I wanted a track car then I'd definitely wait for an M2. |

I own an M235i. I like it a lot. However, I previously owned an E90 M3 and that car was in a completely different league, as I expect the M2 will be as well. I am fully confident that a tuned M235i will never be as rewarding to drive or own as an M2.

Some of the kids here would be surprised how different M cars are compared to the normal models, but I guess 0-100 and power stats are more important these days.
Not sure whether to laugh or cry when reading some posts. |

Just slap some M2 badges on a 240 and call it good, instant M2...it will happen. I might have to get another e92 and ride this storm out for a couple of years.

I'm just happy to hear of a m2 in 2018.
Time to start planning my ED. (lease ends in june), maybe BMW will do another pull ahead and I can get a 38th b-day present. |

I hate when you're right! Thanks for having my back. I just wasn't expecting it to go so soon. Dude made me an offer I couldn't refuse though.

Just watching the early Nurbergring testing vs the latest videos makes me think the M2 will be quite different from the M235i. Those early videos show a bit of the body rock that the M235 has, but the latest videos show the M2 absolutely pinned to the track.

As BMW announced in 2015 that the M235i will be replaced by M240i in 2017 with 15 HP more than the M235i, I hope BMW do not expect to sell a lot of 2016 M235i...
I know someone who was about to buy a brand new 2016 who deceided to wait and who knows what can happen in a year... |

I really don't understand why BMW feels that they need to keep increasing the numbers? What's wrong with keeping the 228 and 235 models? What's next, 245 and 260? Lol.

Buy now or wait?
Looking at MY2016 228i xdrive. Does anyone know what's coming with the 2017? Any changes to exterior or interior cosmetics? or just the new engine?

Then after that we will start seeing New generation M's with combined electric engine and regular for even more HP and torque. Whilst also meeting the new demands from EU And carbon dioxide emissions for the future. So the end buyers will be able to keep buying M models without getting raped by the taxes on their cars and insurance companies. But that's my gut feeling regarding all news lately about how BMW is evolving the brand to be more hybrids, they will probably keep the straight six considering its a very good engine type with a lot of customizations possibilities for the future. But time will tell.

Glad I didn't hold off on this one.. Seems like the current models will still be relevant for some time, which equals a long and happy relationship
